Last night’s episode of The Bachelor Season 25 started during the cocktail party before the evening’s rose ceremony. Matt James addressed the bullying and pulled Brittany away first. While Matt and Brittany chatted, the women tried to figure out who told Matt about the bullying.

Matt sent Anna home fairly quickly. He was disappointed in her rumor about Brittany being an escort. Then during the rose ceremony, he sent home Victoria, Lauren, Mari, and Catalina. Victoria dramatically proclaimed that she was never dating another Matt again. A big weight seemed to lift off from the remaining women.

The new week started with Rachael receiving a date card. He spoiled her with a shopping trip with celebrity stylist Ty Hunter. One of her gifts included a pair of Louboutin heels. Rachael brought her new wardrobe back to the hotel before getting ready for her evening portion of the date. She told Matt that she was falling in love with him, and Matt said he felt the same way. Matt took her home in a horse-drawn carriage.

The Bachelor Season 25 heads to a farm

The group date was on a farm, and most of the women had a fun time. But it was a bit awkward at times, like when Matt decided to make out with Pieper during her video confessional not very far from the other ladies.

Abigail shared her struggles with Matt. She was afraid that Matt would not like that her future children may be deaf like her. Abigail’s father walked out on her family, and Matt shared his experience with an absent father too. They grew closer together, and Abigail didn’t feel as concerned anymore. She received the group date rose later that night too.

MJ didn’t appreciate when Matt said that she was called an antagonist in the house. She confronted the ladies, and Jessenia confessed to telling Matt what MJ was like when he wasn’t in the room.

Kit had the last date of the week. The couple had a romantic and fun time making a dessert together in the kitchen. Matt wanted to know what life with Kit would be like after the show. She said it would be like that date, and they felt more connected.

MJ and Jessenia received a card from Matt asking them to meet him before the cocktail party. Matt wanted to know the truth. MJ blew up on Jessenia as she was mad that Jessenia questioned her character. There was quite a bit of back and forth; then the episode ended with Matt arriving to meet them.

Next. The Bachelor is finally bringing Tyler Cameron on to help Matt James. dark

The next episode of The Bachelor Season 25 is Monday, Feb. 8th, on ABC at 8 PM EST!
