Alexe Godin’s shocking elimination from The Bachelor marked a low point in Grant Ellis’ dull season, but I’m convinced Alexe’s Bachelor Nation journey is far from over. Grant’s season has been underwhelming, with drama between the women taking center stage. Grant appears overwhelmed by the process, and he’s struggled to form genuine connections, even as the finale nears. I think he made a huge mistake by eliminating Alexe, but his loss may end up being her gain.
The Bachelor's Alexe Godin is a 28-year-old pediatric speech therapist from New Brunswick. She seemed like a solid choice for Grant early in the season, after receiving the first impression rose. However, Grant sent Alexe home in week 5, leaving him without a clear front-runner as the competition narrowed. I think Grant’s decision to eliminate Alexe proves he’s struggling to make up his mind under pressure. In fact, he allowed his best option to slip away.
Alexe Was An Early Favorite In Grant’s Season Of The Bachelor
She Received The First One-On-One Date
Alexe made a memorable impression during her Bachelor debut, bringing a “no-drama llama” along on night one. Her bubbly personality caught Grant’s eye, and she received the coveted first impression rose and first solo date of the season. Alexe and Grant enjoyed a night in the deserted Beverly Center shopping mall, and they both had so much fun. It was like they were the only two people in the world. Grant even took the opportunity to serenade Alexe with a ballad he made up on the spot.
While it’s true that having a strong start can be a setup for failure down the line, I was sure Alexe would remain the contestant to beat.
Grant and Alexe seemed truly at ease together, even at such an early point in the season. It felt like she set the bar high for the rest of the women. While it’s true that having a strong start can be a setup for failure down the line, I was sure Alexe would remain the contestant to beat. I’m not alone in my hope that she’ll return to the franchise, with Canadian Bachelor Fan writing on X, “Petition to make Alexe the next Bachelorette!”
Alexe Stayed Above The Season 29 Drama
Her “No-Drama” Personality Stood Out Among The Group
Alexe seems to have a very down-to-earth personality that would make her a solid but likable lead for The Bachelorette. While she was affected by the drama between the women at the mansion, she never got angry or wrapped up in their fighting. Even when Zoe McGrady copied Alexe’s unique approach to riding a mechanical bull—and subsequently won the competition—Alexe remained unfazed.
Alexe has an even-keeled disposition, but that doesn’t mean she’s a pushover. While Grant struggled to maintain control as the women fought over him, Alexe wasn’t afraid to speak her mind. She described herself as a “ball of energy,” which would be a welcome change after Grant’s season. As The Bachelorette, I believe Alexe would have a perfect mix of spunk and integrity that would rescue the franchise from its disastrous course.
Alexe Hinted At Her Future With The Franchise
Her Story Isn’t Over Yet
After Alexe’s departure from The Bachelor, she hinted that viewers may not have seen the last of her. Following her elimination, Alexe wrote on Instagram, “I feel there’s so much more to share about who I am, and I’m sure this isn’t the end of my story.” It certainly sounds like she’s open to continuing her journey with the franchise, and I would love to see her get another chance to find the man of her dreams.
As Alexe reflected on her brief romance with Grant, she wrote, “I was quirky, and he somehow found it endearing.” This tells me she isn’t afraid to be true to herself. Alexe is strong-willed and confident, which would be a breath of fresh air after Grant’s persistent indecision on The Bachelor season 29. Alexe would make a perfect Bachelorette, and her season could help end the franchise’s unlucky streak.
