Where to Follow “The Bachelor” 2025 Contestants on Instagram and TikTok (Because They’re Already Hinting at BTS Drama!)
Although they're unplugged during filming, 'The Bachelor' contestants are much more online when they're off-screen
The Bachelor contestants lead busy lives online when they're not jet-setting across the world looking for love.
Season 29 of the ABC reality dating show, which premiered on Jan. 27, follows Grant Ellis on his romantic journey to find his match. The former basketball player turned day trader is originally from New Jersey — though currently lives in Houston — and was last seen on TV when former lead Jenn Tran sent him home during episode six on season 21 of The Bachelorette.
Following the announcement that he would be the next Bachelor, he shared during season 21's "Men Tell All" episode that he couldn't "wait to embark on this journey." Shortly after, host Jesse Palmer revealed that since Grant was announced as the leading man, more than 10,000 women had applied to be on the show, adding that the number was "growing every day."
Now, 25 women — including a boxing trainer, a model and an attorney — have packed their bags and set out to find love, hoping to leave not just with the final rose, but also a fiancé. While the women are immersed in the experience and unplugged during filming, their social media accounts offer a behind-the-scenes look at who they are.

He also shared that any contestant "starting drama" or "gossiping ... indicates a lack of maturity."
