As a longtime observer of reality TV and its myriad twists and turns, I find myself once again intrigued by the latest development in the world of ABC’s The Bachelor franchise. Grant Ellis, a day trader, former pro basketball player, and self-proclaimed mama’s boy, has been swiftly elevated from contender to leading man, following his elimination on Jenn Tran’s season of The Bachelorette.
Despite Jenn not choosing him, ABC seems optimistic that viewers will take a liking to Grant Ellis as the next Bachelor. The network announced that Ellis, a former pro basketball player and day trader, will star in the upcoming season of The Bachelor. In the recent episode, Ellis expressed his growing feelings for Jenn Tran after a one-on-one date where he shared about his father’s past substance abuse. Unfortunately, Jenn didn’t reciprocate these feelings, leading Ellis to seek love again as the lead in the 29th season of The Bachelor, which is expected to air next year. In a press release, ABC stated that Ellis is excited about the journey ahead filled with romance, adventure, and meaningful connections. He’s looking for a partner who shares his values of loyalty, humor, and an appreciation for life’s simple joys. In a video shared with Good Morning America, Ellis added that he’s searching for someone who is adventurous, affectionate, and loving. “I can’t wait for this amazing journey to begin,” he said. “It’s going to be so much fun, and I hope you all tune in. See you later!”
In essence, this announcement didn’t rank among the franchise’s most shocking ones. Some viewers voiced their disappointment on social media because they found out Grant was leaving before they had a chance to watch the episode live, thus being spoiled prematurely. Others were perplexed by the timing and scale of the news; it’s unusual for a Bachelor to be announced so early in the season of The Bachelorette.
It seems that Robert Mills, an executive at ABC, has announced Grant as the new lead of The Bachelor in a timely manner, allowing potential contestants to apply for his season. This move appears to ensure a wider pool of candidates for the show’s second-ever Black lead, following Matt James. A useful tip: If you have attended plantation-themed parties, it might be prudent to disclose this in your application.
