‘The Bachelor’ Spoilers: Matt James Reveals The Mistakes He Made On The Show

In an interview with Us Weekly, he revealed his lack of knowledge on the show played against him. He said: “Having not been part of The Bachelorette before I was the Bachelor, I didn’t know the rules and regulations of how to use that word. And so, whenever I felt something, I said it. And I only said things that I meant and felt. So, if that got tossed around a few times, it’s because I felt it. And if it doesn’t, then that means that connection hadn’t gotten to that point yet.”

So what were the mistakes in question? Well, Matt revealed that he put his heart on his sleeve, too early when it came to fellow contestant Rachael Kirkconnell. He told her in an episode: “Rachael, I’m falling in love with you too. And it is scary to say, but when I’m with you, it just feels right,” before giving her a rose.” However, this was always in the making as Matt revealed how he had feelings for her from day one. He said:

“Night one, what she chose to use her time with me to speak about was very intentional. And it wasn’t something that wasn’t going to progress our relationship. And then when I saw on the first group date, and I’m referring to all these instances that aren’t one-on-ones, because that was how our relationship was lived out, you know, I hadn’t had that one-on-one time with her yet.

“And when I had that day to spend with her and really get to know her better, it just affirmed everything I had already felt.” Nevertheless, he did say that some things were out of his control, including the accusations of bullying that have plagued the show: “Watching it back, I’ve learned] a lot of the stuff that was going on in the house when I’m not around.

“I guess I’m naive to think that everything [was] cherries and blossoms, but last night was an example of hearing information for the first time and then acting on it.” It is good to see Matt being so honest.
