Olé! Grant’s quest for love takes a Spanish twist as “The Bachelor” sets its sights on Madrid. Ten women remain, vying for his affection amidst the romantic backdrop of the Spanish capital. One fortunate bachelorette snags a coveted one-on-one date, exploring Madrid’s iconic landmarks.
But the real test of compatibility comes with the group date: a trip to the charming town of Chinchón. Here, under the watchful eye of matador Carmen Calderón, the women attempt to master the art of bullfighting before tackling a mechanical bull for some private time with Grant.
One connection takes a literal leap of faith, quite possibly a bungee jump, but will it be enough to land a spot in Grant’s heart? Jealousy simmers as some women question Grant’s sincerity, and an unexpected departure leaves him scrambling for answers.
The change of scenery injects some fresh energy into the usual “Bachelor” formula, and the bullfighting challenge adds a welcome dose of absurdity. The interpersonal drama, however, is as predictable as ever, with rivalries intensifying and insecurities bubbling to the surface.
The surprise exit adds a touch of genuine suspense, leaving viewers wondering who’s packing their bags and why. Will Grant find his true love in Madrid, or will the journey end in heartbreak?
“The Bachelor” airs Mondays at 8/7c on ABC.
