S25.E01: Week 1

[DEL901]

Stay classy Kailie. .... but it seems to have worked with Matt.  

[TheFinalRose]

"It's a lot" seems to be the new it phrase of this franchise. Tayshia said it, now Matt and Chris Harrison tonight.

[GracieK]

I feel bad for these women having to climb up all of those stairs after their nervous, awkward introduction. 
 

[tennisgurl]

Thats a bold strategy lets see if it pays off for her!

How old do women have to be before they stop screaming en masse when they see the bachelor ... or see their group hotel suite before they all jump on the bed like 8 year olds.

[DEL901]

Wow, they are rushing through all the meetings.

Lingerie girl really made goat feet girl second-guess her life choices.

[nutty1]

There’s lots of women! I think there’s more than 30!

[DEL901]

He seems to really like the bold women.  

[GracieK]

Chelsea’s dress looks like she rolled up satin sheets and carefully draped them over her nipples and around her waist. 

[Adeejay]

I hope Matt told them he has a preference, because with all due respect, where are the white girls?

[tennisgurl]

Spiders: The nights gonna get weirder. 

[Crashcourse]

Ok these antics are getting stupid.

[JenE4]

Ok, suddenly the lingerie girl seems pretty tame in comparison to the “light saber” girl.

[TheFinalRose]

Pretty sure we won't have two Jessenias this season. Or ever again. 

[JenE4]

Why is that meatball bigger than a softball?! There’s no sauce. Yuck.

[tennisgurl]

So many flexes. “I’m quirky!” “I’m rich!” “I’m already drunk!” 

[saber5055]

Wow, props to Kitt wearing something different. I like her just for that. (For now anyway.)

These intros are turning into a freak show. But then again, this whole franchise is turning into a freak show so there's that.

Girl who fell blew it. When Matt asked if she was okay, she should have said, "No, help me!" Missed opportunity to be remembered while she was on the ground and Matt could have looked down her cleavage.

[Jax7917]

Wow Clare and Tayshia really got the shaft in locations . 

[DEL901]

Dildo girl said let’s do a cheers.  Now she’s dead to me. 

[GracieK]

In response to the Lady and the Tramp routine my husband, horrified, goes “what if he doesn’t eat gluten?!” We’ve been a gluten free household for awhile now 😒

[saber5055]

CH to Matt: "Are you okay?"

Matt: "No, no I'm not."

Me: Neither am I. This show stinks so far, too many circus acts.

[Crashcourse]

I'm not looking forward to seeing the stupid boxing match.  I hate seeing contestants on the Bachelor/ette shows humiliating themselves.

[Thumper]

Do the contestants really get to choose how they arrive? (Limo with others, or separately via other means?). That Queen thing was so dumb.  Does production set these up?

She was dead to me bringing her dildo and then setting it up for everyone to worship. I'm sending her home now. Bye.

[JenE4]

I’m sorry, but Queen Victoria isn’t pretty enough to be a bitch. If you’re going to have a trash personality, you need to at least have the looks going for you for the lead to overlook the Wrong Reasons accusations. But I guess since she has a trash personality and average looks, at least the producers will make Matt keep her around for a few weeks.

[DEL901]

I wish they had name tags or their names on the screen at this point because I don’t know most names at this point and can’t be bothered to learn them until the numbers come down.  

[saber5055]

CH has to explain the first impression rose? I need to put WTH into a quick key. Because WTH.

[TiredMe]

Anyone else think Matt was praying no one else would pull out a vibrator on tv?

[DEL901]

Okay, he is putting his faith right out there... I wonder if that will cause some of the women to self-eliminate... even if they don’t show it.   If Tayshia had been so forthright, maybe Ivan wouldn’t have stuck around so long. 

[tennisgurl]

Queen Victoria dosent have the charisma to be the seasons trashy bitch. She’s seems sad trashy not fun trashy.

Oh, no. Matt doesn’t even know the key vocabulary. God forbid someone tells him someone else is Here for the Wrong Reasons, he won’t even understand. He doesn’t even know to cheers for an amazing journey—and to say he sees his wife in the room!

[Jax7917]

Face wise , does anyone else see Steve urkel when he went in the chamber and turned into hot Stefan ur-kel ? Just me? Okay 🤐

He seems sweet and suave and very genuine , but I can’t take this show seriously , especially with a break up happening almost instantly or within 6 months of the bachelor / ette picking their person every single time. So I don’t expect him to last with whoever he chooses but I’ll eat the popcorn and watch the shit show as usual ! 

[Kiss my mutt]

After Matt opened in prayer I wondered if vibrator and lingerie girl are probably rethinking their approach but he sure didn’t seem to mind. I was pretty impressed by his bold move. 
He seems pretty stiff right now but I think once he gets over his nervousness, more of his personality will come out. He’s definitely the hottest bachelor to me. 

[tennisgurl]

Matt’s really laying it all out on the table right away, saying a prayer and talking about his history being biracial right on night one. I can appreciate that, especially if faith is such a big part of his life and is important to him in a partner, that’s something to talk about right away in a dating pressure cooker like this.

*raises hand* Same here. Not so much Urkel but he's ugh no thanks one minute then oh, so he's pretty good looking the next. Like Seinfeld's Bizarro World Two Faced Woman.

Really odd that this season for the first time ever they are bringing in religion and Matt is totally dwelling on race. It's like TPTB are expecting tons of newbie viewers who have no idea how this "process" works and it all needs to be laid out for them.

Not that we Wrong Reasons Viewers need any explanations though, right? Let's CHEERS to that!

Maybe she prayed to her vibrator?

[saber5055]

Mari created a new word. This process is so "pressureful."

Add that to The Bach dictionary.

[JenE4]

He’s your gazpacho. Haha.

This bugs me, too.  I feel like they assembled a group of Instagram influences.  They all look like Kardashian hangers on to me.  The glossy hair and slip dresses make them look like pageant contestants.  It used to be that the variety of styles was part of the fun 

[saber5055]

Dildo girl has got to go.

[nutty1]

Is pressureful a word??

ETA.... Saber beat me to it! 🤣

“Yeah I’m worried about my grandparents getting stuck in an earthquake VIBRATOR!!!” Holy crap that was next level awkward. Not the best timing for the return of the vibrator. 

[Mu Shu]

So what is the dildo supposed to signify?

These women are so childish. 

[DEL901]

I hope there is a rose ceremony at the end of the episode.  No hate when they make us wait.  

Queen Victoria is an idiot.  

[bosawks]

No disrespect to any of the contestants but he’s got to cut at least a third of them, right?

There were at least 1,000 give or take a few 100.

[JenE4]

Listen, we can’t even shake hands anymore. Please do not share your vibrators and/or tap others on the shoulder with it. Yikes!!

[Crashcourse]

Dildo girl reminds me of Vanessa Bayer from Saturday Night Live.

[saber5055]

Okay, I like the NC girl. A date in the back of a pickup truck is awesome, and sweet tea is too. Plus she made a TOAST! She obviously doesn't watch this franchise.

Ha Ha! Matt just said "I love this" about the snow globe. That's the classic SNL Bachelor parody line.

[DEL901]

Just now, Mu Shu said:

She told Matt she wanted him to replace the dildo.
