The Bachelor host Jesse Palmer has insisted Grant Ellis was still genuinely undecided on the day of his Final Rose Ceremony.
"It's real," Jesse told Us Weekly when he was asked about a season preview scene which shows Grant meeting with Jesse on the day of his Final Rose Ceremony and explaining he still doesn't know which woman he was going to pick as his The Bachelor winner.
"And I don't know if you could tell from watching that [preview, but] from my reaction, I was surprised."
In the preview, which ABC first released in December 2024, Grant was shown meeting with Jesse on the day of his Final Rose Ceremony and explaining that he was still unsure of which The Bachelor bachelorette he was going to pick.
"I'm scared of making the wrong decision," Grant said in the preview.
Jesse then asked Grant, "Do you feel like you know what you want to do?"
And Grant replied, "The truth is, I don't know."
"Well, we've got both women," Jesse noted. "They're here on standby. And of course I have to know which one to send first."
Jesse told Us that his conversation with Grant on that last day of filming was a first for him as host of The Bachelor franchise.
"That was something that I haven't encountered yet as host in the last four years on any of the franchises," Jesse shared.
"Normally, I think, our leads have a little bit more clarity -- a lot more clarity -- heading into the final day. And I really think that's how conflicted Grant really was."
