All The Bachelor Season 29 Eliminations For Grant Ellis
How every cast member went home this season.

Spoiler alert! This story contains spoilers The Bachelor Season 29. The series can be streamed in full with a Hulu subscription, but if you just want to know how it ended, keep reading or skip to the spoilers to see who won Grant’s season.
Grant Ellis’ journey to find love as The Bachelor has officially ended, as America watched him propose to Juliana Pasquarosa during a three-hour season finale. It was a long journey to go from the 25 women who exited the limos on Night 1, which premiered on the 2025 TV schedule in January, down to just one. A lot of hearts were broken along the way, and I kept track of every rose ceremony and elimination.
While there were no dramatic 2-on-1 dates, there was plenty of drama in Bachelor Mansion on Grant Ellis’ season. So whether you missed a week or just can’t remember what happened to a particular cast member, I’ve got you covered. Let’s take a look at the order everyone was sent home on The Bachelor Season 29:
Night 1 Rose Ceremony: Seven Fail To Make An Impression
The first night in Bachelor Mansion is historically brutal. These contestants have gone through the long audition process, packed their bags and prepared to be away from home for weeks, and then all of a sudden, it’s over before it even really started. As is typical, Grant Ellis’ first night — which included a no-drama llama, several kisses and a surprise appearance from his sister — seemed overwhelming for all involved, but when it was over, seven women failed to receive the all-important flower at the rose ceremony. Grant said goodbye to:
- Christina Smith
- J’Nae Squires Horton (Maybe Grant’s not a LeBron James fan?)
- Kelsey Curtis
- Kyleigh Henrich (She heard he liked to salsa, so she brought him chips and salsa.)
- Neicey Baxter
- Radhika Gupta
- Savannah Quinn (You know that connection's not there when you bring cake and still get sent home.)
It’s typical to see about a third of the contestants sent home on Night 1. Joey Graziadei eliminated 10 of his starting 32 in Season 28, and before him, Zach Shallcross sent 10 of 30 home. Grant Ellis started with fewer women and therefore didn’t have quite as many Night 1 goodbyes.
Week 2: Four Sent Home In Rose Ceremony
Typically in Week 2, there are still tons of women we don’t really know yet, so the rose ceremony eliminations don’t always pack an emotional punch. However, Grant Ellis surprised me on February 3 with a couple of his choices. In all, four women went home (pictured above, left to right):
- Allyshia Gupta
- Ella Del Rosario
- Rebekah Garrett
- Vicky Nyamuswa
Allyshia Gupta was actually the first person to kiss Grant on Night 1, so I wouldn’t have expected her to go so soon. Also, when the energy in the house was off during this episode, the Bachelor pulled Rebekah Garrett aside to get her take on what was going on. That made me think he valued her opinion, so I thought he might keep her around. Am I wrong, or did he also have a good time with Ella Del Rosario at the cocktail party? Sadly we also lost our Vegas girl Vicky Nyamuswa.

This season's rose ceremonies got tough quick!
Week 3: Beverly Ortega Exits Suddenly After Becoming ‘Very Sick’
Beverly Ortega was one of two women this week to get chosen for a one-on-one date, so it was especially surprising to hear before that happened that she’d gotten “very sick” and wouldn’t be returning to the house. Reality Steve provided slightly more context on his blog, saying:
Apparently, Beverly got very sick after the [Week 2] basketball date and was taken to the hospital. She eventually wasn’t able to be medically cleared to return back to the show so she went home this episode.
Beverly Ortega spoke out following her elimination to clarify that she was hospitalized for an emergency appendectomy, and rather than return to Bachelor Mansion following her surgery, she decided it was best to recover at home.
Week 3: Rose Ceremony Claims Three Victims
Drama between Carolina Quixano and Rose Sombke robbed some women of time with Grant Ellis during their prom with The Golden Bachelorette contestants, including Chloie Costello (above, left). I was sad to see the plus-size model go, but I love that The Bachelor finally gave us some body diversity. Thank you, Chloie, you will be missed!
Despite winning the group date and getting to spend her Grant bucks on one of The Bachelor’s T-shirts to sleep in, Bailey Brown (above, center) also failed to get a rose in Week 3. She and Alli Jo Hinkes — the third eliminated contestant — were fun but ultimately not Grant’s person.
Week 4: Rose Sombke Self-Eliminates After Carolina Did Her Dirty
Bachelor Nation finally got to see the promised moment from the previews, where Rose Sombke hisses, “You did me dirtyyyy.” Of course she was addressing Carolina Quixano, who was at the center of the drama for most of Season 29. What followed that ominous accusation was Rose telling Grant Ellis that she was going home. Grant agreed their relationship had stalled after he was accused of telling Rose he'd been thinking about her while dancing with Carolina.
Footage shown at the "Women Tell All" seemed to exonerate Grant, who did say he was thinking about Rose during all the dancing on the group date, but he didn't specify that it was when he was dancing with Carolina. Rose apologized for the misunderstanding.
Week 4: Two Eliminated At Rose Ceremony
Poor Parisa Shifteh (above left) had a rough week, waking up with a pimple and burning herself with her curling iron. Also, what was up with her spray tan? Even though she did her best to stay positive and turn things around, Grant added the cherry to her worst-week sundae by sending her home at the rose ceremony. We also lost Natalie Phillips (above right), who was fun to watch but didn’t seem to have much chemistry with the lead.
Week 5: The Carolina Show Is Finally Over
Someone remind me, does Carolina Quixano enjoy or not enjoy group dates? Once again, the 28-year-old PR producer (above, left) dominated Grant’s attention by pouting about the other women, but after her spat with Dina Lupancu, I did appreciate that she buried the hatchet with her friend at the cocktail party. The Bachelor, meanwhile was finally ready to put an end to the drama and did not hand Carolina a rose.
Unfortunately for Alexe Godin and Sarafiena Watkins (above, center and right, respectively), the situation involving Carolina probably did keep them from spending more time with Grant this week, and they also will not be introducing Grant to their families.
Hometowns Rose Ceremony: Did Dina Lupancu’s Family Doom Her?
Grant Ellis met a LOT of people when he visited his final four’s hometowns on March 3, but his trip to Chicago to see Dina Lupancu’s loved ones was a bit different, with her family opting out because they were not comfortable meeting a man who was still involved with other women. Grant still got to see Dina in her environment with her best friends, but not having the family’s support is a pretty big obstacle for Grant to face at this point. Whatever his reasons, Dina went right back to her hometown following the rose ceremony.
Fantasy Suites Rose Ceremony: 3 Women, 2 Roses, 1 Grant
Our Season 27 Bachelor had a solid plan for Fantasy Suites, and he definitely got the job done, as Grant Ellis said he is officially in love — possibly with two women. Unfortunately that meant this was the end of the line for Zoe McGrady. The elimination honestly didn’t come as a surprise to Bachelor Nation; in fact, fans were shocked Zoe made it this far.
Grant Stuns Litia In Finale Elimination: ‘The Switch-Up Is Crazy’
Grant Ellis seemed super conflicted going into proposal day, but Litia Garr was confident she was getting engaged. When Grant told her he wasn’t her person, she was visibly shocked, and she revealed afterward that he had basically been telling her she was it since their one-on-one date in Week 2. He even told her mom that! Brutal.
That means Juliana Pasquarosa was the last woman standing! After that tough breakup, we saw Grant get down on one knee, and they made their first official appearance as an engaged couple on “After the Final Rose.”
That brings Season 29 to a close! Thanks for hanging with me, and if you want to relive any of Grant Ellis' journey, you can stream The Bachelor on Hulu, one of the best streaming services to subscribe to.
