Grant Ellis has challenged the accuracy of The Bachelor season previews which have shown him saying he was still torn between picking Juliana Pasquarosa and Litia Garr as his final bachelorette shortly before his Final Rose Ceremony took place.
"I don't think it was hard for me to choose. I think the hard part was letting somebody down," Grant told Parade in an interview when asked about his difficult final-rose decision.
A preview that aired at the end of The Bachelor's Season 29 premiere showed Grant telling the cameras, "I did not know how hard this was going to be... I am so excited to get down on one knee and propose. I'm ready to be with somebody."
"But the problem is that I'm torn between two women," he continues. "I have a ring and I don't know who I'm going to give it to."
Grant proceeds to admit to his father in the clip, "I have to decide, and I only have an hour to do it. Both of them are amazing."
Grant calls his predicament "insane," explaining, "I'm going to have to make this decision on a time clock. I love both of these women, but I'm scared of making the wrong decision."
The preview then shows The Bachelor host Jesse Palmer telling Grant, "Both of the women are on their way here right now, and I really need to know which one to send first. Do you know what you want to do?"
"The truth is, I don't know," Grant concludes.
But Grant suggested to Parade that his anxiety and confusion leading up the Final Rose Ceremony was because he was dreading the idea of hurting his runner-up bachelorette.
"It was hard for me on Night 1 to send somebody home after I got to know them," Grant recalled.
"And it only gets harder throughout the season as it progresses and people's story gets involved. Their family gets involved, and their past gets involved, and you start to care for these ladies more and more."
