Grant and his final three headed to the Dominican Republic for overnight dates on “The Bachelor.”
Theyre both loaded with filler!

This is the perfect place to get engaged!
yo welcome… Daisy!
Awww, shes just plain adorable.
Daisy meets with Juliana on ‘The Bachelor’.ABC
The last time I was in a long-term relationship, there was, like, infidelity, she says.
It really made me so nervous to let people in.
Anyhow, Daisy does her best to calm Julianas nerves.
Juliana and Grant go off-roading on ‘The Bachelor’.ABC
I look back on it, and I dont regret a thing.
You hear that, Juliana?
Its time to go all-in, heartbreak be damned.

Now, head to the jungle and meet your man for some off-roading!
The Bachelor understands, but he tries to assure Juliana.
I think about you a lot, he says.

Its scary for me, too.
The conversation continues along those same lines that night.
They get a measly fruit-and-cheese plate instead.
Rachel talks to Zoe on ‘The Bachelor’.ABC
That did a lot of damage to me, she continues, choking up.
Its such a challenge to go from feeling, like, so minimized in somebodys life.
That just screwed me up so bad.
Zoe and Grant are cheek-to-cheek on ‘The Bachelor’.ABC
Im, like, a little broken, and Im still working to, like, fix myself.
Grant wipes away her tears as she talks and even sheds some tears himself.
Everybodys broken up, he says.
Grant and Zoe meet up at night on ‘The Bachelor’.ABC
Okay, thats sweet.
Somebody messed up, letting you down, Grant adds.
Im scared of getting hurt, too, but Im not scared to take the lead.
Grant and Zoe smooch on ‘The Bachelor’.ABC
Cut to the next morning.
Grant and Juliana cuddle in bed for a bit and then head outdoors for breakfast.
We got a lot of questions answered.
Kaity joins Litia on ‘The Bachelor’.ABC
Said a lot of things.
Good plan, maam!
take a stab at stay positive, because the Bachelor just left for his next date.
Litia is not excited about zip-lining on ‘The Bachelor’.ABC
But first, some more filler.
just welcome… Rachel!
Ugh, shes just too gorgeous.
Grant and Litia on ‘The Bachelor’.ABC
Is she still single?
If so, get this woman onParadise, stat!
Thats not really my idea of getting intimate with one another, admits Zoe.
Grant and Litia have dinner on ‘The Bachelor’.ABC
So Im a little concerned.
You should be, maam!
(Is this really a thing?
Litia says the shop is closed on ‘The Bachelor’.ABC
Ive gone to countless yoga classes in my life, and none of them barred talking.)
Have fun, you two!
The first thing I was thinking was, Dont fart, admits Grant.
Grant learns he’s not getting any on ‘The Bachelor’.ABC
Zoe, meanwhile, is powering through.
Still, Zoe does her best to have fun, and eventually they both relax more.
Theres a positive energy thats there between us, says Grant.
Litia can’t believe her ears on ‘The Bachelor’.ABC
The Bachelor kicks things off by telling Zoe how impressed he was by her during their hometown date.
I saw how you were around your people and your friend, and I was like, Wow.
I saw a wife, he gushes.
Litia and Juliana are the final two on ‘The Bachelor’.ABC
Zoes happy to hear that, but shes also concerned that she just doesnt know that much about him.
What I want is a wife to spend my time with and share my emotions with, Grant continues.
Thatll be a priority for me.
Grant meets with his mom, dad, and sister on ‘The Bachelor’.ABC
She needs a partner who can give her security and can build an empire with.
You know what that means, rose lovers!
No molestar, yall!
The next morning, Zoe and Grant have a picnic on the beach and reflect on their night together.
(Its interesting that we dont see them cuddling in bed together.
It just reinforces my feeling that they dont have much sexual chemistry.)
Im happy that we had that talk.
Two down, one to go!
Maybe the winner of The Bachelor season 22 can help with that.
just welcome… Kaity!
Wow, I almost didnt recognize her with brown hair.
Anyhow, Kaity knows all about Fantasy Suite angst.
And Kaity, who had her date last as well, fully believed that Zach would keep his word.
It just, like, hit me like a ton of bricks.
Just get to know each other with all the lights, all the cameras gone, says Kaity.
This is when youre going to have these raw, candid conversations.
Hope youre ready to flex those compartmentalizing muscles, Litia!
Its time to meet your sweaty man.
Instead, theyll be ziplining, which is a lot less terrifying.
Still, Litia is not LOVING it.
This doesnt feel safe, Litia frets.
Thats why they make you sign a you cant sue if you die waiver, girl!
Im not one to barf on dates, says Litia.
But he might see my lunch.
Litia manages to do one zipline, which leaves her feeling a little bit naush.
Is she nauseous from the zipline or from thinking about Grant having sex with two other women?
Maybe she can sort things out with Grant in a more stationary environment.
Champagne and nausea probably arent the best combination, but maybe thats why the glasses are empty.
I think well figure it out, says Litia.
In fact, shes feeling great about everything, except… the sex stuff.
Physical intimacy is not something I think Im ready for, she tells us.
Im just worried about how hell react.
Lets flash-forward to dinner, so we can find out!
Grant starts the conversation by asking Litia what her timeline is for settling down and having kids.
Because shes 31, Litia says she wants to start building a family in about two years.
It only gets tougher to have kids the older that I get, she explains.
Still, the most important thing is a solid foundation in her marriage.
Of course, he knows that its important to compromise for people you love so this isnt a dealbreaker.
The Bachelor is all, No problem!
Heres the Fantasy Suite date card!
So, sex is just, like, not on the table for me.
I thought if he was going to say it to anyone, hed say it to Juliana first.
And its only the second time hes ever said I love you to anyone.
Litia is just as surprised as I am.
And yes, she says it back.
They smooch some more and then head to the Fantasy Suite.
Morning comes, and we see Grant and Litia sharing some breakfast in bed.
I feel like maybe I should have waited a little longer, he admits in his confessional.
Do I pick Litia now?
Or do I continue to pursue the other woman I have really strong feelings for?
Rose ceremony roll call!
Our final two are… Litia and Juliana.
Love the camaraderie, ladies.
So sorry, Zoe, but your journey ends here as Im pretty sure you knew it would.
This is very hard for me, and I apologize, says Grant.
There are still a few minutes left in the episode, somehow.
We rejoin Grant the morning after the rose ceremony, and hes feeling conflicted and stressed out.
Were here to help you and support you, son, says Robert.
Thats good, sir, because your boy is freaking out.
Ive never been this indecisive, frets Grant.
One minute Im here, the next minute Im there Im not like that!
So, stay tuned for my demise.
Dont worry, Grant we will!
One more week, rose lovers.
Do you think Litia has it on lock, or does Juliana still have a chance?
And has anyone out there ever heard of silent yoga?
Post your thoughts below!
