Bachelor 25 - Matt James - Jan 25 - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

I loved Michelle & Matt's date and she's probably my favorite now. I feel like I know her more than the others because drama with Victoria (mostly) has overtaken everything else. Right now she'd be my frontrunner but lots can happen before the end.

I was so mad this episode with Anna casting aspersions on Brittany without proof. She and Victoria are birds of a feather, imo. I really wish they hadn't shown this because it could really hurt Brittany's reputation & career. Obviously, TPTB cares more about drama.

@veg_out thank you and I also agree about the great insight and discussion noted here in this thread.

One thing for sure is that it will be interesting to see how everything progresses with all the suspected F4 ladies. So far 3 of the 4 have had those dates and right now imo Michelle has risen above the other two.

@luvnunity I agree with your assessment on Michelle and Bri. I definitely see Michelle getting involved with the drama a little especially if she is in the house more while Matt is on other 1 on 1 dates.

Aside from the bolded, Brittany looked so confused and hurt when she heard that. It really upset me. I get the usual bitchiness about she interrupted my time, not there for the right reasons, , but this was just too much and didn't need to be said. No matter what she does and says from now on, you know that will always be out there.

They've been doing this for a long time. There was a lawyer in Jen Shefft's season who was portrayed as a stalker (or something shady) and I felt bad for him. it was a long time ago so am going on memory.

Does anyone think that the season narrative could be setting up the arc that Matt leaves the show single?

I could easily think that - except how do we explain the scene of his saying he didn't want to be a failure in marriage like his Mother and his brother (I think) - but love made you do crazy things - and his lookign at an engagement ring... Would you pick out and carry a ring to the FRC if you had no intentions of proposing ? But the producers don't always create realism !

Didn't he say in a recent podcast or interview that his final rose was given to his chosen lady? This makes me think that he did not leave single. JMO.

Nope. I definitely think he chooses someone (most likely Rachael), and they're probably still together but maybe not engaged. I can see Mr-Has-Never-Been-In-Love-Or-Had-A-Relationship-Longer-Than-4-Months not getting engaged.
