“I’m trying to fall in love, and the right woman’s going to knock me off my feet,” Grant Ellis says in a sneak peek clip of The Bachelor premiere, which airs tonight on ABC. The 31-year-old former Bachelorette contestant, who appeared in last year’s season with Jenn Tran, will kick off his search for love among a new group of 25 women — including a potential ex — during Season 29 of the hit reality dating franchise.
“Honestly, I didn’t have any hesitations,” Ellis told Rolling Stone ahead of tonight’s Bachelor premiere. “I had a brief conversation with my parents and they said, ‘It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,’ and I agreed, so I jumped on it.”
Later in his interview with Rolling Stone, Ellis also discussed the advice he received from former Bachelor star Joey Graziadei, how he got into day trading, and even shared that John Legend’s “All of Me” is his go-to karaoke song. (“That’s a good song,” the Bachelor star said. “I tell everybody, ‘Just have a couple of drinks and I sound a lot better.’”) Who will Ellis give a rose to this season? Here’s everything to know about watching tonight’s Bachelor premiere online without cable.
