Grant Ellis’ journey as The Bachelor is winding down, but the drama is far from over. As the 31-year-old day trader headed to Secrets Tides Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, he found himself torn between three finalists—Juliana, Litia, and Zoe—during their Fantasy Suite dates.
From heartfelt confessions to tough decisions, the March 17 episode of The Bachelor delivered no shortage of standout moments. Here are the biggest highlights from the Fantasy Suites episode:
Juliana Opens Up About Past Heartbreak
Juliana kicked things off by seeking advice from The Bachelor alum Daisy Kent before her date. She and Grant went ATVing, where he shared that his grandmother, who was from the Dominican Republic, recently passed away. Later, Juliana admitted she struggled knowing Grant was still forming connections with others, referencing trust issues from a past relationship where she had been cheated on.
Grant reassured her, telling Juliana, “I am falling for you.” After accepting his invitation to the Fantasy Suite, Juliana described their overnight as a “12 out of 10 experience,” calling it exactly what they needed to deepen their connection.
Zoe and Grant Discuss Their Future
Zoe, feeling unsure about her connection with Grant, met with Rachel Nance from Joey Graziadei’s season before her date. She and Grant shared a silent yoga session, followed by a conversation about their childhoods and future family plans. Their timelines aligned, and Zoe accepted Grant’s invitation to the Fantasy Suite. The next day, she described the evening as “pivotal” in their relationship.
Litia Sets Boundaries
Litia sought guidance from Kaity Biggar before her date, specifically about Fantasy Suite expectations. After ziplining with Grant, she expressed her anxiety about his other relationships. Over dinner, Litia shared her desire to start a family within two years—a faster timeline than Grant initially envisioned.
Litia then told Grant she wasn’t comfortable having sex before the final decision. He respected her stance, affirming, “It’s what you are on the inside that I can see myself with you, I can see you as my wife because I do love you.” Litia spent the night with Grant and later said she felt happy and closer to him.
A Difficult Rose Ceremony
Grant admitted he second-guessed telling Litia he loved her so soon. “I also feel, maybe, you know, I should have waited a little longer,” he confessed. Struggling with feelings for more than one woman, Grant ultimately gave roses to Litia and Juliana, sending Zoe home.
Grant admitted he was still conflicted, telling cameras, “I’m torn between two amazing women, you know? And I don’t know who my future wife is going to be yet.”
The Bachelor finale airs Monday, March 24, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
