What Bachelor Season 29 First Impression Rose Twist Means For Grant Ellis

Grant Will Have To Choose Very Carefully

Since the first impression rose holds more weight now, Grant’ll have to be very careful about his decision.

Our Take On The Bachelor Season 29 First Impression Rose Twist

This Twist Could Hurt Grant’s Season

It’s unfortunate that theBachelorproducers didn’t learn from their mistakes with the twistsin the past two seasons. Before Zach Shallcross' season began, they had America vote for one contestant out of five to receive America’s first impression rose, which meant that the recipient would be safe during the first rose ceremony. Brianna Thorbourne won the rose, but she felt awkward because America chose her and not Zach. She eventually ended up self-eliminating from the competition.

In addition, before Joey Graziadei’s season, contestant Lea Cayanan received an envelope that she wasn’t allowed to open until premiere night. When she finally opened it, Lea discovered that it contained a card that gave her the opportunity to steal a one-on-one date from any woman up until Joey’s hometown dates. Lea didn’t want to hurt her fellow contestants and didn’t want to force Joey to go on a date with her if he’d chosen someone else, soshe burned the card in theBachelorMansion fireplace, thus ending the twist before it started.
