The Bachelor Season 25 Recap, Episode 2: Victoria takes the spotlight

BSCThe premier for its 25th season last week featured a lot of deep and purposeful testing about race and cultural expectations – and the producers immediately spooked them in the second week. Mention of Matt James became the first irrelevant black bachelor this Monday night in order to establish the best contenders for love in the commercial real estate broker And the Establish Victoria as the villain of the season. Can we do that? Modern About Victoria for a minute?

Matt, 28, is definitely seen through the charade of this self-proclaimed “queen”. Of course Matt didn’t closely watch how Victoria messed with brutality when he chose Brie, 24, for his first single date (more on that later), or how Victoria bumped into the heads of Jicenia, 27, after announcing loud and obnoxiously that she jealous of Brie. But it is Act Watch how Victoria, 27, got into a wedding photo with him during a group outing. And that kiss that I planted on him borders on abuse. Victoria became visibly upset when Matt later gave the group date a rise to Lauren, the 29-year-old company attorney from Miami who shares Matt’s love of the Lord.

How could Matt miss Victoria’s glow? But he must have done so, because when she approached him at the cocktail party the following night, he believed her false claims that Marilyn was a “toxic manipulator” who was bullying her. Of course, these confessions arrived easily distance Matt Marilyn, 28, gave her favorite orchids as a loving gesture, but Matt didn’t seem to notice the timing either.

For a guy who is smart enough to memorize a woman’s favorite flower and notices that Sarah, 24, was struggling with a family problem that weighed on her during his other single date, he sure misses a lot. Which is being Producers? Is matt sensitive and intuitive … or selective as well? Victoria is without a doubt a vegetarian, but it would be nice if her “role” on the show wasn’t too disturbing. By the time Victoria ruined the vibe at the cocktail party, the full vibe was for ring Dirty and Sarah lost consciousness from the stress, which interrupted Matt’s ability to send Victoria, Marilyn, or both.

The best moment to die
However, Matt had some fun notes to watch. This includes not slipping into one however two Hot tubs with two very different but very promising runners. His first romantic soak arrived during his first date with Brie. The two got dirty and flirted on an ATV and then ended the muddy outing by jumping into a hot tub burning with firewood. Of course, because it requires the energy of firewood, Matt took off his shirt (fainting) So he can cut a piece of wood in half. Hmm. This whole hot tub powered by two small wood-burning panels? OK. We think anything for one another of his moments died shirtless. Oh, and a lot of hot tub kissing happened.

The two ended the date with an intimate dinner as Brie spoke about the difficulty of growing up without her father taking an active part in her life, something Matt says he knows well. They kissed dinner and kissed each other at a two-person fireworks show. Well, the other women could see the fireworks too, but they couldn’t go out with Matt while watching, as Brie did.

The second unforgettable exchange came during Matt’s date with Sarah. First, the two enjoyed a stunning aerial view of the Pennsylvania woods from the front seat of a biplane and then enjoyed a romantic outing. As he spoke, Matt felt that there was something Sarah had not told her father. Therefore, Sarah decided, without provocation, to tell Matt about her father’s heartbreaking fight with ALS during dinner. Matt comfortably thanked Sarah for her sincerity and weakness and kissed them and ended up in an old-fashioned hot tub without firewood.

The worst moments he died
Matt’s downfall in the Victoria Lies Network was definitely a low point for a North Carolina native. But Lauren’s kiss with his eyes open felt terrified. Close your eyes, Matt. Make us believe you love this woman.

The moment of the train wreck this week
Whatever that game is in the group’s history, it takes the cake for the most creative moment on the show. Was it supposed to be soccer with a fight with wet paint and cake throwing? Every once in a while in wedding dresses… ?? sigh. This was too much.

Falling bachelorette stock
This one is tough. It’s tempting to keep dumping Victoria because it’s awful. Having said that, Matt appears to have nearly forgotten a horse, 28-year-old daughter of North Carolina. The healthcare advocate participated in a romantic moonshine break in the cargo bed of a pickup truck the first week, but he never got any time alone with Matt during the second week.

What do you think the second week, contacts progress Matt?
