On March 10, ABC premiered a captivating new episode of The Bachelor 2025, featuring the much-anticipated Women Tell All special. This episode welcomed back 15 eliminated contestants who took the opportunity to share their experiences from the season.
A central moment of discussion focused on a contentious remark made by Rose regarding Grant Ellis, the season’s lead. Rose had previously stated to Carolina that Grant was thinking of her while dancing with Carolina, a comment that ignited tension between the two contestants.
Realizing that Carolina was upset by her words, Rose expressed:
“I was blindsided.”
In response, Carolina articulated her perspective, stating:
“I tried to tell Grant that Rose didn’t have mean intentions with what she said.”
The Bachelor: Confrontations and Conflicts Take Center Stage
In addition to the highlight involving Carolina and Rose, the episode revisited previous dramas, including allegations that Zoe monopolized Grant’s attention during group dates and lingering disputes between Carolina and Dina. A nostalgic moment occurred when Alexe reunited with Linda the llama, a nod to her memorable entrance.
One poignant exchange unfolded as Carolina confronted Rose about her comment. Rose claimed that she hadn’t understood the impact of her words, recalling:
“At the end of the conversation, we were laughing and giggling. There was no part of me that thought she was upset about what I had told her.”
However, Carolina disagreed with Rose’s assessment, insisting that she had advised Grant not to escalate the issue. As tensions escalated, contestants such as Parisa and Bailey interjected, accusing Carolina of reigniting the drama unnecessarily.
“You chose to bring it up that night when you already had a rose,” Parisa remarked.
As the argument intensified, host Jesse Palmer struggled to restore order, leading to a moment where Carolina left the stage in distress. Meanwhile, some contestants accused Carolina of being a source of the drama.
The friction between Carolina and Dina also resurfaced, despite earlier indications of reconciliation. Jesse Palmer even highlighted a social media post wherein Carolina claimed to have screenshots of her conversations with Dina. To this, Dina responded, stating:
“I was just trying to make light of things.”
Other Significant Highlights from the March 10 Episode
Beyond the altercations involving Carolina, the episode unpacked various other notable instances. Contestants voiced their frustrations regarding Zoe’s extended time with Grant during a basketball date, with Beverly expressing dissatisfaction over Zoe’s lengthy interactions, claiming it lasted “for an hour.” Alli Jo noted that the children present for the date were left waiting during this time.
In a moment of reflection, Sarafiena extended an apology for a previous comment regarding Zoe’s dress, asserting, “I take full accountability for it.” Although Zoe was absent, she confirmed that she had already apologized privately. Alexe, reflecting on her elimination, stated:
“Me and Grant had a strong connection, but it was hard catching up to all the other relationships. I was shocked when I got sent home.”
Carolina also revisited her emotional one-on-one date with Grant in Las Vegas, where she disclosed her epilepsy to him. Yet, the conversation soon turned back toward her ongoing tensions with both Rose and Dina, reigniting the conflicts.
