Grant Ellis continues his search for Mrs. Right as the lead of “The Bachelor” on Monday.
Ellis, a 31-year-old day trader from New Jersey, competed on season 21 of “The Bachelorette” with lead Jenn Tran, who ultimately chose Devin Strader during the final rose ceremony. Now, he’s back on another quest for true love, becoming the second Black male lead in the franchise’s history.
Despite Ellis’ journey in finding love just recently beginning, fans already have theories about the winner.
Who will receive his final rose? Here’s what the internet is saying. Caution: spoilers and theories ahead!

Who does Grant Ellis pick on ‘The Bachelor’?
Steve Carbone, aka “Reality Steve,” is a well-known TV and Bachelor Nation blogger. He posted spoilers for Ellis’ “Bachelor” season, releasing the names of the final four contestants and winner.
Per an Oct. 12 post, Ellis took these four women on hometown dates this season:
-
Juliana Pasquarosa, a 28-year-old client service associate from Newton, Massachusetts.
-
Zoe McGrady, a 27-year-old tech engineer and model from New York City.
-
Litia Garr, a 31-year-old venture capitalist from Salt Lake City, Utah.
-
Dina Lupancu, a 31-year-old attorney from Chicago.
Carbone later posted on Oct. 21 that Pasquarosa, McGrady and Garr were the final three women going on overnight dates.
Then, in a Jan. 16 Instagram post, he reported McGrady was eliminated, leaving Garr and Pasquarosa as the final two contestants.
Juliana Pasquarosa ultimately received Ellis’ coveted final rose, per Carbone. The blogger said the couple is engaged.
How accurate is Reality Steve?
Carbone’s theories have been proven right – and wrong − in the past. He claimed in November 2023 that Joey Graziadei would get engaged to Daisy Kent during the last “Bachelor” season.
However, in a February 2024 Instagram post, the blogger said his sources were wrong and Graziadei was actually engaged to Kelsey Anderson ‒ whom the Bachelor did, in fact, propose to during the season finale.
Carbone accurately predicted Jenn Trann would pick 28-year-old Devin Strader during the recent season of “The Bachelorette.” He also correctly reported on Sept. 3 that Devin and Jenn had since broken up.
Carbone later correctly predicted Joan Vassos would choose 61-year-old Chock Chapple, an insurance executive from Wichita, Kansas, during the inaugural season of “The Golden Bachelorette.”
Who is Juliana Pasquarosa from ‘The Bachelor’?
According to her ABC bio, Pasquarosa is a “bubbly, outgoing woman who isn’t afraid to speak her mind and go after what her heart wants.” The 28-year-old comes from a large Italian family in Newton, Massachusetts, and hopes to find a romance like her parents have, as they were high school sweethearts.
The client service associate hopes to meet a man with a “good heart” and “strong ambition” who “loves to hang out with family.” Some of Pasquarosa’s favorite pastimes include dancing with friends, going to museums and sporting events, and watching movies.
She also wants to own a dog-friendly bar, was raised on Frank Sinatra’s music, and isn’t afraid of heights but adds she “has no interest in jumping off something high.”
When is ‘The Bachelor’ finale?
According to Cosmopolitan, the season 29 finale is scheduled for March 31, but neither the show nor ABC have confirmed that date.
