Zoe’s bold move, Carolina’s kiss, and four exits spark chaos in Grant Ellis’s rocky Bachelor journey.
Why did Zoe ignite tension on the group date?
Zoe, 27, stirred chaos by ditching basketball drills for solo time with Grant, irking rivals like Sarafiena: “I’m really turned off.”
Unfazed, the tech engineer shrugged, “You gotta do what you gotta do.” Her return sparked Juliana’s snark: “It’s disrespectful!” Yet Grant praised Zoe’s boldness, calling their bond mentally “on the same level.”
Who scored MVP—and a kiss?
Chloie, 27, nabbed Grant’s letterman jacket after leading Team Purple to victory. Bruised nails and war cries peppered the game, with Vicky declaring it “not basketball—war!”
Their post-win smooch sealed Chloie’s rising status: “A connection’s there,” Grant gushed. But drama brewed as Zoe lurked during others’ chats, snapping at Alli Jo, “I’ve done nothing to you!”
Why did Alexe’s mall date melt hearts?
First impression rose winner Alexe, 27, shut down LA’s Beverly Center with Grant for whimsical antics: riding robo-dogs, ice cream chaos, and wedding dress poses.
A piano serenade (“sweetest moment ever!”) climaxed with her revealing family estrangement. Grant soothed, “You’ll raise kids your way,” earning her rose—and a mall slow dance under fairy lights.
How did Carolina steal the stage—and scorn?
Mario’s songwriting challenge saw Carolina, 28, flaunt Spanish verses and a straddling makeout with Grant post-win. “Burned my eyeballs!” Dina groaned.
At the afterparty, Bailey confronted her: “Tough to see.” Unapologetic, Carolina shot back, “Feel happy for someone, frustrated for yourself,” while Grant assured her, “You did nothing wrong.”
Still, Litia snagged the date rose, stunning rivals.
Who got axed at the rose ceremony?
Four exits rocked the mansion: Ella, Rebekah, Vicky, and Allyshia. Tears flowed as Bailey panicked over vulnerability, while Grant vowed, “No rose doesn’t mean no feelings.”
Rose holders like Beverly bonded over shared childhood traumas, but fireworks loom. “My person’s here,” Grant declared—but with Zoe and Chloie rising, loyalty’s already brittle.
