The Bachelor Season 29 Recap: First Impression Rose Drama

Grant Ellis, the star of season 29 of The Bachelor, made headlines when he awarded his first impression rose to Alexe Godin. This significant gesture also earned her the first one-on-one date of the season. However, the burning question remains: Will Grant propose to Alexe at the final rose ceremony? Grant, now 31 and a day trader hailing from Newark, New Jersey, emerged as the Bachelor following his appearance on Jenn Tran’s Bachelorette season. He previously shared his aspirations of becoming a devoted husband and father.

A Historic First Date

During the season 29 premiere, host Jesse Palmer revealed an exciting twist. For the first time, the contestant receiving the first impression rose would automatically secure the first one-on-one date. Grant chose Alexe Godin, a 27-year-old pediatric speech therapist from New Brunswick, Canada, to receive this honor. As viewers eagerly anticipate the season’s progression, many wonder: will she capture Grant’s heart all the way to engagement?

A Small Town Girl With a Unique Entrance

Alexe’s entrance into the Bachelor Mansion was unforgettable. Arriving in a limousine with a live llama named Linda—a “no-drama llama” she quipped—Alexe aimed to showcase her fun personality. She explained to Grant her French Canadian background and her small-town upbringing on a farm. Grant was visibly delighted by her unique introduction, a stark contrast to the more traditional arrivals of the other contestants.

The Instant Connection

During their one-on-one time, Grant remarked on Alexe’s vibrant energy, which immediately drew him in. Alexe confessed her struggle with her fast-paced speech, humorously suggesting she could benefit from speech therapy herself, to which Grant responded positively.

In a touching moment, Alexe expressed the importance of having a calming presence in her life, and she felt Grant could be that balance for her. Both contestants shared laughter and flirtation, culminating in a playful French lesson that ended with their first kiss.

Grant conveyed to the cameras his genuine appreciation for Alexe’s personality, recognizing her intelligence and humor. He predicted she would excel as a mother, a trait he deeply values as he envisions his future family.

Ultimately, Grant presented Alexe with the first impression rose, affirming their enjoyable connection. The moment was heartwarming, encapsulating the excitement of their budding romance.

Alexe’s Unexpected Departure

Despite the chemistry, Alexe does not receive a proposal at the season’s conclusion. According to spoilers from Reality Steve, their one-on-one date was previewed on the Bachelor Nation YouTube channel, where their musical connection shined through. However, as the competition progressed, Alexe found herself eliminated just prior to the hometown dates.

This surprising turn of events parallels Grant’s own experience from Jenn’s Bachelorette season, as he was previously eliminated before the hometowns as well. The emotional landscape of the show continues to keep viewers on edge, with many left wondering about what could have been regarding Alexe and Grant’s connection.

Who Ultimately Wins Grant’s Heart?

Grant’s Final Four Contestants

Reality Steve disclosed Grant’s final four contestants in an Instagram post: Juliana Pasquarosa, Litia Garr, Zoe McGrady, and Dina Lupancu. After tough decisions and emotional farewells, Grant’s final two were Juliana and Litia, following Zoe’s elimination after overnight dates in the Dominican Republic.

In a twist of fate, Grant ultimately proposed to Juliana in a heartfelt ceremony in the Dominican Republic, marking a poignant conclusion to his journey on the show. Litia finished as the runner-up.

While Alexe’s early departure was unexpected, it also opens the door for her potential return in future seasons, such as Bachelor in Paradise or perhaps even as the lead in an upcoming season.
