Get ready, reality TV fans! It’s almost time for the latest season of The Bachelor to begin. And after our Bachelor Nation break last week, saying we couldn’t be more ready to get started would be an understatement.
Two weeks ago, Tayshia Adams’ rollercoaster season of The Bachelorette came to a full close with a notably happy ending. The leading lady ended up getting engaged to contestant Zac Clark, and they had the most adorable proposal. With season 16 behind us and love still lingering in the air for Tayshia and Zac, we can begin more seriously preparing for Matt James to take the lead as the season 25 Bachelor.
It’s only a matter of when.
What nights are The Bachelor season 25 on?
Tonight, season 25 of The Bachelor will officially begin at its usual time of 8:00 p.m. EST on ABC. So that’s right, Bachelor Nation, the show is finally back to its Monday night slot. This season will air on Mondays instead of Tuesdays.
Most notably, Matt James will be making major history as The Bachelor‘s first Black lead. His televised journey will also take us away from sunny California, but there’s nothing wrong with a little change of scenery. Reported by ScreenRant, Matt’s season was filmed at the Nemacolin Resort in Farmington, Pennsylvania, across 2,200 beautiful acres in the Laurel Highlands.
In just hours from now, we’ll finally get to watch Matt’s highly-anticipated season and meet those lucky ladies vying for his love. Apparently, a record-breaking number of women applied to meet Matt. This fact only adds to curiosity about who will receive the first impression rose, who will steal the show with petty drama, and of course, who will ultimately win Matt’s final rose.
There’s going to be 32 contestants at the show’s start. This time around, the contestants chosen are supposed to be adding way more diversity than we’ve seen in seasons past, which is definitely a good thing. Fingers crossed Matt’s season will be the best one yet!
