Grant Ellis' season of The Bachelor only recently started, but the drama is already heating up.
Even though the latest Bachelor said that he doesn't want a girl who gets into too much drama and is looking for someone emotionally mature, two of the girls competing for his heart have started to butt heads -- and fans are calling one of them the season's villain only two episodes into season 29.
What happened between Alli Jo and Zoe on The Bachelor?
In the first episode of season 29 of The Bachelor, Alli Jo made a real name for herself immediately when she introduced herself with a pizza for Grant Ellis, proclaiming that her home state of New Jersey has the best pizza. While some fans thought that the quirky and creative introduction was relatable and fun, other people felt that she was trying too hard to stand out and felt like she was going to become the season's villain.
Even though it's too early to really name a villain yet on this season of The Bachelor, Alli Jo found herself in the spotlight again in the second season when she stood up for herself against Zoe.
During the first group date of the season, Grant Ellis decided to show off his passion for basketball and encouraged the women competing for his athletic heart this season to "shoot their shot" on the court. When it was Zoe's turn to take a shot, she decided to forego shooting a basket and asked if she could steal Grant away from the group date to go chat one-on-one.
Unsurprisingly, this didn't go over well with the other women who felt like it was wrong of Zoe to use the group date, which was supposed to be for all the women to get to know Grant as a group, as a chance to be alone with him. Unfortunately, although Grant seemed to enjoy his conversation with Zoe, it was Chloie who was named MVP of the basketball game and was rewarded with a kiss from Grant.
Later on in the episode, Alli Jo called out Zoe for her inappropriate use of the group date. While the consensus among the women was that Zoe was wrong for what she did, but Zoe defended herself by saying that she was just shooting her shot and doing what she had to do to get Grant's attention.
Even though it's still very early in the season, it seems like the season is setting up for Alli Jo and Zoe's outspoken personalities to clash more like they did during this episode.
Alli Jo immediately introduced herself as someone who was willing to get creative to stand out and it's clear Zoe doesn't mind making some enemies among the other girls in order to get Grant alone, so it'll be interesting to see how each of their respective bold personalities will play out as the season progresses.
Who was sent home during The Bachelor season 29 episode 2?
At the end of episode 2 of season 29 of The Bachelor, four women were sent home. Grant Ellis gave his first rose of the night to Juliana and his last rose of the night to Chloie. After giving out his roses, Grant Ellis sent home Allyshia, Ella, Rebekah, and Vicky.
