Fellow The Bachelorette bachelor Grant Ellis defends Devin
Grant, who is competing against Devin on The Bachelorette's 21st season, recently defended Devin after drama unfolded during Jenn's first week of dates in Australia."I think Devin was locked in on Jenn... I feel like Devin, [Sam McKinney] and me, those were the guys who were really locked in," Grant admitted during the July 18 episode of the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast.
Grant, who had received a group-date rose in Week 1, gave Devin a pat on the back for having the courage to do his own thing and fight for Jenn amid backlash.

"That's how I felt because there's always a situation where someone smiles to your face and then says something behind your back," Grant explained to Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt on the podcast.
"But I felt as though Devin, if he feels some type of way, he's going to say it and that's how he's going to do it."
Grant continued, "If he feels some type of way, that's what he's going to say and he's going to let you know about it -- and that's the way that I am! So I respected that."
Grant noted there "was definitely some division in the house" and a Team Aaron vs. Team Devin mentality early into filming.
Grant, however, said he stayed "neutral" between sides and made the most of his time with Jenn.
"Nobody is owed anything... If somebody feels like they're owed time, like, I don't owe you time... I'm trying to be with Jenn, so I'm going to approach it like that," Grant explained.
"If someone feels like they're owed time, they better wait in line," he added.
