Frankly, the franchise as a whole has been losing its credibility over the years.
The success of Joey Graziadei’s season made it seem like the franchise was back in a big way.
Since then, the couple has been living together in Los Angeles.
They’ve been building a solid foundation for a life together, and they seem genuinely happy.
Despite the few recent successes,The Bachelorfranchise has been riddled with failure lately.
It remains to be seen ifThe Bachelorseason 29’s Grant and Juliana will make it work.

Regardless, a reboot is desperately needed to save the beloved brand.
From the beginning ofThe Bachelorseason 29, Grant seemed to have no idea what he wanted.
Some women he liked early on were eliminated, while others he seemed to barely notice stuck around.
Here are the 20 best!
She had told both him and Dotun Olubeko that she loved them.
The same is true for Joan and Chock fromThe Golden Bacheloretteseason 1and Charity and Dotun fromThe Bacheloretteseason 20.
All three couples seem happy together, despite not rushing into marriage.
The good news is I know its not going away.
I know its definitely coming back.
On the other hand,getting married isn’t necessarily the answer either.
Gerry and Theresa rushed into marriage soon after getting engaged onThe Golden Bachelorseason 1.
Hopes were high for the septuagenarian couple.
They came to represent second chances.
Sadly, they announced their divorce after a month of long-distance matrimony.
The season ended with Jenn Trann giving her final rose to Devin Strader.
Turning the tables, Jenn proposed to Devin, who accepted.
They were already broken up by the time the finale aired.
The good news is I know its not going away.
I know its definitely coming back, Jesse said.
She seemedgenuinely blindsided when Grant broke up with her instead.
When Litia sat down with Grant duringThe Bachelorseason 29 finale, she told Jesse that Grant had misled her.
“I remember saying goodbye to him and saying, Oh my gosh, we are getting engaged tomorrow.
And he said, I know, I cant wait.
I love you.”
“I remember saying goodbye to him and saying, Oh my gosh, we are getting engaged tomorrow.
And he said, I know, I cant wait.
I love you.Those were the last words that he said to me before I walked up there.
So it was a shock.
If cast members keep leaving the show so unhappy, the franchise may struggle to cast good contestants.
Since getting engaged, they’ve kept their separate homes, traveling back and forth to be together.
They’renot the onlyBachelorcouple living in a long-distancerelationship.
I just feel like we want to live life together for a minute.
During an exclusive interview withPeople,Grant and Juliana were asked about life after getting engaged.
We are taking it one day at a time, said Grant.
The couple toldPeoplethey were in “no rush” to get married.
I just feel like we want to live life together for a minute, Juliana added.
IfBachelorcouples keep insisting on being in long-distance relationships, the franchise will lose all credibility.
They should make changes without changing what works.
