For The Bachelor's 29th season, The Women Tell All special airs on Monday, March 10 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC, and Grant admitted during a recent episode of "The Viall Files" podcast that he was "interrogated" by his The Bachelor exes and he had to admit he's not perfect.

Grant will then be shown enjoying overnight Fantasy Suite dates with his Final 3 bachelorettes -- Juliana Pasquarosa, Litia Garr and Zoe McGrady -- on March 17.

But Grant could only choose one bachelorette in the end, and he'll have to face his brokenhearted runner-up bachelorette on After the Final Rose later this month.

"I'm not nervous [to talk to her]," Grant told the podcast's host Nick Viall.

"I think obviously I'm going to have to answer to some things, you know, which is normal, but I led with my heart and you can't go wrong as long as you're honest and as long as you put it all out there."

Grant therefore reiterated that he's "not nervous" to be reunited with his second-place bachelorette but he anticipates she's going to have some hurt feelings.

"I do [anticipate that]. I do think she'll be hurt," Grant admitted.

And Grant confirmed that he and this woman had no contact after filming wrapped on The Bachelor.

"The reason being was just out of respect for everybody. I just don't feel like it's -- I don't think it's the right thing," Grant explained.

"Things will be answered on that night."

When asked to reveal why he liked each of his Final 3 bachelorettes, Grant started with Zoe.

"People may question why Zoe made it that far or things of that nature, but listen, with Zoe, she grew up in the South and she is a strong Black woman. And the way she comes across on camera -- like maybe at times she's a little defensive... but every group date and every situation, she showed up and gave it her all," Grant shared.

"I dealt with that in the past where you get stigmas placed on you or things like that and you have to power through those, and so I really wanted to help her grow. I have empathy. I'm an empath and I saw that in Zoe."

Grant said he wanted to build Zoe up and saw a place for growth within her.

"I said, 'This person and I relate, and I can teach her or show her how to grow out of this situation,' when she had spent the majority of her childhood going through bullying. You can tell she needed some confidence instilled in her, and so I tried to be that person," Grant shared.

But Nick pointed out how Grant's chemistry with Juliana and Litia was obvious and seemed more natural.

"Yeah, they both bring unique sides out of me. I think with Jules, with Juliana, there was something I could relate to," Grant said.

(When Nick called Grant out for his corny nickname being a potential spoiler, The Bachelor star clarified that he called Juliana "Jules" and Litia "TiTi.")

"[Juliana and I] really related over the addiction and some of the trauma we went through and how we were going to build each other up and how we could understand each other," Grant explained.

"And Litia was really nurturing. She is an amazing woman, and she has so much to offer -- and I saw that. So both of them had different aspects, and that's why I had such a hard time going down to this final moment."

Grant revealed that he had a connection with his Final 2 bachelorettes right away, from Night 1, and that his final decision was very difficult.

"The Final 2, they were amazing, and I had connections with both of them. They were so different, and it just came down to what I was looking for in my life and who I could relate to the most," Grant said.

"There's also an extra pressure added onto being the second Black Bachelor ever. You think you have to make a decision based on what people would want or this or that, but you have to go with your heart, and I think I did that."

Grant added, "I just needed a little extra time to sit and really think things through, because I wanted this decision to be final... You don't get much time, but there was a lot of drama."

Grant noted it was "a really hard decision" but it was one he took extremely serious because this woman is going to be his wife.

"I really tried to approach it like that... [I had] to realy decide what my heart wants. I was between my head and my heart at one point, and I had feelings for both," Grant concluded.

Grant finally confirmed that he "was in love with both women."

"And yeah," he continued, "it was hard for me to hurt somebody -- on what should be the happiest day of your life -- and then [in terms of] what people want you to do, you have to take a step back and say, 'This is for me, and I'm going to go with who makes me the happiest.'"

And Grant verified that he is definitely "happy" with his outcome.
