We had an explosive week on The Bachelor Season 25, with lots of drama and tears, and we are here to discuss all of the women who received date roses from Matt James during the episode. Each week we break down each date, who was on it, who got the rose, and if they deserved it.

Last week we saw three chances for the women to get date roses–two full group dates, and a one-on-one date. It was Chelsea Vaughn, Bri Springs, and the newbie Michelle Young, who all caught Matt’s eye and came out on top of each of those dates. I think all of those women deserved the rose they got, but I’ll be paying closer attention to Michelle, as she and Matt seemed to REALLY hit it off.

Last week’s episode ended with a cliffhanger, where we saw Katie Thurston confront Matt James about the bullying inside the house. He seemed pissed, to keep it blunt, and that’s when the episode quickly ended, leaving us to think, “What will Matt do?”

As for this episode, we have one group date and two one-on-one dates to discuss. Let’s kick it all off with the first date shown on Th Bachelor Season 25, Episode 5.
