Alexe got the First Impression Rose and first One-on-One Date

Grant gave his First Impression Rose to Alexe Godin, a 27-year-old Pediatric Speech Therapist from Néguac, New Brunswick. Alexe arrived with a “no drama llama” for her limo entrance. In a new twist for Grant’s Bachelor season, Alexe also received the first One-on-One Date of the season, as part of her getting the First Impression Rose, according to Reality Steve. 

Zoe is a villain

Zoe McGrady, a 27-year-old Tech Engineer and Model from Chester, Virginia, became the first villain of Grant’s Bachelorette Season 2 during a Group Date in Week 2 when she stole Grant during a drill at the start of a basketball, as well as two more times during the evening part of the group date, according to Reality Steve. The moment caused a feud between Zoe and Alli Jo Hinks, a 30-year-old Boxing Trainer from Freehold, New Jersey.

There’s drama between Grant and Rose

During a Group Date in Week 2, when the contestants had to perform R&B songs, Grant and Rose Sombke, a 27-year-old Registered Nurse from Rockford, Illinois, had drama when Rose claimed that, after her performance, Grant told her that he was just watching her, according to Reality Steve. When Rose told the date’s winner, Carolina Quixano, a 28-year-old Public Relations Producer from Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, what Grant had allegedly told her, Grant confronted Rose and accused her of lying to try to ruin his connection with the other women. 

Beverly was sent home due to medical reasons

Beverly Ortega, a 30-year-old Insurance Salesperson from Howard Beach, New York, was sent home in Week 3 after she became very sick after her Week 2 Group Date and was sent to the hospital, according to Reality Steve. She wasn’t able to be medically cleared, so she was sent home. 

Rose self-eliminated

Rose Sombke, a 27-year-old Registered Nurse from Rockford, Illinois, self-eliminated in Week 4 of Grant’s Bachelor season two weeks after her drama with him, according to Reality Steve.

Grant’s Hometown Dates

Grant’s final four who received Hometown Dates on The Bachelor Season 29 were: Juliana Pasquarosa, Zoe McGrady, Litia Garr and Dina Lupancu, according to Reality Steve.

Juliana is from Newton, Massachusetts; Zoe is from Chester, Virginia, but now lives in New York, New York; Litia is from Soda Springs, Idaho, but now lives in Salt Lake City, Utah; and Dina is from Willowbrook, Illinois, but now lives in Chicago. Juliana had her Hometown Date on October 11, 2024, in Newton, where she and Grant went to the village of Nonantum. Zoe had her Hometown Date on October 13, 2024, in New York. Litia had her Hometown Date on October 15, 2024, in Wyoming. Dina had her Hometown Date on October 17, 2024, in Chicago, where they went to the Riverwalk. 

Dina, a 31-year-old Attorney from Willbrook, Illinois, was sent home in fourth place in at the rose ceremony after Hometown Dates.

Grant’s Fantasy Suite Dates

Grant’s final three who received Fantasy Suite Dates on The Bachelor Season 29 were: Juliana Pasquarosa, Zoe McGrady and Litia Garr, according to Reality Steve. Zoe, a 27-year-old Tech Engineer and Model from Chester, Virginia, was sent home in third place in the rose ceremony after Fantasy Suite Dates. Zoe is one of the Bachelor Nation contestants to not receive a One-on-One Date and make it to the final three.

Grant’s winner on The Bachelor Season 29

Juliana Pasquarosa, a 28-year-old Client Service Associate from Newton, Massachusetts, is the winner of The Bachelor Season 29, according to Reality Steve. Grant gave Juliana his final rose at the Final rose Ceremony in the finale in the Dominican Republic, which she accepted. Grant also proposed to Juliana and the two got engaged. Grant’s runner-up was Litia Garr, a 31-year-old Venture Capitalist from Soda Springs, Ohio. 

In an interview with Bustle in January 2025, Grant confirmed that he was ready to get engaged if he met the right person, but it wasn’t his top priority. “My mentality was that if the connection was there, I was going to propose,” he said. “I haven’t been in lots of relationships. I’ve been in one long-term relationship, and after that ended, I waited for a while to see anybody. So I was ready and went into [the show] intentionally, but I also wanted to make things fun. I didn’t go in with the pressure of getting engaged. If things flow, they flow, and if they don’t, they don’t.”

For Grant’s engagement, it’s almost certain the ring was designed by Neil Lane, a celebrity jeweler, who has created engagement rings for The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise since 2008. In a 2016 interview with Entertainment Weekly, former host Chris Harrison revealed that Bachelor Nation couples have to stay together for a certain amount of time, otherwise they have to return the free engagement ring to Neil Lane. “There’s some rule, after a certain number of years, you get to keep it anyway,” he said. “But after months… it goes back.”

Lane told StyleCaster in 2016 that he doesn’t know where the rings go, but that he designs them with the hope that the couple stays together. “I make rings hoping that people stay together forever, but after they get the ring, I don’t have a say in it, and what happens after that, I don’t know,” he said. “Where the ring goes, I have to say, I don’t really know. I just say it goes to ring heaven.”

TaskMaster New Zealand

It’s a spinoff of the British classic show Taskmaster, but we’ll argue that Taskmaster New Zealand is much funnier than the Brit version. Comedian guests gain points from the Taskmaster, Jeremy Wells, administered by his assistant, comedian Paul Williams. These kiwis surely know how to make a bizarre scenario into a fever dream.
