‘The Bachelor’ spoilers find that Bachelor Nation wasn’t disappointed when it came to watching the antics of the newest batch of women trying their luck at finding love on television.
As The Bachelor season 25 got underway Monday night, those familiar with the franchise know that being memorable isn’t as easy as stepping out of a limo looking flawless anymore. Read on to see who’s introduction took new lead Matt James’ breath away, and who’s entrance fell flat (on her face).
‘The Bachelor’ Spoilers: The boldest (and coldest) limo intros of the new season.
As limo after limo pulled up to the new Bachelor Mansion (Nemacolin Resort), we saw ballerinas en pointe, step stools to combat height differences (Matt is one tall drink of water), pizza deliveries and an arrival in a pick-up truck to show shared hometown roots. All par for the Bachelor-limo-intro course, really.
Only one (partial) costume showed up this time, IT consultant Saneh meeting Matt while wearing goat hooves- going for the G.O.A. T. acronym.
So far it’s all the same kind of schtick we’ve seen before, even health food developer Illeana who likely thought she was pushing boundaries when she asked Matt, “Can I put my balls in your mouth?” (he consented and was fed the world’s largest meatball).
Canadian photographer Alana finally ruffled some feathers when she Lady and the Tramped Matt into giving her the first kiss of the season, but while that may have been bold, club hostess Kaili said hold my beer (and my clothes) as she strutted up to Matt in lacey black lingerie and billowy robe. By the way, this was filmed in Pennsylvania. In fall.
As Kaili trotted off inside to dress, we met both marketing manager Katie and the special friend who had been faithfully by her side throughout quarantine- her vibrator. Luckily Matt found this hilarious and Katie has almost certainly secured herself a spot in Paradise (if she’s not engaged by the end of all this).
As the limo entrances dragged, Bachelor Nation began to ask themselves: Who are we going to collectively hate? In a glaring turnabout from the usual ridiculous Bachelor job titles (who can forget the “Dog-Lover” or the “Free Spirit”) we were now seeing attorneys, financial managers, social workers and chess prodigies. Oh no, that’s not Queen’s Gambit actress, Beth Harmon, it’s Kit Keenan, Cynthia Rowley’s New York socialite daughter.
Queen Victoria if you will. And oh, she does. Carried in like Cleopatra by four interns who I am sure weren’t expecting to be treated like Egyptian slaves when they turned up for work, Victoria plopped a crown on Matt’s head to match her own tiara before ascending the beautiful staircase and falling flat on her ass. It was honestly the most satisfying piece of footage of the night.
So, who caught Matt’s eye and who is on a one way track back to the departure limo? You’ll have to keep your eye out for more spoilers as we break down the 25th season of The Bachelor (Monday nights at 8pm ET on ABC).
