Fans Criticize Grant Ellis' 'Bachelor' Season 29 for Low-Budget Dates

Fans of 'The Bachelor' are expressing disappointment over the perceived low quality of dates in Season 29, particularly those planned by Grant Ellis. Viewers felt that some dates, such as a helicopter ride to a Scottish castle followed by a Bridgerton-inspired dinner, lacked creativity and didn't do justice to the beautiful locations. The season has also been criticized for its pacing, with many fans surprised that Hometown dates are already approaching, suggesting that connections between Grant and the contestants seem underdeveloped. The elimination choices have stirred controversy, especially Grant's decision to send home popular contestants like Alexe and Sarafiena while keeping Zoe, who had not received a one-on-one date. Overall, the season has been characterized as rushed, leading to a lack of engagement from the audience. Many fans are questioning the authenticity of the relationships and the overall direction of the show.
