Bachelor 25 - Matt James - General Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Did Matt go to LA for WTA, or was it just the ladies? Are we missing SHV activity?

It seems like they were potentially on a SHV for two weeks that ended around January 22nd. Therefore I don’t believe they will have another SHV for a while if the last one was as long as it was.

Two week SHV?? I don't recall anyone having a SHV for more than a few days.

Idk they were both M I A for two weeks. Rachael was not at her friends bridal shower on January 9th (where all the bridesmaids received gift boxes and were posting the event on their stories) and Rachael started posting on her stories on January 22nd. A day or two later, the bride gave Rachael her bridesmaid gift box (it was posted on the brides story). The SHV could have been shorter of course, but they weren’t accounted for for two weeks, and these last two weeks they’ve been accounted for.

Maybe they have been filming to do damage control and/or training them as to what to say to the media?

@Lennoxcolinrolland Thanks for the rundown.

@gabriele Good point.

It's most likely due to quarantine regulations...flights in/out of LAX.

I'm going to put this out there -- I'm increasingly grossed out by how Matt puts his hands on women's thighs when he's sitting and talking to them. I figure that a kiss is mutual, but putting your hands on someone's thigh feels too invasive and nonconsensual to me. I realize that other bachelors and male cast members do this as well, but I don't like it.

I agree with you Amethyst. Hold the girls' hands when you're talking to them, but why touch the thighs? Seems a bit grabby, and definitely non-consensual.

Others have mentioned being annoyed by Matt kissing with his eyes open, but I find I'm put off by his constant ringing/rubbing his hands together! Matt please just put your hands in your pockets or something! Haha!

So do y’all think there’s been emergency edits to this weeks episode? Just thinking about the lack of any promos for the upcoming episode. I wouldn’t be mad if they chose to shorten or cut all together the rest of the Heather nonsense. There’s girls on the show that I would much rather see and learn about given HTD’s are right around the corner.

I am curious about Matt's statement that he hasn't talked with any of the girls since the show.  
So far:  
The last sighting in sc of Bri was the fantasy date - in the long dark blue dress.
For Michelle - there is the sc of Michelle and Matt in the shower scene.
For Rachael - imo - it is Rachael in the dropping from a plane sc.
There are also sc of someone rolling down a hill in plastic bubbles which could be part of any of last chance, fantasy date or htd activities.

Could it be - that the F1 turns Matt down ? (and that is why he hasn't spoken with her since the show ? )
