Grant Ellis’ exes gathered ‘round to spill the tea.
Jesse Palmer hosted The Bachelor’s Women Tell All special on Monday, March 10, when the group of women who Grant, 31, didn’t pick reunited and looked back on what unfolded so far.
The episode opened with Carolina showing off a custom outfit that featured quotes she said throughout the season, and the group reflecting on how Grant’s finalist Zoe stole hm away during the basketball group date early in the season.
Beverly claimed Zoe, 27, was gone for an hour during that group date, and Sarafiena expressed regret for commenting on the length of Zoe’s dress. Sarafiena, 29, referred to it as “quite possibly the worst thing I think I’ve ever said.”
The associate media director shared that she’s since apologized to Zoe. ”We have to give her some grace,” Sarafiena said of Zoe.
Jesse, 46, asked Rose about the conversation with Carolina, 28, in which the public relations producer took away that Grant was thinking about someone else when they danced on stage during the second group date of the season.
“We were like, laughing and giggling,” Rose, 27, alleged of her talk with Carolina. “Like, there was no part of me that thought she was upset about what I had told her.”
Carolina said she wanted to wait until Grant came out to the stage to discuss it further, and later, during her time in the hot seat, said she didn’t “believe that Rose wasn’t just pulling that out of thin air.”

DINA REFLECTS ON HOMETOWNS
After Sarafiena and first impression rose recipient Alexe, who told Jesse she thought she had the season “in the bag” had turns in the hot seat, Dina took centerstage. Dina, 31, told Jesse that she and Grant only spoke once about how her family declined to participate in her hometown visit.
“We never really talked about it again,” the attorney claimed.
Then Dina revealed that she actually played a part in make that choice not to include her family in hometowns, which seemingly led to her elimination.
“It was ultimately my decision to not have my family be a part of it,” Dina said. “I have a really big family — half of it were okay with it and the other half, mostly my brothers, were, ‘This is not okay. This is so fast. She’s not going to be able to have a guy who’s been dating 25 girls be faithful to her.’ Like, they didn’t trust the process, and so when I found out that my family were at odds with each other about it and it was causing polarizing views, I was like, ‘Let’s just do a friends thing.’”

Grant ended up meeting a group of Dina’s friends at a pumpkin patch in Chicago.
“I’m not going to have my family meet Grant and the whole time I'm having to convince them of the process and convince them that I’m ready to get engaged when I don’t know that I necessary was convinced of that myself,” Dina continued.
When Jesse asked Dina if she regretted her decision not to include her family, she said she did “a little bit.”

Later, when Grant came out, Dina told the day trader that she felt “a little shocked” by the way he spoke about not meeting her family in confessional interviews. She also apologized if she made Grant not feel like he could speak openly with her about that topic.
“That’s not that,” Grant said to Dina. “You’re amazing and you’re wonderful and your family not being there was not the reason. It wasn't the reason. It was just things that I was looking for, just what was best for me.”
Grant also expressed to Dina that “if we were to end up at the end, there’s time to meet the family.”
CAROLINA QUESTIONS BEING CLOCKED
When Carolina entered the hot seat, Jesse began by asking her if she regretted going to Grant about the conversation with Rose, which ultimately caused the registered nurse to exit the show.
“I feel really bad about what meant for Rose,” Carolina said. “When it comes to my relationship with Grant, it was either that, or me leaving.”
Then, Carolina addressed her own departure that happened after Dina told Grant “there are other people here who are just thinking about themselves and are not necessarily willing to take accountability.”
“I was blindsided,” Carolina told Jesse of being elimination. “And the worst part of it all is hearing him to tell Dina he had ‘clocked’ it because, in what time between my conversation with him and his conversation with Dina had he clocked it?”
Carolina said she hoped Grant would “take some accountability” for how things played out between them and she asked him about when he “clocked” what Dina said about her.
“If there’s something there that is not, that is negative, that’s what I noticed,” Grant explained, citing Carolina’s demeanor during the group date in Scotland as something he picked up on.

Carolina confessed she “was really bummed” during that date. “It was very hard for me to live in an environment where I felt so hated,” she said.
Alli Jo refuted that everyone hated Carolina, claiming that Carolina kept to herself and did not interact with the majority of the women. “It started form the first night,” the boxing trainer, 30, said.
Jesse closed out the show by asking a magic mirror to play back the conversation Grant had with Rose in which he supposedly told her he was thinking about her while dancing with Carolina. “I’m very interested in you,” Grant said to her in the flashback. “Even today, you know, the whole dancing thing on stage and everything, I was thinking about you. I don’t want you to feel like I’m not paying attention because I am.”
Back on stage, Grant clarified to Rose, “As far as referring to, you know, dancing with Carolina and thinking about you, that’s where we strayed. But, you know, bad communication on my part,” Grant said.
Rose took responsibility for her role in the situation, too. “Misinterpretation on my part,” she said.
