>> Jesse: HOW YOU DOING? HI. HELLO. HI, GUYS.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
WOW. GOOD EVENING, "BACHELOR" NATION.
I'M JESSE PALMER, AND WE'RE COMING TO YOU LIVE FROM LOS
ANGELES IN A DRAMATIC THREE-HOUR SEASON FINALE OF "THE BACHELOR."
NOW TONIGHT IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS.
IT'S THE STUNNING CONCLUSION TO GRANT'S SEARCH FOR LOVE AS HE
PREPARES TO MAKE THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION OF HIS LIFE.
WE HAVE TWO INCREDIBLE WOMEN REMAINING AT THIS POINT, LITIA
AND JULIANA. SO WHO WILL GRANT PROPOSE TO?
AND WILL SHE SAY YES? OR WILL GRANT LEAVE THE
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC ALONE AND HEARTBROKEN?
NOW I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF SPECULATION ABOUT HOW GRANT'S
JOURNEY ENDS, AND YOU ARE GOING TO GET ALL OF YOUR ANSWERS
TONIGHT. I PROMISE YOU, BUT FOR NOW, I'M
JUST GOING TO SAY THIS. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BACHELOR
WHO HAS BEEN MORE TORN OVER THE TWO FINAL WOMEN AT THE END, AND
WHEN I MEAN THE END, I MEAN THE VERY END.
THIS IS GOING TO BE AN EMOTIONAL AND AN HISTORIC CONCLUSION THAT
YOU TRULY WILL NOT SEE COMING. SO GET YOUR TISSUES OUT NOW.
BUT BEFORE WE GET TO THAT, WE'VE GOT SEVERAL "BACHELOR" ALUMNI IN
THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT. IT'S GREAT TO SEE EVERYBODY.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
AND A FEW OF THEM ARE GOING TO BE JOINING ME LATER ON STAGE FOR
A VERY EYE-OPENING DISCUSSION THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WANT TO
MISS. ALSO, WHO'S READY FOR "BACHELOR
IN PARADISE"? THAT'S RIGHT. WE ARE OFFICIALLY HEADED BACK TO
THE BEACH FOR A SEASON OF "PARADISE" UNLIKE ANYTHING
YOU'VE EVER SEEN BEFORE, AND THEN LATER TONIGHT, WE'RE GOING
TO BE ANNOUNCING A "PARADISE" TWIST THAT WILL REALLY SHAKE
THINGS UP. SO BE SURE TO STICK AROUND FOR
THAT, BUT FIRST, IT'S NOW TIME TO HEAD BACK TO THE DOMINICAN
REPUBLIC WHERE LITIA AND JULIANA ARE SET TO MEET GRANT'S FAMILY.
WILL GRANT'S PARENTS RECEIVE THEM WITH OPEN ARMS OR IS THERE
TROUBLE ON THE HORIZON? LET'S FIND OUT.
THE LIVE "BACHELOR" FINALE STARTS RIGHT NOW.

>> HI.
>> HELLO. HOW ARE YOU?
>> GOOD. YOU LOOK SO CUTE.
>> YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
>> THANK YOU.
>> SO TODAY YOU'RE GOING TO MEET MY MOM, MY DAD, AND MY SISTER,
AND I KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO LOVE YOU.
>> OKAY. I'M READY.
>> LET'S DO IT.
>> OKAY.
>> THIS WEEK IS THE MOST IMPORTANT WEEK OF THIS WHOLE
JOURNEY. IT'S ALL ABOUT PERSPECTIVE AND
WHO I CAN SEE BEING MY WIFE, AND I PICTURE LITIA BEING MY WIFE.
LITIA IS LOVING, PATIENT, KIND. OBVIOUSLY SHE'S BEAUTIFUL, AND
SHE'S READY. I THINK MY FAMILY IS GOING TO
LOVE LITIA.
>> HELLO.
>> HEY, GUYS.
>> HEY, GUYS. HELLO.
>> I'M EXCITED. TODAY'S THE FIRST DAY IN ALMOST
A DECADE THAT WE'VE ALL BEEN TOGETHER SINCE MY PARENTS SPLIT.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
>> SO GOOD TO MEET YOU.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
>> AND TO HAVE AN OPINION FROM THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE ME THE MOST
IS IMPORTANT.
>> SO TELL US. GIVE US SOME OF THOSE MEMORABLE
MOMENTS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE CREATED TOGETHER.
>> WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO? WHAT KIND OF DATES DID YOU GO ON?
>> SO OUR FIRST DATE IN L.A. WAS WHEN WE MADE, LIKE, A BIG
CONNECTION, BUT THEN WE WENT TO MADRID WHICH IS BIG BECAUSE HE
PLAYED BASKETBALL IN SPAIN.
>> YEAH.
>> YES. SO YOU WENT TO SPAIN. OH MY GOSH.
>> YES.
>> MY MOST MEMORABLE TIME WAS THE CONVERSATION WE HAD AFTER
THAT DATE IN L.A. WHERE SHE REAFFIRMED TO ME THAT HER MORALS
REALLY AND WHERE SHE STANDS, AND WHEN WE WERE IN SCOTLAND, THAT'S
WHEN WE'VE HAD OUR FIRST TALK ABOUT FAITH AND WHAT THAT MEANT
TO US, AND I WAS, LIKE, OKAY. SHE DOESN'T LEAD WITH HER BEAUTY.
SHE'S SOMEBODY WHO'S A LOT DEEPER THAN THAT.
WE CONTINUED TO GROW AND HERE WE ARE TODAY.
>> SO YOU MAKE EACH OTHER HAPPY? M I MEAN, YOU FIND JOY BEING
AROUND ONE ANOTHER?
>> YES, YEAH.
>> THAT'S IMPORTANT.
>> YOU GUYS LOOK SO GOOD TOGETHER.
>> YOU GUYS ARE CUTE.
>> YOU BOTH HAVE DIMPLES.
>> I LIKED YOU SINCE DAY ONE.
>> I LIKED YOU.
>> SEEING HER AND HIM TOGETHER,
I JUST SENSE THE SYNERGY, AND I SEE THE JOY THAT HE HAS WITH
HER, BUT HE'S STILL, AGAIN, HE'S STILL TORN. OO
I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU, LITIA. IF HE IS TO BE EDNGAGED WITH THS
WOMAN, WHAT MAKES HIM FEEL SPECIAL TO YOU, AND DOES SHE
RECIPROCATE THAT LOVE? SOMEONE WHO LOVES HIM, SHOULD BE
ABLE TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS. WHAT MAKES YOU LOVE MY SON?
WHAT MADE THAT HAPPEN? WHAT IS IT.
>> SO I KNEW WHAT I LOVED GRANT
WHEN SAY HIM WITH MY FAMILY.
>> OKAY.
>> HE'S SO CONSCIENTIOUS OF EVERYONE'S NEEDS AND HE WANTS TO
TAKE CARE OF EVERYONE AROUND HIM.
>> THAT IS SO GRANT.
>> WHICH IS, LIKE, SUCH AN ADMIRABLE TRAIT AND THAT'S A
TRAIT THAT I WANT IN A PARTNER FOR MY KIDS, LIKE --
>> HE'S BEEN LIKE THAT SINCE HE WAS A LITTLE BOY. SO ALWAYS.
>> I BELIEVE THAT. IT'S IN HIM. YOU CAN TELL.
>> ALWAYS GREAT. SO WHEN YOU LEAVE THE
SURROUNDING OF "THE BACHELOR" --
>> YEP.
>> -- AND THIS HAS ALL FADED AWAY.
>> YEP.
>> WHAT WILL IT LOOK LIKE TO YOU BACK AT WORK, HAVING TO MAYBE
LOOK FOR A HOME OR HAVING KIDS AT SOME POINT?
>> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I WOULD NEVER EXPECT HIM TO MOVE
TO ME. SO I THINK IF WE KIND OF CAN
START IN A NEUTRAL PLACE WHERE IT'S NEW FOR BOTH OF US, AND WE
FIGURE IT OUT TOGETHER, YOU KNOW, MY FAMILY IS AMAZING AND I
LOVE THEM, BUT I WANT MY KIDS TO
LEARN FROM -- OUR KIDS. SORRY.
>> MOTHER TAKES CONTROL. IT'S FINE.
BUT I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
>> I WANT THEM TO LEARN FROM YOU.
>> THAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
>> AND FROM YOUR FAMILY.
>> THAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
>> YEAH. I JUST, YOU KNOW, YEAH.
>> YOU KNOW, GRANT, HE'S GONE THROUGH A LOT.
>> YEAH.
>> WE HAVE EXPERIENCED HARD TIMES WITH OUR FAMILY.
DAD HAVING THAT HISTORY OF DRUG ABUSE AND GRANT WAS STRUGGLING
TO FIND HIS HAPPINESS, AND SO I SAW THAT REAL DOWN, DARK PLACE
HE WAS IN. THIS HAS BEEN A JOY FOR ME.
>> I KNOW.
>> TO SEE HIM SO HAPPY.
>> I HAVE TO TELL YOU JUST WITH MY TIME WITH HIM, I JUST
UNDERSTOOD HOW HARD OF A TIME HE'S HAD.
IT'S BEEN LONELIER FOR HIM THAN I -- THAN I, LIKE, REALIZED.
>> JUST A MAJOR LONELY TIME.
>> YEAH.
>> BUT YOU KNOW HE LOVES YOU BECAUSE YOU GUYS HAVE
RECIPROCATED THAT TO ONE ANOTHER.
>> YEAH.
>>
>> I LIKE TO HEAR THAT. SO YOU'RE 1,000% SURE GRANT IS
THE MAN IF HE WERE TO ASK YOU TO MARRY HIM, YOU WOULD DEFINITELY
SAY YES. THERE'S NO DOUBTS AT ALL?
>> NO.
>> GRANT'S HAD A HARD PAST, BUT I THINK WITH LITIA, THEY'LL BE
ABLE TO GET THROUGH SOME HARD PLACES WHEN THEY GET THERE.
SO FOR ME, THAT WAS IMPORTANT. LITIA'S VERY HUMBLE, AND SHE'S
GENUINE, AND SHE LOVES GRANT. YOU CAN SEE IT.
SO I WOULD BE VERY HAPPY WITH LITIA. SHE WOULD MAKE A GREAT
DAUGHTER-IN-LAW.
>> HOW YOU FEELING TODAY?
>> I FEEL GOOD TODAY. HOW DO YOU FEEL?
>> I FEEL GOOD.
>> OKAY.
>> I FEEL GOOD. THIS IS A LOT.
>> IT IS.
>> THIS IS A LOT TO DEAL WITH. I KNOW IT'S HARD FOR HIM.
>> YEAH.
>> SO ME AND MY WIFE ARE DIVORCED.
WE HAD A GREAT RELATIONSHIP UNTIL IT TOOK ITS COURSE, AND I
DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN FOR HIM, YOU KNOW?
>> OF COURSE.
>> SO HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT?
>> I THINK THAT HE AND I BOTH WANT TO TAKE PIECES OF OUR
CHILDHOOD AND COMBINE THEM AND KIND OF HAVE OUR OWN WAY OF
DOING THINGS, AND I AM EXCITED TO SUPPORT HIM AND LET HIM KNOW
THAT HE IS OKAY, LIKE, HE'S ENOUGH, AND THAT HE FEELS LIKE
HIS CUP IS FULL.
>> ARE YOU ACTUALLY READY TO HAVE SOMEONE BE YOUR HUSBAND?
>> YEAH.
>> AT THIS POINT IN TIME?
>> YEAH. I'M 31, YOU KNOW, I HAVE MY
CAREER, AND I'M READY TO FIND MY PARTNER AND SETTLE DOWN AND HAVE
KIDS, YEAH. I JUST FEEL LIKE THE MOST
FULFILLING PART OF YOUR LIFE STARTS WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS.
>> SHE'S A VERY NICE GIRL. SHE HAS VALUES, AND THEY PUT ME
AT EASE. YOU SEEM VERY GENUINE, YOU KNOW?
FAMILY MEANS A LOT TO ME, AND I'M GLAD IT MEANS A LOT TO YOU.
YOU REASSURED ME.
>> GOOD.
>> IT WAS A PLEASURE TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH YOU.
>> YEAH, YOU TOO.
>> FOR SURE. FOR SURE. MY FAMILY WENT THROUGH A TIME
WHERE IT WAS KIND OF TURBULENT WITH US.
GRANT SAW WHAT I DID, BUT HE KNOWS BETTER, AND NOW HE HAS HIS
OWN FAMILY TO FORGE, AND LITIA, IF SHE GETS MARRIED TO MY SON,
SHE'S GOING TO FIGHT FOR HER MARRIAGE.
YOU SEEM LIKE YOU'RE HAPPY. DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
I LIKE HER FOR YOU. SHE SEEMS TO BE AN AMAZING YOUNG
LADY.
>> MM-HMM.
>> SHE KNOWS KIND OF, LIKE, YOUR STRUGGLE.
>> YEAH. SHE UNDERSTANDS.
>> YEAH.
SO THE BIGGEST THING WITH LITIA,
YOU KNOW, SHE'S 31, AND SHE WANTS KIDS, LIKE, SO SHE SAID,
YOU KNOW, SHE WANTS TO START TRYING WITHIN TWO YEARS, YOU
KNOW, AND MY WHOLE 20s, I PLAYED BASKETBALL, YOU KNOW, AND I
TRAVELED BY DIDN'T REALLY GET TO EXPERIENCE AND ENJOY MY LIFE.
THE NEXT THREE TO FOUR YEARS, I REALLY WANT TO EXPERIENCE LIFE
AND TRAVEL WITH MY PARTNER AND HAVE FUN.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? AND BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
RIGHT NOW, THAT'S OUR BIGGEST ISSUE I FEEL LIKE BECAUSE OF OUR
TIMELINE. SHE WANTS TO HAVE CHILDREN RIGHT
AWAY.
>> OKAY. SO EVERYBODY HAS DREAMS AND
HOPES AND THEY WANT A SCRIPTED LIFE, BUT WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE,
YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DO ALL THOSE THINGS.
AS LONG AS YOU'RE BOTH HAPPY, YOU'RE GOING TO NOT AGREE ON
EVERY SINGLE THING.
>> RIGHT.
>> BUT YOU'RE GOING TO BE OKAY. DON'T LET THAT PUT YOU IN A BOX
OF THIS IS THE WAY IT HAS TO BE FOR ME TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP.
>> RIGHT.
>> IF YOU LOVE THE PERSON, DON'T LET ONE LITTLE ISSUE STOP THE
SHOW.
>> YEAH. RIGHT.
>> DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
>> YEAH, THAT MAKES SENSE. HAVING MY DAD HERE HELPING ME
MAKE THIS DECISION IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME.
FOR HIM TO BE ABLE TO HELP POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION WITH
MY MOM, IT MEANS A LOT TO ME. IT'S ACTUALLY, LIKE, SOMETHING I
ALWAYS DREAMED ABOUT.
>> I THINK LITIA IS GREAT. SHE'S CARING, LOVES HER FAMILY,
LOVES GOD, BUT I DON'T WANT YOU TO BASE YOUR DECISION ON WHAT I
LIKE.
>> OBVIOUSLY I HAVE A REALLY TOUGH DECISION TO MAKE.
THE WEIGHT OF WHAT'S COMING THIS WEEK, IT'S -- IT'S A LOT, YOU
KNOW?
>> YOU NEED TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND YOUR HAPPINESS HAS TO
BE NUMBER ONE AS WELL.
>> I'M HAPPY WITH LITIA, ESPECIALLY AFTER TODAY.
>> I LOVE YOU, SON.
>> I LOVE YOU TOO, MOM.
>> I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.
>> LITIA MEETING MY FAMILY WAS REALLY AWESOME, AND I THINK THAT
MY PARENTS LOVED HER.
>> LITIA, IT WAS NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> SO GOOD TO MEET YOU.
>> WHAT PLEASURE.
>> OVERALL, TODAY WENT SO GREAT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I CAN GET
USED TO, YOU KNOW? LITIA BEING AROUND MY FAMILY.
>> BYE, LITIA. BYE. BYE, SON. SEE YOU LATER.
>> BYE. LITIA'S AN AMAZING, SPECIAL
WOMAN, AND MY FAMILY CAN SEE THAT.
>> I'M HAPPY FOR HIM.
>> SHE COULD BE THE ONE FOR GRANT.
>> YES.
>> AND THAT WAS ALL I COULD ASK FOR, AND IT MAKES ME FEEL
CONFIDENT IN THE LOVE THAT WE HAVE FOR EACH OTHER.
I DEFINITELY COULD SEE YOU BEING WITH MY FAMILY.
>> YOU CAN?
>> YEAH. I FEEL LIKE IT ONLY REAFFIRMS MY
FEELINGS THAT I DO LOVE YOU. I'M HAPPY TO BE WITH YOU, AND I
LOVE SEEING YOU SMILE. SO YEAH.
>> I LOVE YOU. I FEEL SO EXCITED WHEN I HEAR
YOU SAY IT, AND I DIDN'T REALLY
SAY THIS BEFORE, BUT, LIKE, I
HAVEN'T SAID IT BEFORE TO
SOMEONE THAT I LOVE THEM. SO I JUST KNOW WITH YOU, AND
YEAH. I JUST LOVE YOU. I'M JUST SO EXCITED TO SPEND
MORE TIME WITH YOU.
>> I'M EXCITED TOO.

WHICH ONLY FURTHER CEMENTED GRANT AND LITIA'S LOVE FOR EACH
OTHER. NOW IT'S JULIANA'S TURN TO MEET
GRANT'S FAMILY. WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF HER AND
HER CONNECTION WITH GRANT? LET'S WATCH.

>> WOW. GIULIANA IS GOING TO MEET MY
FAMILY TODAY, AND I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS.
>> HOW ARE YOU BEAUTIFUL?
>> GOOD, HOW ARE YOU?
>> I'M GOOD. I DO HAVE VERY STRONG FEELINGS
FOR HER, BUT THERE IS A SLIGHT FEAR IF SHE'S 100% READY TO BE
ENGAGED. YOU KNOW, I KNOW MY MOM IS GOING
TO ASK SOME TOUGH QUESTIONS. AND I JUST NEED TO SEE IF SHE'S
TRULY READY FOR LOVE. HOW YOU DOING?
>> GOOD.
>> I MISSED YOU.
>> I MISSED YOU TOO.
>> SO, ARE YOU NERVOUS AT ALL?
>> I AM, REALLY NERVOUS.
>> I'M NERVOUS. BUT I'M SURE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
AN AMAZING TIME.
>> YEAH, ME TOO.
>> ALL RIGHT. LET'S DO THIS.
>> LET'S GO. I AM PRETTY NERVOUS TODAY TO
MEET GRANT'S FAMILY BECAUSE ME AND GRANT HAVE NOT SAID I LOVE
YOU TO EACH OTHER. AND IT SCARES ME TO THINK THAT
I'M NOT GOING TO LET MYSELF GET THERE WITH HIM.
>> ARE YOU GUYS EXCITED?
>> COMPLETELY EXCITED.
>> HELLO.
>> HI, JULIANA!
>> BUT I'M HOPING THAT AFTER TODAY, YOU KNOW, SEEING HIM WITH
HIS PEOPLE AND SEEING, YOU KNOW, HOW I, KIND OF, FEEL BEING
AROUND THEM, THAT MAYBE WILL EASE MY MIND A LITTLE BIT.
>> I'M SO EXCITED.
>> ME TOO, ME TOO.
>> TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR FAMILY.
YOU HAVE A BIG ITALIAN FAMILY.
>> I DO.
>> DO THEY MAKE SAUCE ON SUNDAYS?
>> YEAH. I HAVE SOME AUNTS THAT DO AS
WELL.
>> I GREW UP IN CANARSIE, AN ITALIAN NEIGHBORHOOD IN BROOKLYN.
I CAN RELATE TO THE SUNDAYS ALL ABOUT FAMILY, AND YOU CAN'T
TOUCH THE POT UNTIL EVERYTHING IS FINISHED.
>> FAMILY IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
>> IT'S BIG. FAMILY IS BIG. HE TOLD US THAT WAS SPECIAL.
>> YEAH.
>> YOUR DAD IS SO COOL. WE LITERALLY JUST SAT DOWN OVER
A GLASS AND JUST HUNG OUT AND TALKED.
>> OH, WONDERFUL. SO, WHERE ELSE DID YOU GUYS GO?
WHERE ELSE DID YOU TRAVEL TO?
>> WE WERE IN SCOTLAND. AND WE TOOK A HELICOPTER TO A
BEAUTIFUL CASTLE.
>> AND THE BUTLER CAME AND WE TRIED ON SOME OUTFITS.
>> AND WE WALTZED A LITTLE BIT.
>> HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HE WALTZED? OKAY.
>> YEAH. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, WE ENDED THE
NIGHT WITH AN AMAZING CONVERSATION.
>> WE REALLY CONNECTED EMOTIONALLY AND WE HAVE VERY
SIMILAR, SIMILAR STORIES. I SHOWED HER MY TATTOO AND WHAT
IT MEANT. I WAS LIKE, I GOT THIS TATTOO
WHEN I WAS IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND I WAS FEELING
REALLY ALONE. AND THERE'S SOME AREAS OF MY
LIFE WHERE I FELT LIKE THAT. THAT'S WHERE IT RESONATED.
I REMEMBER WE STARTED CRYING OVER THAT.
THAT WAS THE MOMENT WHERE I FELT LIKE WE REALLY UNDERSTOOD EACH
OTHER.
>> JULIANA HAS THIS ENERGY, THIS VIBRANT, POSITIVE ENERGY, AND I
SENSE THAT SHE BRINGS PEACE TO HIS LIFE.
THAT'S IMPORTANT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE HE'S BEEN WALKING A
JOURNEY FOR A LONG TIME BY HIMSELF.
JULIANA, CAN WE TALK A MOMENT?
>> YES, ABSOLUTELY.
>> OKAY. LET'S GO. SO, I'M JUST EXCITED TO SEE WHAT
SHE HAS LEARNED MORE ABOUT HIM. I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS FOR HER.
JULIANA --
>> HELLO, HELLO.
>> SO NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> I'M SO EXCITED.
>> I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU. I DIDN'T EVEN SLEEP LAST NIGHT.
>> I'M NERVOUS.
>> I HAVE SOME HARD QUESTIONS.
>> YES, ABSOLUTELY.
>> I GUESS THE FIRST ONE WOULD BE, WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND IN GRANT
THAT YOU FELT LIKE YOU'VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH?
>> SO, I APPRECIATE THAT QUESTION A LOT BECAUSE IT'S
SOMETHING I THINK ABOUT A LOT. YOU KNOW, BEFORE COMING INTO
THIS, WHAT WAS HARD FOR ME IS SHOWING MY VULNERABLE SIDE
BECAUSE I WAS IN AN INSTANCE WHERE, YOU KNOW, I WAS HAVING A
HARD TIME WALKING AWAY FROM SOMEBODY THAT I LOVED, BUT IT
WASN'T -- IT WASN'T GOOD. THE LONELINESS SEEPS IN AND ALL
THE DOUBTS ABOUT YOURSELF KIND OF COME SWARMING.
AND, YOU KNOW, WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE THOSE DEEP CONVERSATIONS,
WHICH I REALLY APPRECIATED. AND, YOU KNOW, I FELT UNDERSTOOD.
>> SO, I'VE SEEN HIM DEPRESSED AND SAD AND LONELY.
BUT YET NOW THAT I'VE SEEN HIM WITH YOU, I HAVE SEEN, LIKE,
THIS HAPPY, FULFILLED YOUNG MAN WHO HAS FOUND HIS WAY AGAIN.
>> YEAH.
>> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF HE SHOULD OR WOULD WANT TO
ASK FOR YOUR HAND IN MARRIAGE OR AN ENGAGEMENT, DO YOU LOVE MY
SON?
>> OKAY. SO, GRANT AND I HAVE NOT TOLD
EACH OTHER WE LOVE EACH OTHER. I'VE BEEN KIND OF HOLDING BACK A
LITTLE BIT IN THAT SENSE JUST BECAUSE WHAT, YOU KNOW, THAT
MEANS.
>> SO, IF YOU'RE NOT THERE YET, HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU'LL EVER GET
THERE?
>> RIGHT. THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION, AND
IT'S ONE THAT DEFINITELY HAS BEEN ON MY HEAD.
BUT, YOU KNOW, AN ENGAGEMENT MEANS FOREVER TO ME.
LOVE MEANS FOREVER TO ME. AND HE IS TRULY SOMEBODY THAT I
CAN SEE MYSELF BEING IN LOVE WITH AND SPENDING, YOU KNOW, THE
REST OF ETERNITY WITH. SOME HESITANCY IS I JUST WANT TO
MAKE SURE I CAN GIVE -- I CAN GIVE HIM THAT.
I WANT TO TELL HER THAT, YOU KNOW, I WILL PROTECT YOUR SON,
AND I WILL MAKE SURE HE FEELS SAFE AND LOVED.
BUT I DON'T KNOW IF MY HEART, YOU KNOW, WOULD BE ABLE TO
HANDLE SAYING "I LOVE YOU" KNOWING THERE'S STILL A CHANCE
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ME.
>> HAVING SPOKEN TO JULIANA, I ASKED HER SOME HARD QUESTIONS.
WHY DOES SHE LOVE YOU, IF SHE LOVES YOU, HAS SHE TOLD YOU SHE
LOVES YOU. AND SO HER -- YOU KNOW, MAINLY
IT'S JUST THAT SHE'S NOT QUITE THERE YET.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BECAUSE SHE CAN'T GET THERE, IF IT'S ME,
OR IF THERE'S SOMEBODY ELSE INVOLVED THAT SHE DOESN'T FEEL
SAFE. I THINK IT'S NO FAULT TO HER.
YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S HARD TO SAY YOU LOVE SOMEBODY WHEN
THERE'S SOMEBODY ELSE IN THE PICTURE.
>> YOU HAVE TWO BEAUTIFUL WOMEN BEFORE YOU. I LOVE JULIANA.
I THINK SHE'S A SWEETHEART. SHE'S KIND, SHE'S COMPASSIONATE,
SHE'S A PROTECTOR, SHE'S A WARM, LOVING PERSON.
BUT AS YOUR MOM, THIS IS ABOUT YOU AND YOUR HEART AND YOUR HEAD.
SO, IF SHE DOESN'T TELL YOU SHE LOVES YOU, I AM ASKING YOU TO
WALK AWAY FROM THAT.
>> HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
>> I'M GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?
>> I'M GOOD.
>> GRANT, WHEN HE TALKED ABOUT YOU, I FELT HIS EXCITEMENT.
>> I'M SO GLAD TO HEAR THAT.
>> HE TOLD ME THAT YOU WERE A LITTLE BIT GUARDED AT FIRST BUT,
YOU KNOW, YOU STARTED TO TALK AND IT TOOK SOME TIME FOR YOU
AND HIM.
>> YEAH.
>> SO, JULIANA, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME ABOUT MY SON
THAT I CAN TELL YOU?
>> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT HE UNDERSTANDS THAT, YOU KNOW,
HE CAN HAVE HIS BAD DAYS AND HE CAN, YOU KNOW, NOT BE SO HAPPY
AND CHIPPER IF HE NEEDS TO, KIND OF, PUT MORE EFFORT INTO THAT.
YOU KNOW, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU THINK HE STRUGGLES WITH?
>> SO, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
>> OKAY.
>> SO, LIFE IS NOT ALWAYS HAPPY AND CHIPPER.
>> MM-HMM.
>> I'VE SEEN HIM HAVE BAD DAYS.
>> MM-HMM, OKAY.
>> AND I SEE -- AND I'VE BEEN THERE FOR HIM, AND I'VE TRIED TO
SAY, I'M HERE FOR YOU. YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S TOLD ME?
>> WHAT?
>> SO, I'M TELLING YOU ABOUT THIS.
>> YEAH.
>> I GOT THIS. I NEED MY SPACE.
>> YEAH.
>> I GAVE IT TO HIM.
>> YEAH.
>> MAYBE HE DIDN'T TRUST ME AT THAT TIME.
MY HOUSE WAS A LITTLE BIT FIERY.
SO, BOTH GRANT AND KELLY, THEY SAW THAT.
HE WANTS TO TRY TO BE -- AND HE'S GOING TO BE A BETTER
HUSBAND THAN I WAS. I WAS THERE, BUT SOMETIMES I
WASN'T.
>> OKAY.
>> HE FEELS SAFE AROUND YOU. HE TOLD ME THAT.
>> OKAY.
>> YOU MAKE HIM WANT TO OPEN UP.
>> GOOD.
>> SO, HE NEEDS THAT. YOU NEED THAT TOO.
>> YEAH.
>> YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO TALK TO YOUR PARTNER.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABOUT EVERYTHING.
>> MM-HMM.
>> JULIANA, SHE ASKED ME A KEY QUESTION ABOUT HIS FEELINGS, AND
I SAID, IF YOU CAN GET HIM TO SPEAK ABOUT HIS FEELINGS, YOU
ARE ALREADY ON THIRD BASE COMING HOME.
BUT WHETHER IT BE JULIANA OR LITIA, I'M GOING TO BE RIGHT
THERE. I HOPE HE CONFIDES IN ME, AND I
JUST WANT TO SUPPORT HIM. I JUST WANT TO BE HERE FOR HIM.
>> WHAT'S UP, DAD?
>> YOU. I JUST FINISHED TALKING TO
JULIANA. SHE ASKED ME A QUESTION. SHE SAID, HOW WOULD YOU REACT,
LIKE, IF YOU HAD, LIKE, A CHALLENGING SITUATION, WHEN YOU
WERE FEELING DOWN? I SAID, HE WANTS SOMEBODY TO
SHARE THAT WITH. SHE WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHAT
MAKES YOU TICK LIKE THAT.
>> SHE'S ALREADY STARTING TO CRACK THROUGH THAT.
>> YEAH.
>> I HOLD SO MUCH STUFF IN, I'M LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY I DON'T
HAVE TO DO THAT. I'M SO USED TO BEING LIKE, I'M
GOOD.
>> I KNOW, I KNOW.
>> SO, FOR ME TO HAVE THAT PERSON, WHICH I FEEL LIKE COULD
BE HER, BUT IT HAS TO -- THE LOVE HAS TO BE THERE FIRST.
>> YOU KNOW, ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT YOU SAFE WITH HER.
YOU HAVE TO FIGURE OUT THE REST.
>> YEAH.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I'M HERE FOR YOU.
>> TO HAVE JULIANA HERE, FOR YOU TO MEET HER, AS SOMEBODY WHO
COULD POTENTIALLY BE MY WIFE, IT MEANS A LOT.
IT MEANS A LOT TO ME, YOU KNOW? AND I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE
ABLE TO COME TO YOU. WE'RE TALKING NOW.
THERE'S NO -- THERE'S NO JUDGMENT.
I FEEL LIKE I HAVE A FRIEND, A BEST FRIEND I CAN TALK TO, AND I
DON'T HAVE TO HOLD THINGS IN. YOU KNOW?
>> SON, I'M SO -- I'M PROUD OF YOU, MAN.
MAN, YOU PUT UP WITH SOME STUFF.
>> IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.
>> YOU KNOW I GOT YOU.
>> MAN, YOU'VE BEEN THERE FOR ME. IT'S HARD, MAN.
IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU THAT I'M HERE.
IN SPITE OF MY MADNESS, YOU'RE STILL MY SON.
YOU STILL LOVE ME, YOU KNOW? I MADE SOME BAD DECISIONS, BUT
YOU TURNED OUT, YOU'RE A GEM. I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE THE MAN THAT YOU'VE
BECOME. I'M NOT LEAVING YOU NO MORE, YOU
KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I'M HERE UNTIL GOD TAKES ME.
I'M HERE. YOU DESERVE TO BE HAPPY, AND I
KNOW YOU WILL MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE.
AND WHOEVER FINDS YOU, THEY'RE THE LUCKIEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD.
GIVE ME SOME LOVE.
>> I'M GLAD THAT MY DAD IS ABLE TO BE A PART OF THIS AND FOR
THIS TO BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST DECISIONS OF MY LIFE AND FOR HIM
TO BE ABLE TO HELP POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION ALONGSIDE MY
MOTHER, I CAN ONLY BE GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> YOU KNOW, I'VE TAKEN A LOT FROM MY MOM AND I'VE TAKEN A LOT
FROM MY DAD. AND ULTIMATELY, I THINK THEY
HAVE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES. BUT IT FEELS GOOD THAT MY FAMILY
HAS MY BACK, AND REALLY THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
>> BYE BYE.
>> I CAME IN HERE SAYING I WAS GOING TO PUT MY HEART OUT THERE,
AND I FEEL LIKE EXPRESSING THIS TO JULIANA IS THE RIGHT WAY TO
DO IT. YOU KNOW, PUT MY FEELINGS OUT
THERE AND SEE WHERE THE PIECES FALL.
WE'VE HAD A CONNECTION THROUGH THIS WHOLE JOURNEY.
AND WHEN I AM WITH YOU, I GET BUTTERFLIES, I DO.
>> ME TOO.
>> YEAH, I THINK THAT NOT ONLY AM I SO ATTRACTED TO YOU, BUT I
HAVE FALLEN. I FEEL LIKE WE COULD BE LAYING
IN BED JUST TALKING TO EACH OTHER AND BEING SO OPEN AND
HONEST WITH EACH OTHER. AND I'VE BEEN WAITING TO TELL
YOU THAT I DO LOVE YOU, AND AFTER TODAY, I CAN FEEL THAT,
YOU KNOW? AND THERE'S NO PRESSURE ON YOU.
I JUST FEEL LIKE FOR ME TO SAY THAT TO YOU, TO LET YOU KNOW,
WHEN I SAY IT, I MEAN IT. YOU KNOW, I LOVE YOU.
AND I SEE A FUTURE HERE.
>> YOU KNOW, THIS IS SO EXCITING AND EXHILARATING, AND I FEEL
LIKE THIS, WITH YOU, IT'S ALSO OBVIOUSLY NERVE-RACKING BECAUSE
THERE'S SOMEBODY ELSE HERE. AND NOT TO THINK ABOUT THAT TOO
MUCH, BUT, YOU KNOW, FOR SO LONG I'VE DEBATED ON JUST, LIKE, WHAT
IT WOULD MEAN TO ACTUALLY KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU.
AND I THINK I'M FINALLY REALIZING, YOU KNOW, AFTER
MEETING YOUR FAMILY, IT'S NOT, LIKE, ONE IN PARTICULAR MOMENT
THAT I'M GOING TO -- JUST GOING TO HIT ME.
I THINK I KNOW I LOVE YOU TOO, AND I WANT IT TO BE YOU AND I AT
THE END OF THIS. I LOVE YOU TOO.
>> I'VE BEEN FEELING A WAY ABOUT JULIANA FOR A WHILE, YOU KNOW?
AND I WAS SCARED AND EMBARRASSED TO TELL JULIANA I LOVED HER.
AND HER SAYING IT BACK, IT MAKES ME FEEL SPECIAL.
>> YOU LOVE ME?
>> YES, I DO. I DO LOVE YOU.
I LITERALLY WAS WAITING -- LITERALLY MY HEART IS BEATING SO
FAST RIGHT NOW. WE ARE IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER.
AND IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I'M READY TO CONQUER EVERYTHING WITH
HER. SEE YOU SOON, OKAY?
>> OKAY.
>> BYE.
WATCHING HER LEAVE, IT WAS A SURREAL MOMENT FOR ME.
IF IT WAS AN EXCLUSIVE THING, I WOULD BE OVER THE MOON.
IN MY MIND, IT'S HEAVY BECAUSE, LIKE, I ALSO AM IN LOVE WITH
SOMEBODY ELSE. BUT NOW IT'S, LIKE, I HAVE A
CHOICE BETWEEN TWO WOMEN, AND I FEEL CONFUSED.
I'M TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT.
>> Jesse: THERE YOU HAVE IT. GRANT IS NOW OFFICIALLY IN LOVE
WITH BOTH LITIA AND JULIANA. ONE BACHELOR IN LOVE WITH TWO
WOMEN AT THE SAME TIME. I FEEL LIKE WE'VE SEEN THIS
MOVIE BEFORE. HAVEN'T WE? WELL, WHEN WE COME BACK, WE'RE
GOING TO HEAR FROM SOME PAST BACHELORS AND BACHELORETTES WHO
FACED A SIMILAR PREDICAMENT. HOW DID THEY HANDLE IT, AND WHAT
ADVICE DO THEY HAVE FOR GRANT. FIND OUT WHEN THE DRAMATIC LIVE
FINALE OF "THE BACHELOR" RETURNS. DON'T GO AWAY.

IT'S SO GREAT TO SEE THE THREE OF YOU.
I GET A TIDAL WAVE OF MEMORIES. CHARITY, YOU TOLD THE FINAL TWO
MEN ON YOUR JOURNEY, LOVED THEM -- AND VERY HAPPY ENGAGED
TO SCOTT.
>> YES, WE ARE.
>> TAKE US BACK TO FIJI. DID YOU EVER THINK IT WAS
POSSIBLE TO FEEL SUCH STRONG FEELINGS FOR TWO MEN AT THE SAME
TIME?
>> NO, I THINK OBVIOUSLY BEFORE COMING INTO THIS, YOU TELL
YOURSELF IT'S NOT POSSIBLE AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT COULD
HAPPEN. BUT UNLESS YOU LIVE THIS EXPERIENCE FROM START TO FINISH,
IT OBVIOUSLY IT HAPPENS AND IT HAPPENS TO SO MANY OF US.
AND I THINK, LIKE, FOR ME, LIKE, I OBVIOUSLY FELT THOSE FEELINGS.
BUT IT REALLY IS UP TO LEE TO DECIDE WHAT THAT LOVE LOOKS LIKE
AND HOW STRONG THAT LOVE LOOKS LIKE IN REAL LIFE.
I THINK THAT'S WHERE I WAS TORN. TOWARD THE END, YOU FACE DELIB
DECISION PARALYSIS. YOU ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
THERE ARE A LOT OF LIMITING FACTORS THAT AFFECT THAT.
BUT IT IS OBVIOUSLY POSSIBLE.
>> IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETIMES, MAYBE GIVING YOURSELF UP TO THE
PROCESS.
>> NO, NO. YOU HAVE TO SURRENDER, FOR SURE.
>> IT'S GREAT SEEING YOU. YOUR FIRST SEASON WAS MY FIRST
AS WELL. I ALWAYS LOOK BACK ON YOUR
SEASON WITH FOND MEMORIES. I'M ALSO NEVER GOING TO FORGET
HOW DRAMATIC THAT LAST WEEK IN ICELAND WAS WHEN YOU TOLD THE
FINAL THREE WOMEN, SUZIE, RACHEL, AND GABBY YOU LOVED THEM.
WHEN YOU THINK BACK TO THAT WEEK, WHAT STANDS OUT?
>> OH, I FOUGHT IT SO HARD, THE FEELINGS.
I DIDN'T WANT TO FIND MYSELF IN THAT POSITION BECAUSE I KNEW
THAT IF I DID, I WOULD -- IT WOULD BE A MESS. AND IT WAS.
BUT -- BUT ONCE I GAVE MYSELF PERMISSION TO REALLY LEAN INTO
THE EXPERIENCE, I REALIZED I HAD FALLEN IN LOVE WITH EACH OF THE
WOMEN FOR THEIR OWN UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS.
>> GERRY, IT'S GREAT SEEING YOU AS WELL.
YOU'RE GETTING MORE HANDSOME AS THE OLDER YOU GET.
YOU'RE AGING IN REVERSE. YOU ALSO TOLD THE LAST THREE
WOMEN ON YOUR JOURNEY THAT YOU LOVE THEM.
WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE POSITION GRANT IS IN RIGHT NOW, IS THERE
A PART OF YOU THAT CAN RELATE EMOTIONALLY?
>> ABSOLUTELY. YOU SEE THE BURDEN HE'S UNDER.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW HOW AND WHY THIS HAPPENS.
WHEN YOU'RE ON THE SHOW AND YOU STRIP YOURSELF OF
VULNERABILITIES AND THE BARRIERS ARE DOWN AND YOU'VE COMMITTED
YOURSELF TO FINDING YOUR PERSON, ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU LOOK AT
THIS WOMAN YOU FORMED A CONNECTION WITH, AND YOU HAVE
THAT FEELING. AND YOU BELIEVE THAT THAT WOMAN
THERE IS THE RIGHT PERSON. AND UNLESS YOU'VE BEEN IN THAT
SPOT, IT'S HARD TO DESCRIBE.
>> YEAH. LISTENING TO THE THREE OF YOU,
IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S A POSITION YOU NEVER ANTICIPATE BEING IN.
SO, CHARITY, I'LL ASK YOU. IF YOU COULD GIVE ANY ADVICE TO
GRANT MOVING FORWARD, WHAT WOULD YOU TELL HIM?
>> TRY NOT TO WAIT UNTIL 45 MINUTES BEFORE THE PROPOSAL.
I WILL SAY TO OBVIOUSLY TRUST YOUR GUT.
I THINK FOR ME, LIKE, MY BODY WAS TELLING ME ALL ALONG, LIKE,
WHO I SHOULD HAVE PICKED AND WHO I DID PICK.
I THINK TRUSTING THAT AND BELIEVING REALLY IN YOUR HEART,
YOU GET ADVICE OBVIOUSLY FROM FAMILY MEMBERS AND OBVIOUSLY THE
PEOPLE THAT ARE AROUND US THROUGHOUT THIS EXPERIENCE.
BUT ONLY REALLY YOU KNOW. BELIEVE IN THAT.
>> Jesse: THAT'S GREAT ADVICE. GERRY, GRANT IS JUST MOMENTS
AWAY FROM MAKING THE BIGGEST DECISION OF HIS LIFE.
HOW DOES HE CHOOSE?
>> I WOULD JUST SAY YOU MISS 100% OF THE SHOTS YOU DON'T TAKE.
SO, YOU TRUST YOUR FEELINGS. IT'S BAD THAT I THINK SOME OF US
DIDN'T DO A GREAT JOB OF. WE TRIED TO BE LOGICAL.
TRUST THAT FEELING. WHEN YOU GET THE FEELING, YOU'LL
KNOW. AND CHARITY JUST SAID IT TOO.
>> IT REALLY IS GREAT HEARING ALL YOUR INSIGHTS.
THERE'S ACTUALLY IS ONE OTHER PERSON IN OUR AUDIENCE TONIGHT
WHO LIVED IT A LITTLE BIT. AND SHE TOOK A COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT APPROACH TO THIS WHOLE THING.
OF COURSE I'M REFERENCING OUR AMAZING GOLDEN BACHELORETTE,
JOAN, IS WITH US TONIGHT. JOAN, YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY
INCREDIBLE. SO, I WANT TO ASK YOU BECAUSE
YOU REALLY MADE A COMMITMENT TO YOURSELF THAT YOU WERE ONLY
GOING TO TELL ONE PERSON ON THE ENTIRE JOURNEY AT THE VERY END
THAT YOU LOVED THEM. OF COURSE THAT ENDED UP BEING
YOUR VERY HANDSOME FIANCE SITTING BESIDE YOU.
WHY WAS THAT SO IMPORTANT TO YOU?
>> I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T HEAR THE QUESTION.
>> WHY DID YOU -- WHY WAS IT SO IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO TELL ONLY
ONE PERSON ON THE WHOLE JOURNEY? YOU REALLY COMMITTED YOURSELF?
>> I THINK IT'S HARD TO GO BACKWARDS, SO YOU HAVE TO BE
VERY CAREFUL WITH YOUR WORDS. AND I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS A LOT
BEFORE I ACTUALLY EVEN WENT ON THE SHOW AND THOUGHT, I DON'T
WANT TO DO THAT TO ANOTHER PERSON.
SO, EVEN IF I HAVE THE FEELINGS, I'M NOT SAYING IT TO ANYONE
UNTIL I AM STANDING IN FRONT OF THEM AND KNOW THAT THEY'RE THE
PERSON TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH.
>> AGAIN, I THINK THERE REALLY ONLY ARE A SELECT HANDFUL OF
PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WHO CAN EVEN POSSIBLY RELATE TO WHAT GRANT
MIGHT BE FEELING AT THIS MOMENT. IT REALLY MEANS A LOT TO US TO
HAVE ALL OF YOU HEAR SHARING YOUR INSIGHTS. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
LET'S HEAR IT FOR CHARITY, CLAYTON, GERRY, AND JOAN.
ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED
HERE TONIGHT, FOLKS. BUT BEFORE WE GO TO BREAK, I
WANT TO SHOUTOUT FAMILIAR FACES IN STUDIO WITH US.
WE'VE GOT BACHELOR NATION'S VERY OWN DEBBIE BURNETT WITH US.

BACHELOR" COMING TO YOU LIVE FROM LOS ANGELES.
BOTH LITIA AND JULIANA HAVE MET GRANT'S FAMILY AND BOTH
PROFESSED THEIR LOVE FOR HIM. NOW, WITH JUST ONE LAST DATE
LEFT WITH EACH WOMAN, WILL HE GET THE CLARITY HE'S LOOKING FOR?
LET'S WATCH.
♪
>> TODAY IS MY LAST DATE WITH GRANT BEFORE HE POTENTIALLY
PROPOSES TO ME. I'M STILL TRYING TO PROCESS
SEEING HIM AND HIS FAMILY AND HIM, OF COURSE, TELLING ME THAT
HE LOVES ME AND ME SAYING THAT I ALSO LOVE HIM.
IT FEELS GOOD WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT AND REALLY EXCITED AND HAPPY.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S, LIKE, MY STOMACH, LIKE, DROPS.
MY HEART, YOU KNOW, LIKE, STARTS RACING, AND MY MIND STARTS TO
KIND OF PANIC. I THINK THERE'S JUST THE FEAR OF
BEING HURT BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT I'VE EXPERIENCED IN
RELATIONSHIPS. SO, I'M EXCITED THAT GRANT SAID
IT. BUT, YOU KNOW, IT MAKES ME NERVOUS.
>> HOW ARE YOU, BEAUTIFUL? WHAT'S GOING ON?
YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
>> THANK YOU.
>> HOW DO YOU FEEL?
>> I FEEL GOOD.
>> HAPPY TO SEE YOU.
>> I'M EXCITED TO BE WITH YOU.
>> I HAVE SOMETHING PLANNED FOR TODAY.
>> OKAY.
>> SO, WE'RE GOING TO EXPLORE PUNTA CANA IN OUR NEW RIDE.
YOU READY?
>> I'M READY!
>> LET'S GO.
♪
>> SO, A TOAST TO HOW FAR WE'VE COME.
A TOAST TO US, AND A TOAST TO US HAVING A GOOD TIME. CHEERS?
>> CHEERS!
>> IN THE BEGINNING OF THIS JOURNEY, JULIANA AND I STARTED
OFF WITH REALLY JUST A PHYSICAL RELATIONSHIP.
YOU KNOW, WE WERE KISSING A LOT. IT WAS REALLY TOUCHY, FEELY.
AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE WERE GOING TO EMOTIONALLY CONNECT.
>> FROM -- TO THIS.
>> BUT OVER TIME WE FOUND OUT WE HAD A LOT MORE THAN THAT.
OUR EMOTIONAL CONNECTION HAS JUST CONTINUES TO GROW.
>> YESTERDAY WAS A BIG DAY FOR ME.
>> YEAH.
>> YOU KNOW, AND TELLING YOU HOW I FELT, YOU KNOW, I WAS A LITTLE
NERVOUS BECAUSE THERE WAS A CHANCE, JULIANA, I LOVE YOU,
WELL, I LIKE YOUR SHIRT. YOU KNOW, BUT WE BOTH OPENED UP.
>> YEAH.
>> AND I FEEL LIKE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT MEANS A LOT TO ME.
>> I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S MANY MEN OUT THERE IN TODAY'S
WORLD THAT ARE LIKE GRANT.
>> IT IS SO PRETTY HERE, HONESTLY.
>> HE SAID SOMETHING THAT STUCK WITH ME THIS WHOLE TIME.
HE WAS LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY THAT HE WANTS TO WATER BUT ALSO CAN
WATER HIM BECAUSE HE'S NOT JUST LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY TO, LIKE,
COMPLETE HIM. IT'S MORE SO HELPING EACH OTHER
GROW CONSTANTLY AND FOREVER. AND I'M EXCITED FOR THAT.
>> THREE, TWO, ONE, GO.
>> IN THIS MOMENT, KNOWING THAT WE LOVE EACH OTHER, THERE'S
NOWHERE ELSE I'D RATHER BE THAN BE HERE WITH JULIANA.
BUT IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO SEE HOW TONIGHT GOES.
>> WHEN YOU HAVE FEELINGS FOR SOMEBODY, YOU TEND TO GET A
LITTLE INSECURE. JULIANA HAS BEEN GUARDING HER
HEART BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN HURT IN THE PAST.
SHE'S HAD RELATIONSHIPS THAT HER TRUST WAS BESTRAYED.
SO, UNDERSTANDABLY, HER HEART IS A LOT MORE GUARDED.
>> HI.
>> HELLO.
>> SO, I NEED TO KNOW IF SHE'S READY FOR AN ENGAGEMENT, AND IF
I WERE TO GET ON ONE KNEE, IS SHE GOING TO SAY YES?
IS SHE GOING TO SAY NO? IS SHE GOING TO SAY, MAYBE, I'LL
THINK ABOUT IT? WILL SHE BREAK MY HEART IN THE
END?
>> HOW WAS YOUR DAY TODAY?
>> IT WAS GOOD. I HAD A LOT OF FUN WITH YOU AS
ALWAYS.
>> I HAD A LOT OF FUN WITH YOU, TOO, AS ALWAYS.
AND YOU'RE SPECIAL. AND I WANT TO MAKE YOU FEEL THAT
WAY. YOU KNOW, I CAME HERE WITH MY
HEART OPEN, AND I HAVE A FEAR OF GETTING MY HEART BROKEN, YOU
KNOW, BECAUSE IT'S HAPPENED BEFORE.
>> YEAH.
>> I DO WANT TO ASK, YOU KNOW, IF AN ENGAGEMENT COMING UP IN
TWO DAYS AND THUS, YOU KNOW, BEING TOGETHER, I WOULDN'T ASK
THIS QUESTION UNLESS I WAS COMPLETELY SERIOUS.
ARE YOU READY FOR AN ENGAGEMENT IN TWO DAYS?
WILL YOU BREAK MY HEART?
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW
FOR SURE YOU WILL DO OR WON'T DO?
>> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. WHAT I CAN AT LEAST PROMISE YOU
MOVING FORWARD IS THAT I WILL DO MY BEST TO HANDLE YOUR HEART
WITH CARE BECAUSE, AS I'VE SHARED, TOO, I KNOW THAT FEELING.
AND IT'S THE REASON THAT I'VE RESERVED MYSELF FROM BEING IN A
RELATIONSHIP. AND I THINK DIVING INTO THIS WAS
REALLY SCARY FOR ME AS WELL.
>> I THINK GRANT AND I HAVE BOTH BEEN HURT BY PEOPLE WE LOVED.
AND I'VE RESISTED LOVE FOR SO LONG FOR THESE EXACT REASONS.
I KNOW IT'S A HARD QUESTION TO ASK, BUT I KNOW THAT HE'S REALLY
TRYING TO SEEK ANY SORT OF REASSURANCE AT THIS POINT THAT
HE CAN GET. AND I THINK THE BEST WAY TO GO
ABOUT THAT IS JUST BE HONEST.
>> SO, I WILL SAY THAT I DIDN'T KNOW IF I WAS GOING TO BE ABLE
TO GET TO THIS POINT WITH YOU, AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT
READY REALLY WOULD LOOK LIKE OR
I THINK FEEL LIKE. AND THIS HAPPENED SO RAPIDLY.
BUT I THINK BEING ABLE TO ADMIT TO MYSELF AND YOU THAT I LOVE
YOU AND HAVE YOU TELL ME YOU LOVE ME WAS, I THINK, ALL THE
REASSURANCE THAT I NEEDED TO, YOU KNOW, FEEL REALLY PREPARED
TO ENTER AN ENGAGEMENT WITH YOU AND ONE DAY BE MARRIED TO YOU
AND BE YOUR WIFE. I THINK YOU'RE A VERY SPECIAL
TYPE OF MAN THAT, YOU KNOW, NOT MANY PEOPLE COME ACROSS IN THEIR
LIFETIME. AND I THINK FOREVER IS A BIG
COMMITMENT, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S ANYTHING THAT YOU AND I
COULDN'T HANDLE TOGETHER.
>> I THINK WE CAN HANDLE ANYTHING TOGETHER.
>> SO, ON MY END, HECK YEAH, I'M READY.
>> HEARING HER SAY THAT MEANS A LOT TO ME.
YOU KNOW, AT FIRST, SHE WAS KIND OF DENYING THE FACT THAT SHE WAS
IN LOVE, AND I UNDERSTAND WHERE THAT COMES FROM BECAUSE THIS IS
SO SCARY. IT'S A SCARY THING, YOU KNOW, TO
FALL IN LOVE WITH SOMEBODY THAT'S DATING OTHER PEOPLE, AND
IT'S SCARY TO PUT YOUR HEART OUT THERE.
BUT I THINK THE BEST THING THAT WE COULD HAVE DONE IS ADMIT OUR
FEELINGS TO EACH OTHER. THAT ALLOWS US TO BOTH FEEL SAFE.
>> I'LL SEE YOU SOON.
>> OKAY.
>> WITH GRANT, I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, I'VE COME SO FAR AND I'M
JUST EXCITED FOR, HOPEFULLY, FEELING REALLY GOOD THE DAY OF
PROPOSAL AND WALKING AWAY WITH MY MAN AND READY TO START LIFE
OUTSIDE OF HERE.
PART OF ME WONDERS WHAT HIS CONVERSATIONS WITH LITIA ARE AND
IF HE'S HAVING THE SAME AMAZING TIME THAT SHE'S HAVING WITH ME,
OR IF HE'S SAYING THE SAME THINGS TO LITIA.
>> BYE.
>> YOU KNOW, IT'S HIS DECISION, AND ONE OF US IS GOING TO HAVE A
LIFE SHATTERED DAY, AND THE OTHER IS GOING TO HAVE ONE OF
THE BEST DAYS OF THEIR LIFE THUS FAR.
I FEEL SHAKY KNOWING THAT HE MAY NOT CHOOSE ME.
IT WILL REALLY BE DEVASTATING.

>> Jesse: WELCOME BACK TO THE LIVE FINALE OF "THE BACHELOR."
NOW, BEFORE THE BREAK, JULIANA REASSURED GRANT THAT SHE IS, IN
FACT, READY TO BE ENGAGED. BUT THEN AS HE LEFT, SHE WAS
REMINDED OF THE STARK REALITY THAT HE COULD STILL CHOOSE
SOMEBODY ELSE. SO, HOW WILL GRANT'S FINAL DATE
WITH LITIA HELP SWAY HIS HEART?
LET'S FIND OUT.

>> YESTERDAY WAS MY LAST DATE WITH JULIANA BEFORE THE BIGGEST
DECISION IN MY LIFE THUS FAR. AND IT WENT REALLY WELL.
BUT TODAY IS MY LAST DATE WITH LITIA. AND I LOVE LITIA.
BUT I ALSO LOVE JULIANA. IT'S SO WEIRD TO HAVE TO FEEL
LIKE THIS. I'VE NEVER FELT LIKE THIS BEFORE.
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IF IT WAS POSSIBLE.
IF YOU WERE TO ASK ME BEFORE THIS SHOW, COULD YOU BE IN LOVE
WITH TWO PEOPLE, I WOULD SAY, NO.
>> HI, CUTIE.
>> HEY, BEAUTIFUL.
>> BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, I CAN ONLY CHOOSE ONE PERSON.
SO, TODAY IS ABOUT MAKING THE MOST OF EVERY MOMENT WITH LITIA.

THIS MIGHT BE MY LAST DATE
BEFORE GRANT PUTS A RING ON IT.

IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL, THE SETTING. I LOVE THE BEACH.
IT'S, LIKE, PERFECT FOR WHO I AM. AND I DON'T KNOW IF I TOLD YOU
THIS, BUT I FEEL LIKE WHEN I'M BY THE OCEAN IS, LIKE, WHEN I
FEEL CLOSEST TO MY DAD. AND HORSES, I FEEL CLOSE TO MY
CANDY, AND I LOVE YOU.

I DO LOVE LITIA VERY MUCH. SO, I THINK THAT TONIGHT IS JUST
A NIGHT TO ASK THOSE FINAL QUESTIONS TO SEE WHERE SHE
STANDS.

>> DON'T KEEP IT LIGHT FOR ME.
>> WE SPOKE ABOUT OUR TIMELINE, RIGHT?
AND I KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING BIG FOR YOU, AND I KNOW WE HAD THIS
CONVERSATION. BUT TO TALK MORE IN DEPTH ABOUT
IT IS IMPORTANT. LITIA, THE WOMAN SHE WANTS TO BE
AND WHEN. PEOPLE IN YOUR FAMILY HAVE
CHILDREN AND IT'S SUCH A BIG FAMILY.
HOW MUCH PRESSURE DO YOU FEEL TO ACCOMPLISH THAT?
>> I THINK THAT, LIKE, MY DESIRE TO BE A MOTHER COMES FROM MY
HEART. I THINK MY FAMILY KNOWS THAT.
AND SO THEY WANT IT FOR ME. BUT I DON'T FEEL PRESSURE FROM
THEM ON TIMELINE.
>> WHAT IF, IN TWO YEARS, I COME TO YOU AND SAY, LITIA, WHAT IF
I'M NOT READY YET? WHAT IF I WANT TO WAIT ANOTHER
YEAR? HOW DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD HANDLE THAT?
>> I THINK IT WOULD DEPEND ON YOUR REASONS.
IF YOUR REASONS WERE THERE'S STILL MORE THAT YOU WANT TO
ACCOMPLISH BEFORE YOU HAVE KIDS, I THINK YOU WANT TO BE A VERY
PRESENT FATHER. AND SO, I THINK IF YOU'RE NOT
READY AND THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO DO, I THINK, OF
COURSE, YOU KNOW. I WANT TO MAKE YOU HAPPY.

EXCITED AND READY AT THAT TIME.

HARD TIME, I FEEL THOSE THINGS.

CALM FOR MYSELF. BUT I JUST, LIKE, I KNOW HOW
MUCH FRUSTRATING IT MUST FEEL AND HOW HEAVY IT MUST BE FOR YOU.
I JUST WANT TO DO ANYTHING I CAN
TO, LIKE, SHARE THAT STRESS WITH YOU.

>> NO, NO, NO. MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE
ENOUGH. YOU ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN ENOUGH. AND I LOVE YOU.
>> I KIND OF STARTED TO SAY IT THE OTHER DAY, BUT, LIKE, I
HAVEN'T REALLY SAID I LOVE YOU
IN PAST RELATIONSHIPS.
AND IT'S BECAUSE, FOR WHATEVER REASON, I JUST HAVE, LIKE, THIS
FEAR THAT WHEN I SAY IT OR WHEN I EXPRESS IT OR FEEL IT, IT
MAKES IT MORE LIKELY THAT I WILL LOSE IT.
LIKE, THEY ARE NOT IN MY LIFE ANYMORE.
BUT, LIKE, I LOVED YOU WAY BEFORE I TOLD YOU.
AND I FELT MYSELF -- LIKE, I HAD TO STOP MYSELF FROM SAYING IT
BECAUSE YOU JUST, LIKE, MAKE ME FEEL SO SAFE.

OWN RELATIONSHIP WITH LOVE AND, LIKE, WITH HAVING A PARTNER.
AND IT'S GRANT. HE TAUGHT ME. HE'S CREATED SUCH A SPACE OF
SAFETY FOR ME TO LOVE SO OPENLY
AND JUST WITH NO OTHER MOTIVE EXCEPT FOR TO MAKE THE OTHER
PERSON HAPPY. THAT'S THE PART ABOUT GRANT'S
LOVE THAT MAKES ME KNOW I WANT TO MARRY HIM.
>> YOU KNOW, YOU ARE SPECIAL. AND OBVIOUSLY THE FIRST DAY I
MET YOU, I WAS VERY LIKE, WOW, THIS WOMAN IS STUNNING.
BUT I STARTED TO SEE YOUR HEART AND YOUR COMPASSION AND THE WAY
YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE AND THE WAY THAT YOU MADE ME FEEL.
YOU KNOW, YOUR HEART IS PROBABLY THE MOST SPECIAL THING ABOUT
YOU. SO -- AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY HARD TO FIND.
YOU KNOW, THESE ARE THINGS THAT SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO KNOW WHAT
YOU WANT OR WHAT YOU NEED UNTIL IT'S IN FRONT OF YOU.

>> Jesse: WELCOME BACK TO THE DRAMATIC LIVE FINALE OF "THE
BACHELOR." I'M JOINED NOW BY LITIA.
FIRST OFF, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE
WITH US TONIGHT. THAT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE
MORE EMOTIONAL GOOD-BYES WE'VE EVER SEEN, AND I KNOW YOU JUST
RELIVED IT AND WATCHED IT BACK BACKSTAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING AFTER WATCHING IT BACK?
>> I MEAN, IT DOESN'T MAKE MORE
SENSE NOW THAN IT DID TO ME THAT
DAY, BUT I THINK IT JUST REMINDS ME HOW SHOCKED I WAS AND HOW I
REALLY FELT LIKE I GOT THE RUG PULLED OUT FROM UNDER ME.
GRANT AND I HAD TALKED A LOT ABOUT THAT DAY AND EVERYTHING
THAT HE HAD EVER SAID ABOUT IT WAS THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE US.
WE WERE GETTING ENGAGED. FROM, YOU KNOW, THE FIRST
ONE-ON-ONE WE HAD IN L.A. UNTIL THE NIGHT BEFORE, THAT DAY.
YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER SAYING GOOD-BYE TO HIM AND SAYING, OH,
MY GOSH, WE'RE GETTING ENGAGED TOMORROW.
AND HE SAID, I KNOW, I CAN'T WAIT.
I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU.
AND THOSE WERE THE LAST WORDS THAT HE SAID TO ME BEFORE I
WALKED UP THERE. SO, IT WAS A SHOCK.
>> IT ALWAYS REALLY SEEMED LIKE YOU HAD SUCH STRONG FEELINGS FOR
GRANT. OF COURSE, I WAS THERE. I SAW THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE
TWO OF YOU. WHEN YOU LOOK BACK AT THIS WHOLE
THING, WERE YOU REALLY IN LOVE WITH GRANT?
>> YEAH. YEAH. I LOVED THE PARTS OF GRANT THAT
HE CHOSE TO SHOW ME. I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT HIM THAT
DAY. AND WATCHING IT BACK, I THINK
IT'S GIVEN ME A LOT OF CONTEXT. AND I THINK HE MADE THE RIGHT
CHOICE. I AGREE WITH HIS DECISION.
>> I WANT TO ACTUALLY ASK YOU ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WHEN YOU WERE
BREAKING UP, HE SAID TO YOU, I HOPE YOU DON'T VIEW ME ANY
DIFFERENTLY. AND YOU SAID, YOU'RE DIFFERENT
THAN I THOUGHT. HOW SO?
>> I MEAN, ON THE FIRST GROUP DATE, I OPENED UP TO GRANT AND
TOLD HIM ABOUT MY EXPERIENCES IN
DATING PAST AND TOLD HIM HOW INTENTIONAL I WAS BEING ABOUT
THIS JOURNEY SPECIFICALLY AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE, AND HE
EXPRESSED THAT HE WAS IN THE SAME POSITION, THAT HE WAS
LOOKING FOR THE SAME THINGS. AND WE TALKED ABOUT TIMELINE THE
NEXT DATE -- THE NEXT WEEK ON THE GROUP DATE.
SO, THAT WASN'T NEW INFORMATION. AND HE CONTINUED TO GIVE ME
REASSURANCES AND PROMISES ALL ALONG THE WAY EVERY WEEK.
AND HE DIDN'T CHOOSE TO RAISE THOSE SERIOUS QUESTIONS UNTIL
THE END. AND IT WAS NOT NEW INFORMATION.
>> IT JUST LOOKED LIKE YOU WERE TRYING TO PROCESS SO MANY
DIFFERENT EMOTIONS ON THAT FINAL DAY THERE.
I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY YOU'VE SEEN IT BACK NOW, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT
HE WAS STRUGGLING TO MAKE THAT FINAL DECISION ALL THE WAY UP TO
THE REALLY VERY END. DID YOU EVER EVEN HAVE THE SENSE
THAT HE WAS SO CONFLICTED?
>> NOT AT ALL. NO. FROM OUR FIRST ONE ON ONE IN
L.A., EVERY CONVERSATION THAT I HAD WITH GRANT, I MEAN, HE SAID
IT ON THAT DATE. IT WASN'T SHOWN, BUT HE SAID, I
KNOW IT'S YOU. I COULD STOP THE WHOLE SHOW
RIGHT NOW. I KNOW IT'S YOU. THAT'S HOW CONFIDENT I FEEL.
HE SAID IT TO MY MOM ON FACETIME.
AND THOSE WORDS HAVE MEANING TO ME.
AND I ASKED HIM -- I KNOW WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR.
THERE ARE SO MANY AMAZING WOMEN HERE.
AND IT'S OKAY, I'M NOT EXPECTING THOSE PROMISES RIGHT NOW.
AND I TRIED IN AN EFFORT TO PROTECT MY OWN FEELINGS, I ASKED
HIM, PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME PROMISES LIKE THAT IF YOU'RE
GOING TO CHANGE YOUR MIND. AND IT'S SO LIKELY THAT YOU'LL
CHANGE YOUR MIND, AT THAT POINT IN WEEK TWO.
AND EVERY WEEK, HE CONTINUED TO RAISE THE STAKES.
EVERY TIME I PUMPED THE BRAKES, HE PUSHED THE GAS.
AND IT WAS, LIKE, I NEED -- I FELT LIKE EVERY WEEK I NEEDED TO
CATCH UP TO WHERE HIS FEELINGS WERE. HE WAS ALWAYS THE FIRST TO
EXPRESS FEELINGS AND TO RAISE THE STAKES OF THE RELATIONSHIP.
>> I THINK WHAT'S REALLY HEARTBREAKING FOR A LOT OF
PEOPLE WATCHING THAT BACK IS THE FACT THAT I THINK WE ALL SAW
SOME OF THE EMOTIONAL MOMENTS YOU TWO HAD TOGETHER.
WE ALSO HEARD THOSE REALLY INTIMATE CONVERSATIONS YOU TWO
HAD, RIGHT? BECAUSE YOU REALLY, REALLY
OPENED UP TO EACH OTHER. SO, I IMAGINE IT HAD TO BE
REALLY DIFFICULT WHEN YOU HEARD GRANT SAY THAT HE HAD A STRONGER
EMOTIONAL CONNECTION WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
>> YEAH. IT WAS TOUGH TO HEAR THAT,
ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THAT WAS OUR THING.
I MEAN, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT IT SO MUCH.
OUR EMOTIONAL CONNECTION, LIKE, THE EMOTIONAL ASPECT, WAS OUR
STRONGEST POINT. AND HE HAD USED THE WORDS "YOU
ARE MY NUMBER ONE EMOTIONAL CONNECTION."
SO, THERE'S JUST -- THERE WASN'T A WAY FOR ME TO MISINTERPRET
THAT.
>> Jesse: THERE'S ONE THING I KNOW ABOUT YOU.
YOU HAVE AN AMAZING FAMILY. AND THEY LOVE YOU VERY MUCH.
AND WE'RE LUCKY TO HAVE YOUR PARENTS IN THE AUDIENCE HERE
WITH US TONIGHT.
HOW HAVE YOUR PARENTS SUPPORTED YOU SINCE YOU'VE BEEN HOME?
>> I MEAN, I WAS PRETTY SICK WHEN I GOT BACK.
WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT IT, BUT I HAD FOOD POISONING IN THE DR.
SO, I DID SOME EMOTIONAL RECOVERY AND SOME PHYSICAL
RECOVERY AT THEIR HOUSE FOR A FEW WEEKS.
THEY'RE EVERYTHING THAT THEY WERE ON MY HOMETOWN AND MORE.
>> Jesse: THAT'S SO IMPORTANT.
>> YEAH. SO LUCKY.
>> Jesse: SO LUCKY TO HAVE AN AMAZING FAMILY.
>> I'M SO LUCKY.
>> Jesse: IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE THAT SUPPORT UNIT, ESPECIALLY AT
A TIME LIKE THAT. I'M SO HAPPY YOU HAD THAT.
>> YEAH.
>> Jesse: LISTEN, I KNOW THERE ARE PROBABLY SOME THINGS YOU
WANT TO SAY TO GRANT. OF COURSE HE'S HERE TONIGHT.
HE IS COMING OUT HERE A LITTLE BIT LATER.
MY BIGGEST HOPE IS JUST THAT YOU'LL GET ANY ANSWERS TO ANY
QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY STILL HAVE FOR HIM, OKAY?
WHEN WE COME BACK, GRANT WILL SIT DOWN WITH LITIA FOR THE
FIRST TIME SINCE THEIR EMOTIONAL BREAKUP IN THE DOMINICAN
REPUBLIC. DON'T GO AWAY.
>> Jesse: WE'RE BACK NOW WITH THE LIVE "BACHELOR" FINALE.
OF COURSE I'M HERE WITH LITIA. YOU ALL JUST WITNESSED HER
EMOTIONAL BREAKUP WITH GRANT IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.
ALL RIGHT. GRANT'S BACKSTAGE. HE'S ABOUT TO COME OUT.
YOU DOING OKAY?
>> YEP.
>> Jesse: ALL RIGHT. LET'S BRING HIM OUT.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE WELCOME GRANT.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU. I KNOW THE TWO OF YOU HAVEN'T
SEEN EACH OTHER SINCE THAT DAY IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.
I'LL OPEN IT UP TO YOU. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY TO GRANT?
>> GRANT, I JUST WANT TO START BY SAYING THAT I DON'T THINK
YOU'RE A BAD GUY, AND I THINK YOU STARTED OUT WITH GREAT
INTENTIONS. AND YOU TALKED A LOT FROM THE
BEGINNING ABOUT HONESTY AND
MATURITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY AND THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT YOU FELT
FOR YOUR PARTNER'S FEELINGS, AND SPECIFICALLY THE 25 WOMEN THAT
STARTED THIS JOURNEY WITH YOU. AND YOU SAID A LOT OF THINGS TO
ME FROM THE BEGINNING, FROM OUR FIRST ONE ON ONE IN L.A. WHEN
YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO STOP THE WHOLE SHOW BECAUSE THAT'S HOW
SURE YOU WERE AND HOW CONFIDENT YOU WERE IN OUR CONNECTION.
YOU SAID IT TO MY MOM. AND YOU CONTINUED -- AND I ASKED
YOU THAT NIGHT, PLEASE DON'T MAKE PROMISES TO ME.
I KNOW WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR. AND IT'S REALLY GOING TO HURT ME
IN THE END IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND.
AND DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID?
MY MIND'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE. YOU WERE SCARED THAT IF YOU
DIDN'T TELL ME HOW YOU FELT THAT I WAS GOING TO LEAVE.
AND YOU COULDN'T STAND TO LOSE ME.
SO, EVERY WEEK, YOU CONTINUED TO RAISE THE STAKES.
AND YOU WENT OUT OF BOUNDS. IN MADRID, YOU GAVE ME A JOURNAL
TELLING ME TO WRITE ALL MY THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS SO WE
COULD READ THROUGH IT TOGETHER AT THE END.
YOU TOLD ME I WAS YOUR NUMBER ONE CONNECTION, THAT FROM THE
FIRST GROUP DATE YOU KNEW I WAS YOUR WIFE.
THOSE AREN'T THINGS THAT YOU SAY WHEN YOU'RE CONFLICTED.
AND I STILL KNEW THE FORMAT OF THIS WHOLE EQUATION AND THAT YOU
WERE PURSUING OTHER RELATIONSHIPS.
AND THAT WAS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. BUT YOU NEVER LET UP UP UNTIL
THE LAST NIGHT. IN OVERNIGHTS, YOU SAID A LOT.
AND UP UNTIL THE LAST NIGHT BEFORE PROPOSAL, WHEN I SAID,
OH, MY GOSH, WE'RE GETTING ENGAGED TOMORROW, AND YOU SAID,
I KNOW. I CAN'T WAIT. I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE
YOU. WHERE IS THE PROTECTION AND THE
HONESTY AND ACCOUNTABILITY AND THE MATURITY THAT YOU TALKED
ABOUT?
>> LISTEN, FIRST AND FOREMOST, AS A MAN, I HAVE TO ACCEPT
RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY ACTIONS. THAT'S FIRST AND FOREMOST.
I'M DEFINITELY NOT PERFECT. AND I THINK THAT EVERYBODY CAN
SEE OUR RELATIONSHIP ON SCREEN YOU KNOW?
I DID LOVE YOU VERY MUCH. I HAVE LOVE FOR YOU.
YOU TAUGHT ME A LOT AS A MAN. I THINK IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT
SITUATION THAT I'M IN. AND I JUST WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR
HURTING YOU, HURTING YOUR FEELINGS, AND HURTING THE PEOPLE
THAT LOVE YOU. SO, THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT
I'M TRULY SORRY, AND I HAD TO MAKE A DECISION THAT WAS BEST
FOR ME. AND IT CAME DOWN TO THE WIRE FOR
ME. AND I'M SORRY I HURT YOU, TRULY.
I HOPE YOU FEEL THE SINCERITY WHEN I SPEAK TO YOU.
AND I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT.
>> Jesse: GRANT, DO YOU REGRET TELLING LITIA THAT YOU LOVED HER?
>> NO, I DON'T. I WEAR MY HEART ON MY SLEEVE,
AND I LOVED YOU. I REALLY DID. YOU ARE AN AMAZING WOMAN, AND
YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO OFFER. AND I THINK THAT I DON'T REGRET
IT. YOU KNOW? I STAND ON WHAT I SAID.
BUT WHAT I DO REGRET IS THE MISTAKES THAT I MADE.
AND SPEAKING EARLY IN SITUATIONS WHEN I DIDN'T KNOW HOW
CONFLICTED I WOULD BE. AND I DIDN'T KNOW THE SEVERITY
OF THIS JOURNEY. IT'S A WHIRLWIND.
IT'S UP AND DOWN. AND IT'S VERY HARD, ESPECIALLY
WHEN YOU HAVE A WOMAN OF SUCH STATURE AND SOMEBODY THAT
CARRIES THEMSELVES LIKE YOU. I THINK I SPOKE TOO SOON IN A
LOT OF SITUATIONS, AND I WILL ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT.
>> YOU SPOKE TOO SOON, BUT YOU DIDN'T LET UP ALL THE WAY
THROUGH. YOU RAISED THE STAKES. YOU WENT OUT OF BOUNDS.
>> LISTEN I --
>> UP UNTIL THE LAST NIGHT.
>> I UNDERSTAND --
>> IT'S NOT JUST THE EARLY ASSURANCE THAT'S THE ISSUE.
IT'S THAT THERE WAS NO TRANSPARENCY THAT YOU WERE
CONFLICTED.
>> YEAH, AND I SAID, LIKE, IN THE SITUATION, IN THIS JOURNEY,
IT'S VERY HARD TO COMPARTMENTALIZE YOUR FEELINGS.
YOU'RE GOING ON ONE DATE AND YOU'RE MEETING FAMILIES, AND
IT'S AMAZING. AND THEN YOU'RE GOING ON -- AND
I'VE NEVER BEEN IN THIS SITUATION BEFORE.
>> RIGHT.
>> AND LIKE I SAID, I CAN ADMIT MY MISTAKES.
THAT'S ONE THING I'M ALWAYS GOING TO DO AS A MAN IS SAY WHEN
I'M WRONG. I WAS WRONG FOR THAT.
>> Jesse: LITIA, I WANT TO ASK YOU QUICKLY BEFORE WE MOVE ON.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD HAVE DONE QUICKLY?
>> NO. I DON'T REGRET OPENING UP.
I WAS MYSELF FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.
I WAS TRANSPARENT WITH YOU ABOUT EVERYTHING, INCLUDING MY
TIMELINE, WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT ON WEEK TWO THAT SEEMED TO BE A
BIG ISSUE AT THE END. BUT THAT WAS NEWS TO ME AS I
WATCHED IT BACK. AND I THINK THAT I'M EXCITED FOR
THIS TO BE THE LAST TIME THAT I TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS.
I'M GLAD THAT THIS WHOLE -- THAT LAST WEEK AND THAT LAST DAY
ISN'T A PART OF MY LOVE STORY. I KNOW THAT I DESERVE SOMEONE
WAKING UP ONE MORNING AND KNOWING WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A
DOUBT THAT THEY'RE GOING TO CHOOSE ME.
I THINK EVERY WOMAN DESERVES THAT.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> I AGREE.
>> AND I'M EXCITED TO FIND IT. AND I'M EXCITED TO FIND IT.
>> Jesse: I WANT TO THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING HERE, HAVING THIS
CONVERSATION, BEING SO OPEN AND SO HONEST.
I KNOW IT'S NOT AN EASY CONVERSATION TO HAVE, BUT IT'S
OBVIOUSLY BOTH STILL RESPECT EACH OTHER.
SO, THANK YOU SO MUCH. LET'S HEAR IT FOR LITIA AND
GRANT, EVERYBODY. OKAY.

BEHIND HIM. THE EMOTIONAL ENDING YOU DON'T
WANT TO MISS. DON'T GO AWAY.

UNBELIEVABLY EMOTIONAL NIGHT. EARLIER WE WATCHED GRANT AND

>> SAYING GOOD-BYE TO LITIA WAS TOUGH. IT WAS VERY HARD.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, AS WONDERFUL A WOMAN AS LITIA WAS
AND ALL THE TRAITS THAT SHE BROUGHT, SHE WASN'T MY PERSON.
AND I KNOW THAT IN MY HEART JULIANA MAKES ME HAPPY.
AND IT'S NOT ONLY HER BEAUTY. WHAT I SEE IN JULIANA IS A WOMAN
OF STRONG CHARACTER, A WOMAN THAT'S COMPASSIONATE AND CARING,
A WOMAN THAT WANTS LOVE. AND, YOU KNOW, I LOVE JULIANA
VERY MUCH, AND I SEE A FOREVER LOVE BETWEEN US.
AND THAT'S WHY I WANT TO BE WITH HER.

THE WHOLE JOURNEY HAS FELT A BIT LIKE A FEVER DREAM.
BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE LIVED SO MANY MONTHS JUST REALLY
RECONNECTING AND GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER.
AND I'M JUST SO EXCITED TO GET DINNER WITH THIS MAN AND HAVE A
GLASS OF WINE. FOR FREE.
>> EXACTLY.
>> Jesse: I THINK IT'S SO MUCH FUN FOR US TO SEE YOUR JOURNEY
ON THIS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE WAY. I THINK IT REALLY WAS
TRANSFORMATIVE. I REMEMBER YOU THE VERY FIRST
NIGHT. YOU WERE CHEERY. YOU WERE BUBBLEY.
BUT AS THE JOURNEY WENT ON, WE SAW LAYERS BEING PEELED BACK.
WE SAW A MORE VULNERABLE SIDE OF YOU.
WHAT WAS IT ABOUT THIS GUY THAT MADE YOU SAFE TO BE THAT WAY?
>> WELL, JESSE, I THINK SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT FOR ME IS HAVING CONFIDENCE IN WHO I AM.
AND I PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO MYSELF OVER THE YEARS, AND I'M
CONFIDENT WHO I AM AS A PERSON. AND I THINK JUST TELLING HIM
THAT IT MAY TAKE ME SOME TIME TO GET THERE, BUT HE GAVE ME GRACE.
AND IN THE SMALL CONVERSATIONS WE HAD BUILDING UP TO SCOTLAND,
I REALLY FOUND A SAFE SPACE IN YOU, GRANT.
AND IT JUST ALLOWED ME TO FEEL OKAY TO OPEN UP TO YOU AND LET
YOU SEE ALL THE SIDES OF ME.
>> Jesse: YOU HAVE TO TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH.
>> YEAH.
>> Jesse: AND IT REALLY PAID
OFF. GRANT, WHAT WAS IT ABOUT THIS
INCREDIBLE WOMAN THAT MADE THE DECISION EASY FOR YOU?
>> I CAN'T SAY EVERYTHING, SO I'LL BE SPECIFIC.
HER OUTLOOK ON LIFE AND HER CHARACTER AND HER DEMEANOR AND
HER RISING ABOVE SITUATIONS IN HER LIFE AND HOW SHE CARRIES
HERSELF. I THINK THAT SHE'S NEVER CHANGED
WHO SHE IS. AND SHE'S SOMEBODY WHO'S PROVEN
TO ME THAT SHE IS A SOLID FOUNDATION.
I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS IMPORTANT IN A RELATIONSHIP AND
A FRIENDSHIP. SO, THOSE ARE SOME OF THE
THINGS -- I COULD GO ON ALL DAY. BUT THOSE ARE SOME OF THE
THINGS.
>>.
>> Jesse: YOUR DAD TOLD YOU TO FOLLOW YOUR HEART. AND YOU DID.
JULIANA, SOME IN "BACHELOR" NATION HAVE YOUR THOUGHTS, HOW
LONG IT TOOK THIS GUY TO MAKE HIS FINAL DECISION.
HAVE YOU GIVEN HIM ENOUGH GRIEF ABOUT IT?
>> I DON'T THINK GRIEF IS THE RIGHT WORD.
I THINK I'VE GIVEN HIM GRACE BECAUSE HE IS THE TYPE OF MAN
WHO LEADS WITH HIS HEART. HE CAME INTO THIS OPEN MINDED.
AND HE LET HIMSELF EXPERIENCE WHAT YOU NEED TO EXPERIENCE WITH
ALL THE AMAZING WOMEN WE HAD. WE HAD SUCH A GOOD GROUP OF
GIRLS. I WANTED HIM TO FEEL SURE, AND
LIKE I SAID, I'M CONFIDENT IN WHO I AM AND I'M CONFIDENT IN
WHAT WE HAVE. IT'S UP TO HIM, BUT I THINK HE
MADE A GOOD DECISION.
>> Jesse: I THINK HE MADE AN OUTSTANDING DECISION.
I KNOW AS DIFFICULT AS THAT LAST DAY WAS, IT REALLY WAS AN
INCREDIBLE ENDING AS WELL. IN THE WEEKS LEADING UP TO
TONIGHT, THERE REALLY HAS BEEN A LOT OF SPECULATION ABOUT HOW
THIS WHOLE THING ENDED. THE QUESTIONS REALLY STARTED
POURING IN AFTER THE WOMEN TELL ALL, WHEN BACHELOR NATION
NOTICED A CERTAIN SHIFT IN GRANT'S DEMEANOR WHEN WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT THE FINALE. GRANT, HERE YOU ARE AFTER WE
SHOWED THE TEASE OF THE FINALE. AND THAT'S EITHER AN AMAZING
POKER FACE, OR YOU ATE SOMETHING REALLY FUNKY RIGHT BEFORE THE
SHOW. BUT THE MEMES STARTED ROLLING IN.
WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO SEE ALL THAT ONLINE CHATTER OUT THERE?
>> YOU KNOW -- GO AHEAD.
>> OKAY. YEAH. THIS -- THIS WHOLE PROCESS HAS
REALLY BEEN A GREAT REMINDER FOR ME THAT I HAVE AN AMAZING
SUPPORT SYSTEM. I HAVE FAMILY, AND I HAVE
FRIENDS WHO ARE FAMILY BY CHOICE. AND THOSE ARE THE OPINIONS THAT
MATTER TO ME, RIGHT? AND SO THE OUTSIDE NOISE IS
SOMETHING WHERE WE CAN SIT HERE TODAY KNOWING THIS DAY WAS
COMING AND KIND OF HAVE FUN WITH IT. THE TRUTH WAS COMING OUT.
I PLAYED PART IN THE ONLINE SPECULATION AND ADDED TO THAT
UNCERTAINTY. BUT YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE FUN WITH
IT BECAUSE LIFE IS JUST TOO SERIOUS TO TAKE SERIOUSLY.
>> Jesse: YOU BOTH HAVE INCREDIBLE POKER FACES.
I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY YOU BOTH HAD THE FINAL LAUGH IN THIS.
>> I DO HAVE A LOT OF BUDDIES.
>> Jesse: WE DO HAVE TO TAKE A BREAK.
BUT WE'LL HAVE MUCH MORE WITH THE HAPPY COUPLE WHEN WE COME
BACK. PLUS, WE'VE GOT SOME MAJOR --
AND I DO MEAN MAJOR -- "BACHELOR IN PARADISE" NEWS, INCLUDING A
SHOCKING NEW TWIST. WHAT IS IT? I'M GOING TO TELL YOU.
STAY WITH US.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jesse: WELCOME BACK TO "THE BACHELOR" FINALE.
WE'RE HERE LIVE WITH OUR NEWLY ENGAGED AND GLOWING COUPLE,
JULIANA AND GRANT. EVERYBODY IS JUST SO THRILLED
FOR THE TWO OF YOU, BUT NONE MORE SO THAN YOUR TWO AMAZING
FAMILIES. I KNOW THEY'RE SUCH A BIG PART
OF YOUR SUPPORT SYSTEM THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE JOURNEY.
WE'RE REALLY LUCKY TO HAVE BOTH OF YOUR FAMILIES IN THE AUDIENCE
TONIGHT, JULIANA, INCLUDING YOUR INCREDIBLE PARENTS, CARL AND
DONNA. CARL, I'D LOVE TO ASK YOU, YOU
AND YOUR FAMILY, YOU REALLY ACCEPTED GRANT WITH OPEN ARMS
WHEN HE CAME AND VISITED YOU ALL IN THE HOMETOWN IN NEWTON,
MASSACHUSETTS. AS A DAD, HOW DOES IT FEEL TO
SEE YOUR DAUGHTER SO HAPPY UP HERE?
>> THANK YOU. IT'S BEEN A BLAST.
SINCERELY FROM MY FAMILY, WE'RE THRILLED TO GET THE TWO FAMILIES
TOGETHER FINALLY.
>> YEAH.
>> AND I WOULD ALSO SAY IN TOTAL SINCERITY, I DO NOT HAVE A
PROBLEM ON MY HANDS NOW.
>> Jesse: VERY WELL SAID. I THINK SHE'S IN VERY, VERY GOOD
HANDS FOR SURE. HE HAD SUCH GREAT THINGS TO SAY
ABOUT YOU ONCE HE VISITED. IT IS GREAT SEEING ALL YOUR
FAMILIES HERE SUPPORTING YOU TWO. I THINK THERE WAS ONE PERSON
THAT MAYBE PULLED ON BACHELOR NATION'S COLLECTIVE HEART
STRINGS MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, AND GRANT, I'M TALKING ABOUT
YOUR FATHER ROBERT. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE WAS A DRY
EYE IN THERE LISTENING TO THAT CONVERSATION THAT YOU HAD WITH
HIM IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. SO, GRANT, WHAT DID IT MEAN TO
YOU TO HAVE YOUR DAD'S SUPPORT THROUGHOUT ALL THIS?
>> IT MEANT A LOT. YOU KNOW, TO HAVE MY DAD -- NOT
ONLY MY DAD, BUT MY FULL FAMILY THERE TO SUPPORT ME IS SOMETHING
THAT, YOU KNOW, IT CAN'T BE REPLACED.
AND I THINK THAT MY DAD'S BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH IN HIS LIFE.
AND HE'S A SURVIVOR. HE PERSEVERES, AND HE ALWAYS HAS
A POSITIVE MENTALITY. AND IT MEANT SO MUCH FOR HIM TO
COME BACK AND GIVE ADVICE THAT I NEEDED.
AND FOR MY FAMILY TO HELP ME ALONG THIS JOURNEY.
I LOVE YOU GUYS. THANK YOU.
>> Jesse: IT'S GREAT SEEING YOU. AND YOU SAID THAT GRANT WAS YOUR
HEART. SO, HOW DOES IT FEEL FOR YOU TO
SEE HIM SO HAPPY WITH THIS AMAZING WOMAN?
>> HOW COULD I NOT BE HAPPY FOR HIM AND HER?
LOOK AT THOSE TWO TOGETHER. THIS IS WHAT IT'S ABOUT.
I MEAN, THIS JOURNEY WAS SOMETHING ELSE.
I DON'T ENVY HIM. HOW HE ENDED UP WITH HIS PERSON
AND HE'S HAPPY, THAT'S ALL I WANTED FOR HIM IS TO BE HAPPY.
SO, KUDOS.
>> Jesse: SO WELL SAID. SO WELL SAID.
JULIANA, OBVIOUSLY UNBELIEVABLE JOURNEY AND UNBELIEVABLE NIGHT
AND UNBELIEVABLE ENDING. I THINK EVERYBODY NOW WANTS TO
KNOW, WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU TWO?
>> SHIPPING UP TO BOSTON.
>> Jesse: REALLY, GOING TO BOSTON?
>> YEAH.
>> Jesse: YOU GUYS ARE TAKING IT BACK TO THE EAST COAST.
THAT'S AMAZING. THAT'S GOING TO BE AN
UNBELIEVABLE NEXT CHAPTER IN YOUR LIVES TOGETHER.
BEFORE YOU GET TO THAT CHAPTER, WE COULDN'T LET YOU LEAVE HERE
EMPTY HANDED TONIGHT. LET'S GO BACK FOR A SECOND.
JULIANA, WHEN YOU MET GRANT, YOU WERE HOLDING A CANOLI.
AND GRANT, WHEN YOU MET JULIANA'S FAMILY, YOU HAD A
STACK OF PIZZAS. I THINK BACHELOR NATION WAS A
LITTLE BIT LESS IMPRESSED BY YOUR PIZZA MAKING SKILLS,
INCLUDING MYSELF. YOU CAN'T TREAT PIZZA DOUGH LIKE
THAT. WE GOT TO THINKING, WHAT BETTER
PLACE TO GO TO REALLY LEARN THE TRUE ART OF PIZZA THAN ITS BIRTH
PLACE.
>> STOP.
>> Jesse: THAT'S RIGHT --
>> SHUT UP!
>> Jesse: JULIANA, GRANT, WE'RE SEN
SENDING YOU TO ITALY!
>> WOW.
>> Jesse: GRANT, HAVE YOU EVER BEEN BEFORE?
>> NO.
>> Jesse: JULIANA, HAVE YOU BEEN?
>> OF COURSE.
>> Jesse: YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SHOW HIM THE ROPES.
EAT ALL THE CANOLIS, EAT ALL THE PIZZAS, DRINK ALL YOUR HEARTS
DESIRE. LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR ONE MORE
TIME FOR OUR NEWLY ENGAGED COUPLE, GRANT AND JULIANA.
WE ARE NOT DONE YET. COMING UP, WE'VE GOT A MASSIVE
"BACHELOR IN PARADISE" UPDATE THAT IS GOING TO LEAVE YOU
SPEECHLESS. YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS?
THINK AGAIN. THAT'S NEXT.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Jesse: WELCOME BACK BACHELOR NATION.
IT HAS BEEN UHAN UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT ALREADY. TRUST ME.
IT'S ABOUT TO GET EVEN BETTER. I'M VERY HAPPY TO BE JOINED BY A
VERY SPECIAL GUEST. PLEASE GIVE IT UP FOR ZOE.
WELL, IT'S REALLY GREAT SEEING YOU AGAIN.
I KNOW IT'S BEEN A MINUTE. I WANT TO GIVE YOU AN
OPPORTUNITY TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY THIS SEASON
AS WELL. I KNOW THERE WERE A LOT OF UPS
AND DOWNS, OBVIOUSLY, AND YOU EXPERIENCED A FULL ARRAY OF
EMOTIONS THROUGHOUT. I KNOW YOU DIDN'T FIND WHAT YOU
WERE LOOKING FOR AT THE VERY END. BUT WHEN YOU THINK BACK TO THIS
EXPERIENCE, WHAT DO YOU TAKE AWAY FROM IT?
>> YEAH. I THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY I DID
NOT HAVE A TYPICAL JOURNEY. AND MAYBE A LOT OF IT WASN'T
SEEN. BUT I AM GRATEFUL. I WAS REMINDED OF WHO THE HECK I
AM ON THIS JOURNEY. I'M A STRONG, COMPETITIVE WOMAN.
I AM AWKWARD AT TIMES. BUT I ALSO AM VERY STRONG.
AND I THINK THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, I KIND OF REMINDED
MYSELF OF THAT. AND I REMAINED POSITIVE AND
OPTIMISTIC. TO MAKE IT THROUGH TO THE VERY
END AND SEE THE PROCESS THROUGH, I'M VERY PROUD OF MYSELF FOR
THAT. I KNOW IT'S SOMETHING A YOUNGER
ME PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE DONE. AND I KNOW MY PERSON IS OUT
THERE, SO IT JUST, KIND OF, EXCITES ME FOR THE FUTURE.
>> I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THAT TOO.
YOU WERE VERY TRUE TO YOURSELF THROUGHOUT THIS, NO DOUBT ABOUT
IT. AFTER DATING GRANT, WHAT DO YOU
THINK IT HELPED YOU LEARN ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IN A
FUTURE HUSBAND?
>> WELL, HOPEFULLY NOT WAITING FOR A ONE-ON-ONE BEFORE MEETING
THE FAMILY. BUT I JUST REALLY WANT A MAN WHO
SEES MY VALUE FROM THE JUMP. I THINK I HAVE A LOT TO OFFER
AND A LOT OF LOVE TO GIVE. AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK BEING ON
THIS SORT OF JOURNEY, I FELT I CONSTANTLY HAD TO PROVE MYSELF.
AND I KNOW THE RIGHT PERSON WITH SEE THAT FROM THE JUMP.
AS I SAID, THERE'S A YOUNGER VERSION OF ME THAT'S JUST
LOOKING TO BE LOVED. BUT I'M A GROWN WOMAN WHO HAS SO
MUCH LOVE TO GIVE AND WANTS TO BE SUCH A GREAT PARTNER TO MY
PERSON. AND YOU GET A RING ON MY FINGER.
I'M READY FOR LOVE AND I'M EXCITED FOR THAT.
>> Jesse: AND YOU'RE VERY, VERY DESERVED OF LOVE.
I'M REALLY HAPPY TO HEAR YOU'RE DOING SO WELL.
IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY. AS YOU KNOW, "BACHELOR IN
PARADISE" IS COMING BACK THIS SUMMER.
AND LIKE ALL OF YOU, I AM JUST COUNTING DOWN THE SECONDS TO GET
BACK ON THAT BEACH. AND HERE'S THE THING.
I KNOW YOU OBVIOUSLY WENT THROUGH A LOT THIS SEASON.
AND I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT YOU DESERVE ANOTHER CHANCE AT LOVE.
AND HONESTLY, I THINK YOU DESERVE TO HAVE SOME FUN THIS
SUMMER TOO. SO, ZOE, I WOULD LIKE TO
OFFICIALLY ASK YOU TO COME TO PARADISE THIS SUMMER.
WOULD YOU DO IT?
>> I WOULD LOVE TO.
>> Jesse: IS THAT A YES?
>> YES. THAT'S A YES.
>> Jesse: IT'S A YES! ZOE'S COMING TO PARADISE.
PARADISE AUTOMATICALLY, IMMEDIATELY JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT
BETTER. I'M SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT.
THIS IS DEFINITELY THE START OF AN EPIC SUMMER THAT WE NEEDED.
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. BECAUSE LIKE I MENTIONED,
THERE'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE TWIST THIS SUMMER.
JUST WHAT IS IT? I'M THINKING THAT MAYBE MY NEXT
TWO GUESTS COULD HELP ME EXPLAIN THAT JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE.
SO, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE WELCOME YOUR NEWEST AND FIRST
EVER GOLDEN BACHELOR IN PARADISE
CAST MEMBERS!
>> Jesse: GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. I MISSED YOU. CONGRATULATIONS.
COME ON. SO GREAT SEEING YOU. OKAY.
>> SO, THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, GOLDEN
MEN AND WOMEN WILL BE HITTING THE BEACHES OF PARADISE
ALONGSIDE ALL OF YOUR BACHELOR AND BACHELORETTE FAVORITES FROM
SEASONS PAST. I DON'T KNOW THAT I'VE EVER BEEN
MORE EXCITED FOR ANYTHING EVER. HOW EXCITED ARE YOU TO BE GOING
TO PARADISE THIS SEASON?
>> I'M SO EXCITED. THE BEACH IS MY THING.
SO I'M VERY EXCITED. I'M SO EXCITED TO BE WITH MY OLD
FRIENDS, MAKE NEW FRIENDS, AND MAYBE SIGN UP.
>> Jesse: YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF FAMILIAR FACES THERE.
I'M EXCITED FOR YOU. BIG G., YOU'RE KNOWN FOR THE
STYLE AND VERY LIGHT ON YOUR TOES.
>> WELL, THANK YOU FOR THAT.
>> Jesse: WHAT CAN BACHELOR NATION EXPECT FROM YOU THIS
SUMMER?
>> A LOT OF DANCING IN THE SAND. BUT MORE SO THAN THAT, LAYING
OUT IN THE SUN AND ENJOYING THE MOMENT AND LOOKING FOR LOVE IN
ALL THE RIGHT PLACES.
>> Jesse: I LOVE THAT. SO, I KNOW THERE'S PROBABLY A
LOT OF PEOPLE EXCITED, A LOT OF PEOPLE TRYING TO PROCESS ALL
THIS RIGHT HERE. ZOE, OF COURSE YOU'RE GOING TO
PARADISE. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS
EXCITING NEWS?
>> YEAH. I WAS EXCITED FOR THE MANSION.
AS A PISCES, I THINK I'M MORE EXCITED FOR THE BEACH.
SO, HOPEFULLY I CAN FIND MY LOVE THERE.
>> Jesse: I THINK YOU CAN. LESLIE, WHAT ARE YOU MOST
EXCITED?
>> I AM MOST EXCITED TO CONTINUE MY JOURNEY, JESSE, BECAUSE,
YEAH, I THINK THIS IS MY FORTE, THE BEACH, AND MY FRIENDS -- AND
GERRY AND ARE GOOD FRIENDS NOW.
>> YOU ARE. YOU ALSO ARE VERY GOOD DANCERS.
I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE A DANCE ON THE BEACH.
>> WE'RE GOING TO DANCE. WE'RE GOING TO DANCE.
>> Jesse: I TRULY CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS.
SO, HOW IS THIS WHOLE THING GOING TO WORK?
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TUNE IN TO FIND OUT ON A BRAND-NEW ONE
OF A KIND SEASON OF "BACHELOR IN PARADISE."
PREMIERES THIS SUMMER ON ABC. NEXT TIME I SEE, IT'LL BE ON THE
BEACH. THAT'S ALL SHE WROTE, FOLKS.
IT'S BEEN AN AMAZING NIGHT, AN AMAZING SEASON.
CONGRATS TO OUR HAPPY COUPLE, GRANT AND JULIANA.
WISH YOU THE VERY BEST. AND THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR
BACHELOR FAMILY WHO SHOWED UP HERE TONIGHT AS WELL AS OUR LIVE
STUDIO AUDIENCE. AND THE BIGGEST THANK YOU TO YOU
BACHELOR NATION. WE WOULD SIMPLY BE LOST WITHOUT.
FROM ALL OF US IN LOS ANGELES, I'M JESSE PALMER.
SO LONG FOR NOW. GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY.
THIS IS SO GREAT.
