The Bachelor season 29 aired a new episode on February 17, 2025. The segment saw 27-year-old nurse Rose self-eliminate after tensions between her and co-star, 29-year-old PR producer Carolina reached a boiling point. The drama overwhelmed Rose, who blamed Carolina for ruining her chances with Grant. She ultimately informed the bachelor about her decision and left the show.
In last week's episode, Rose told Carolina that Grant Ellis said he was thinking of Rose during his solo dance with Carolina on the group date. The news upset Carolina, who then confronted Grant, asking him if he had said that. He dismissed the accusation, saying that was not what he had meant. It ultimately affected Rose's relationship with Grant, who later questioned her for misunderstanding him.
The latest segment saw Rose blame Carolina for doing her "dirty" and jeopardizing her relationship with Grant. She criticized Carolina for telling Grant what she confided in her as a friend. After some deliberation, Rose took her leave, informing Grant before the rose ceremony.

"Sabotaged my relationship with him" — The Bachelor star Rose confronts Carolina for ruining her chances with Grant
Rose was displeased watching Dina comfort and validate Carolina in front of the group. This happened when Carolina revealed that she had difficulty understanding her feelings for Grant after one date with him. Consequently, Rose confronted Carolina, holding her accountable for jeopardizing her connection with Grant.
"It's just that your actions really set me back and it really kind of f**cked me over in a big fat f**king way. Last week, the way that it was brought up that sabotaged my relationship with him and I'm also in, like, a position with him where, like, I've been set back quite a bit," Rose expressed.
Although The Bachelor star admitted to telling Carolina about Grant's thoughts, she believed that it was said in confidence and did not expect Carolina to convey the news to Grant. Rose further said she was a "martyr" of Carolina's feelings and criticized her for putting her character up for questioning.
Rose called out Carolina for sabotaging her chances of finding love on the show. While opening up to Grant about her feelings, she confessed she had been fighting through her emotions to stay for a long time. However, the fiasco with Carolina "invalidated" her connection with Grant so much that it became a "tipping point" for her. Grant respected her feelings and said he understood.
After seeing off Rose, he reminded the ladies that it was their choice to be on The Bachelor. He then handed out the roses, taking Carolina, Dina, Serafina, Zoe, Juliana, Litia, and Alexe forward in the series.
The Bachelor season 29 airs every Monday at 8 pm ET exclusively on ABC.
