The Bachelor Season 25

We’re taking a deep dive into the most memorable (or awkward) limo exits from The Bachelor Season 25 premiere.

First impressions are important in life, but they are crucial on night one of The Bachelor Season 25. One of my favorite parts of the entire season is when the women/men walk out of the limousine for the first time, laying eyes on their potential love interest.

In this case, it was 32 beautiful women meeting the ever so handsome Matt James. And we saw some stunning dresses, cringy moments, a whole lot of props, plus much more. And as a result of all this variety, I can’t wait to dive into their looks, first impressions, and highlight the best and worst of the night.

Let’s kick it off with the most awkward limo exits from The Bachelor Season 25 premiere!

I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only one who was completely shocked and taken back by what Katie Thurston brought for Matt. I will say she looked stunning in her sparkly silver dress and her speech started off great. But when she showed what was behind her back I almost choked on my drink. It takes balls to bring someone a risqué “toy”, so I do give her props.

“Queen” Victoria Larson

As soon as I saw a throne and someone being carried in by men, I had a feeling this was going to be bad. As the woman stepped off her throne, she introduced herself as Queen Victoria–I think that says enough. Her dress was absolutely gorgeous I will give her that, but I am predicting she will be the villain for the first part of this season.

Kaili Anderson brought two dresses on a rack because she wanted Matt to chose which one to wear. Cute right? Well, I should have mentioned she was in full lingerie while all the other girls watched from a window inside. Her body was rocking and props to her for strutting her stuff, I just was NOT expecting someone to pop up in her underwear.

There were also a lot of girls who got the “short edit”, where it was just a quick clip of them saying hello to Matt. Included were Magi Tareke, Carolyn Vallejo, Sydney Johnson, Kristin Hopkins, Anna Redman, Corrine Jones, Marylynn Sienna, Emani Curl, Lauren Maddox, and a few others. To me, this usually means these girls don’t have a huge part in the show or with Matt, but you never know.

Now, let’s talk about the stand-out moments from The Bachelor Season 25 premiere, the ones where we all felt the chemistry through our television screens.

And let me say, Matt had a few really good first impressions.
