“The Bachelor” Grant Ellis is gearing up for a dramatic, tear-filled Season 29.
In an exclusive clip shared with TheWrap, the new leading man welcomes a group of women to the “Bachelor” mansion, including one women who is accompanied by a llama named Linda, whom the contestant dubs her “no drama llama.”
“And I’m a fan of no drama,” Ellis said in the clip.
That might not be exactly what happens on the ABC reality dating show, however, with the clip previewing a compilation of teary moments across the season, with one contestant predicting, “I feel like tonight is gonna be a night of tears.”
As usual, much of the drama seems to come from conflicts within the “Bachelor” mansion, with one contestant telling another “you did me dirty” while another woman ascends the staircase singing “I guess I’m crazy and evil!”
Ellis also faces some battles throughout his season, with the clip showing him admitting “I have to follow my heart, and this is hard for me.”
