The Bachelor season 29 is absolutely flying by and there are only seven women left in the running for Grant Ellis' heart. The fourth episode of season 29's rose ceremony sent home two hopeful contestants while one of them chose to self-eliminate and remove herself from the show in a dramatic twist.
To see who's still in the running for Grant Ellis' final rose and find out why one contestant chose to remove herself from this season ofThe Bachelor, keep reading.
Why did Rose choose to leave The Bachelor?
During week 4 of season 29 of The Bachelor, Rose chose to leave the show and went home without being eliminated in the rose ceremony. This came after she was in some serious drama during the previous episode with Carolina in which Grant told Rose that he was thinking of her while dancing with another woman. Rose told Carolina about this and told the other woman that it was her Grant was dancing with and things got tense when Grant denied that he had said that at all.
In a confessional during week 4, Rose shared that she felt like the drama with Carolina was a "tipping point" in her struggle throughout the season. She said, "I’ve been fighting myself for a long time, like, fighting to stay and fighting through my own emotions. Everything that happened with Carolina invalidated so much about my relationship that was so good."
Rose said she felt like Carolina had "backstabbed" her by confronting Grant about the dance confession because she said that she didn't want it to get back to him. Of course, the fact that Carolina went and asked Grant if he was thinking about another woman while dancing with her wasn't a shock considering how many times Carolina has gotten upset this season about Grant having alone time with the other contestants, so it's unclear why Rose thought this would be any different.
Which women are still in the running for Grant Ellis' heart on The Bachelor?
1. Alexe
Alexe, 27, is a Canadian-born pediatric speech therapist and she was the winner of Grant's first impression rose after she brought a llama to meet Grant the first night in the mansion, so it's likely no surprise to fans that she's still in the competition.
2. Carolina
Despite getting emotional week after week about the fact that she has to share Grant Ellis with the other competitors, Carolina is still in the running for Grant's heart. Carolina, 28, works in public relations and is originally from Puerto Rico.
3. Dina
Dina, 31, is an attorney from Chicago and is one of the remaining women on season 29 of The Bachelor. One of 11 children, Dina knows how to handle being around other people and having to share with others. During week 4, she went on a one-on-one date with Grant Ellis that went pretty well.
4. Juliana
Despite the fact that Juliana has yet to get a one-on-one date with Grant Ellis, this 28 year-old client service associate is still in the running for Grant's heart. In the most recent episode of The Bachelor, Juliana confronted Carolina about the fact that Carolina was upset about the amount of time that Grant was spending with the other women when some, like Juliana herself, haven't gotten any real alone time with him.
5. Litia
Litia, 31, is a venture capitalist from Salt Lake City, Utah and she's one of the women still competing for Grant Ellis' heart on season 29 of The Bachelor. Litia made a splash with her first impression when she shared that, like Grant, she loves basketball and the two of them hit it off early with a one-on-one date to Vanderpump Dogs in the third episode.
6. Sarafiena
Sarafiena, 29, is an associate media director from the Big Apple who made a big impression the first episode of season 29 of The Bachelor when she brought a giant cut out of Grant Ellis' head to meet him. Since then, this New Yorker has made quite an impression on Grant throughout the group dates and has gotten a rose week after week.
7. Zoe
And last but not least is Zoe, 27, who is also from New York City and is a tech engineer/model. Zoe found herself in some major drama early on in this season of The Bachelor when she used her turn during their basketball group date to take Grant aside for a private moment, but her (literally) shooting her shot with him hasn't soured this contestant for Grant and she's still in the running for his heart.
