GRANT ELLIS

Fans of The Bachelor are 'cringing' after contestant Zoe McGrady took Grant Ellis on a hometown date to have a bridal shoot.

The date came during the show's highly anticipated Hometowns week, where Grant visits his other halves' families.

His second visit, following Juliana Pasquarosa's hometown, was in New York City with Zoe. This also marked the pair's first ever one-on-one date so far this season.

The activity planned saw the two go through the steps of an engagement photoshoot, posing for the camera as if Grant had recently proposed.

 

After, Zoe put on a wedding dress and Grant a tux as they pretended to celebrate their wedding day.

Fans stormed social media to react to the moment, with one saying: "Setting up an engagement shoot with a man you haven’t had a single one on one date with is crazy work #TheBachelor."

"Grant's face when the woman said they were doing a photoshoot he was NOT hyped," another wrote on X.

A third chimed in, deeming it 'the most awkward hometown ever.'
