Get ready for a new chapter in The Bachelor! Grant, a 30-year-old from Houston, is searching for his happily ever after. With a captivating family and a longing for genuine connection, Grant embarks on his journey to find the one. The first night features a whirlwind of introductions, heartwarming moments, and intriguing connections. Will Grant find his spark among the diverse group of hopefuls?
What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man! Grant is our new 'Bachelor!' We start off by meeting the 30-year-old from Houston and learning about his life. He loves basketball, and drives a hot car, but says he's 30 now, he's got everything aligned to get married and start a family. First thing's first, Grant has a beautiful family! His sister Taylor is gorgeous, and so is his mom and grandmother.
He said his parents were married for 30 years, but then they got divorced while he was in college. His dad is recovering from a 30-year addiction. His father, Robert, is so proud of Grant and wants him to meet someone special. Grant loves his family but said his father's addiction, and his mom just putting her head down and working, left him with a lack of emotional connection. He wants a family that he can have dinner with every night. He said he's emotionally ready to take on the role of being a great father and husband. He cried as he said he didn't want to be lonely anymore. Ok, I'm a few minutes in and already crying! Go find your girl Grant! Gina: Oh, we are so back!! I'm super excited to see Grant find his person. When I met Grant a few weeks ago, he told me his family will play a big part in his journey and I can't wait to see how it all unfolds and how involved they are in this journey. Jesse Palmer was waiting outside the front of Bachelor Mansion as Grant pulled up. Grant told him he's looking for a kind soul who could be on the same wavelength as him. Grant did a little dance to shake out his nerves and with that, it was time for his journey to begin!1) Rose, 27, is a Registered Nurse from Chicago, IL she told him that he was tall and handsome. She asked him if she could be the first to say, will you accept this rose? Cute!2) Litia, 31, a venture capitalist from Utah gave Grant a hug as he complimented her hair and shoes. She noted that Grant was open and vulnerable so she decided to be vulnerable too by revealing that she is bad at basketball. If you bring the skill, I'll bring the sparkle she said as she handed him a bedazzled basketball. She was raised Mormon with her big family. She was born in Hawaii, that's where her parents got married and had her. Her father died in a car accident when she was just three months old. I'm guessing her mother remarried because she has a big family! Gina: I love that Grant said Sparkle and Skill would be their nicknames. There was an immediate connection, could she be one to watch? 3) J'Nae is 28 and an account supervisor from Colorado. She said her first love was basketball just like him, but she hopes she can be his last love. She gave him some chalk and they threw it in the air. Gina: I believe the chalk is a nod to Grant's favorite player and LA Lakers/NBA legend, LeBron James. 4) Parisa is 29 and a Pediatric Behavior Analyst from Michigan. She told Grant he seemed loving and kind. She wanted him to know that she's there for him. 5) Carolina 29 Public Relations Manager from Puerto Rico. She lived there until she was a teenager but then moved to the US for the opportunities. She loves her little dog. Her last boyfriend was a DJ and she realizes that was a dumb decision (no disrespect to the DJ's out there). She told him in Spanish that she would be his future wife. 'I have to invest in some Rosetta stone,' Grant said. Gina: I had to laugh when Grant said 'when all else fails, I say 'si!'' He's probably smart to pick up some other words and phrases! 6) Alli Jo, 30, is a boxing trainer from Manalapan, NJ. She pulled up beeping in a Jeep and she had a heart-shaped pizza and asked him if he would like a 'pizza her heart.' Grant loved it and ate a piece. Gina: Look, we all know NJ and NY pizza is supreme! And we know a way to a man's heart is through his stomach. So win/win for Alli Jo! I also think she's got a lot of personality. It'll be interesting to see whether it becomes endearing to the other girls or whether they'll turn on her for it. 7) Dina, 31, from Chicago told Grant that he would love Chicago too. Her parents lived in Romania until their 20's and then in the US they had 11 kids! She's a civil litigation defense attorney. She seems tough! She said she was always told she had beautiful hands and told Grant she's a size 6 ring, haha.8) Radhika, 28, is an attorney from New York City. She did a Bollywood dance up to Grant. She said that every moment together would be as fun as a Bollywood dance. 9) Allyshia 29, an interior designer from Tampa, gave Grant a genie in a bottle, and that they could make a wish together 'to be granted.'10) Natalie, 25, is a PhD student from Louisville, Kentucky. She gave Grant a worry stone.11) Beverly, 30, is an insurance salesperson, from Howard Beach, NY. She wore a beauty queen sash that said Mrs. Ellis. 12) Alexe, 27, is a pediatric speech therapist from Canada. She's French-Canadian and grew up on a farm. She brought Linda, her no-drama llama with her! The llama was so nervous and making all kinds of noise
