Things got personal between Grant Ellis and the women during the second episode of The Bachelor season 29. The episode included the first set of dates with the women, which allowed Grant to get to know many of his potential partners better. However, his growing relationships with the women also made it more difficult for him to say goodbye to some of them during the episode’s rose ceremony.
Life & Style breaks down the second episode of season 29, including who went on the dates, who Grant gave roses to and who he sent home.
1st One on One Date
The first date of the season was a group date with Beverly Ortega, Sarafiena Watkins, Alli Jo Hinkes, Natalie Phillips, Litia Garr, Vicky Nyamuswa, Chloie Costello, Zoe McGrad, Juliana Pasquarosa and Allyshia Gupta.
“It’s time to shoot your shot. Love, Grant,” the date card read, which led the girls to believe they’ll be playing basketball.
Due to the clear clue, the women weren’t surprised when Grant invited them to play basketball with young kids. While many of the women were insecure about their basketball skills, they were all excited to see him interaction with the kids.
Zoe made a bold move when she interrupted the group date to spend one on one time with Grant, which ruffled the feather of the other women.
Once Zoe and Grant returned to the group date, host Jesse Palmer revealed that the women would be divided into two teams to play a game of basketball against each other.
The purple team ultimately won the basketball game. Chloie was named the MVP and was given a letterman jacket from Grant, as well as one of one time with Grant during the second part of the date. However, it was Zoe that rubbed many of the other women the wrong way by being physical during the game.
When Grant and Chloie enjoyed their alone time, the women confronted Zoe about stealing Grant earlier in the date. While they argued that her actions were disrespectful, Zoe insisted that she did nothing wrong by stealing Grant away.
