Grant Ellis’s season of The Bachelor premieres on Jan. 27. Ellis was a fan favorite on Jenn Tran’s season of The Bachelorette before she eliminated him from the competition during week 6. Now, he’ll date a host of beautiful women.

Apparently, Ellis’ contestants were so exceptional that he had difficulty picking “the one” when the time came. His indecision was highlighted in a recent promo for the upcoming season. Jesse Palmer recently revealed he had to coax a decision out of Ellis while filming the finale.

‘The Bachelor’ Season 29 teaser highlights Grant Ellis’ indecision 

Grant Ellis’ season of The Bachelor is set to premiere in just a few days. ABC released a teaser for the competition a month before the season premiere. That teaser showed off some of the beautiful locales Grant and his bachelorettes visited, along with several emotional moments from the season. It even included a bit of drama between the ladies vying for Grant’s attention. 

While the teaser felt pretty typical, one aspect seemed unique to Grant’s season. The promo highlighted how Grant entered the season finale feeling pretty indecisive and tense. He revealed he was afraid of making the wrong choice. Now, Jesse Palmer, the TV personality named the host of The Bachelor in 2021, is opening up about Grant’s indecisiveness.

Jesse Palmer opens up about how hard the call was for Grant Ellis 

While The Bachelor and The Bachelorette teasers are known for creating more drama with their edits, Jesse Palmer insists season 29’s teaser depicts what happened. The famed series’ host sat down for a chat with Us Weekly and opened up about Grant’s season. He even chatted a bit about the finale, which the teaser highlighted in a few snippets. 

Palmer said Grant Ellis did have a difficult time making a final call. He was so indecisive in the final moments that Palmer said he had to coax him along. Palmer explained that while he wouldn’t traditionally break the fourth wall, he felt it was the only way to get Ellis moving in one direction or another. Still, he sympathized with the New Jersey native, insisting he understood why he hadn’t entered the finale with the clarity of past contestants. Palmer didn’t reveal why the choice was so hard, opting to leave fans to solve that mystery when the season premieres.
