It’s typical to see about a third of the contestants sent home on Night 1. Joey Graziadei eliminated 10 of his starting 32 in Season 28, and before him, Zach Shallcross sent 10 of 30 home. Grant Ellis started with fewer women and therefore didn’t have quite as many Night 1 goodbyes.

Grant Ellis is sharing what fans can expect from his upcoming season of " The Bachelor ," which premieres Monday night. The new bachelor, who is a day trader and former pro basketball player from New Jersey, sat down with "Good Morning America" to give a small preview of his season.

Grant Ellis’s season of The Bachelor finally premiered on ABC tonight. And let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised by the season 29 contenders. As I was watching the premiere episode, I immediately noticed something interesting about the contestants’ ages when compared to past seasons.
