Zoe McGrady's surprising elimination adds to the controversy, which left many wondering if her relationship with Grant was unfairly overlooked. Despite her unquestionable chemistry with him earlier in the season, Zoe's exit has sparked conversations about whether her bond was strong enough to compete with Juliana and Litia. As The Bachelor series finale is scheduled to air on March 31, it's time to question whether the final two are really the right choices — and see if your opinion matches mine.
Juliana And Litia's Emotional Journeys Led Them To The Top
How Did They Both Earn A Spot In The Finale?
Juliana Pasquarosa, a 28-year-old client service associate from Newton, Massachusetts, has definitely stood out this season for her genuine approach to love and relationships. From the beginning, her authenticity captured Grant's and the audience's attention, making her a fan favorite. Her emotional vulnerability, especially during Fantasy Suite week, revealed her deeper layers — particularly when she shared her experiences with infidelity.
It's moments like these that make Juliana's journey feel incredibly relatable and real, leading me to believe that she truly earned her spot in the finale. However, some fans do not agree with this statement. @ilurlosingme commented, "why do people who haven't healed their relationship trauma yet keep coming on this show" (via X).
This powerful moment demonstrated that love isn't just about physical attraction but also about respecting personal values and maintaining an emotional connection. Grant's reciprocation of her feelings further solidified their bond. This emotional depth made Litia genuinely deserving of a spot in the final two.
Both Juliana and Litia's time was marked by moments of vulnerability and emotional growth that made their places in the finale feel earned and deserved. Their connections with Grant were rooted in authentic conversations, mutual respect, and a willingness to open up about their pasts. While Zoe's lighthearted energy may have been a fun addition to the season, Juliana and Litia's emotional maturity made them stronger contenders for Grant's heart.
Did Zoe Deserve a Spot in the Final Two?
Was Her Connection With Grant Deeper Than Juliana's and Litia's?
However, as the season progressed, subtle signs began to show that Zoe's relationship with Grant wasn't great. It seemed like the bonds he shared with other contestants like Juliana and Litia were stronger. During their yoga date, the physical chemistry between them was evident, but emotionally, their connection seemed to fall short. Despite their shared moments of fun and laughter, Grant didn't seem to open up to Zoe in the same way he did with the other women, leading to doubts about whether their relationship could truly stand the test of time.
However, I believe that Zoe deserved a spot in the final two, as her connection with Grant was open, honest, and full of potential. While her relationship with him may not have reached the emotional depth seen with Juliana and Litia, she brought a sense of lightheartedness and adventure that would have been an excellent match for Grant's personality. The results may have been very different had Grant attempted to forge a deeper connection with Zoe.
Who Has the Stronger Connection With Grant?
Who Deserves The Final Rose?
As the season finale of The Bachelor nears, the connections between Grant, Juliana, and Litia have sparked intense debate among fans. Many fans are disappointed in the fact that Grant seems to already have chosen who will get the final rose. @emilyxruba posted, "Do I pick Litia now or keep going" if I was Julianna and he picked me at the end and I HEARD THAT?! Done" (via X)
Juliana's time on the show has been a testament to her personal growth and emotional vulnerability. She has opened up about her past, including her struggles with infidelity, and Grant's consistent support throughout has been pivotal in building their connection. Their relationship has been marked by deep, genuine conversations where both have actively respected each other's experiences.
In contrast, Litia's connection with Grant has been shaped by her strong personal values and cultural beliefs, which have given her relationship with him a unique dynamic. Her decision to set boundaries surrounding physical intimacy while still expressing affection and desire for emotional closeness with Grant has demonstrated her integrity. This openness and mutual respect for one another's perspectives have created a deep emotional connection that transcends physical attraction.
