The Bachelor 29: "That's Why I Won": Is Grant Ellis Rubbing His Happiness In The Faces Of His Ex-Girlfriends?

The Bachelor season 29 ended with Grant Ellis and Juliana Pasquarosa getting engaged, and now he appears to be taunting his ex-girlfriends with his newfound happiness. Grant, 31, is a day trader and former basketball player who was eliminated by Jenn Tran during The Bachelorette season 21. As a consolation prize, Grant was given another chance at finding love on national television.

Since getting engaged at the end of The Bachelor season 29, Grant and Juliana have had to deal with some controversy. With Grant's runner-up hurling unflattering accusations, Grant and Juliana have come together to present a united front. Grant's recent loving comments about Juliana seem like he's rubbing his happiness in his ex-girlfriends' faces.

Grant Proposed To Juliana During The Final Rose Ceremony

He Picked The Underdog

The Bachelor season 29 finale ended with Grant proposing to Juliana, who eagerly accepted his sparkling diamond ring. The result was a bit of a surprise because Juliana had struggled to let down her walls throughout the season. After being hurt in her last relationship, she resisted allowing herself to be vulnerable with Grant until the last minute. She didn't tell him that she loved him until after she met his family, but that was enough for Grant.

The Season's Big Controversy Explained

"It Was Going To Be Us"

Grant's runner-up, The Bachelor's Litia Garr, 31, walked in to that final rose ceremony with confidence. She seemed blindsided when Grant crushed her dreams. Later, when Litia sat down with Grant during The Bachelor season 29 finale, she told Jesse Palmer that Grant had misled her. “Grant and I had talked a lot about that day, and everything that he had ever said about it was that it was going to be us,” Litia said. She even claimed he said he wanted to end the season early because he knew it was her. Grant has since denied Litia's claims.
