The Bachelor Season 25, Episode 6: While not quite on the level of the favorites, these four women have made a strong impression on Matt and are in the running for hometown dates in a few weeks

Bri Springs is probably someone who could be included in the front-runner status so far this season. Matt chose Bri for his first one-on-one, and they bonded over being raised by single mothers after Matt almost injured her on an ATV.

Bri has sort of flew under the radar a bit on recent episodes, but she’s still clearly someone who has a strong connection with Matt and hasn’t waded into the drama.

Princess Kit Keenan on the other hand has waded in the drama. Other than someone to be mentioned later, Kit is the biggest pot-stirrer left this season, she’s apologized multiple times, but she’s still been way too involved. And it appears she’ll be more involved with Heather, too. Oh, boy.

Matt invited Kit back to his suite for her one-on-one date and was shown dutifully cleaning the place up to impress the high-class Kit. As if cleaners hadn’t scrubbed the place clean that morning. Moving on… Matt and Kit had a nice date, cooking—which really stood out emotionally to Kit as she grew up cooking with her mother (supposedly)—and sharing a romantic meal in candlelight. Kit is just 21 though, which is like a lifetime away from Matt’s 29.

The pair obviously have a connection, and Matt enjoys spending time with Kit, but the age gap is just not going to work. Even if Kit is somehow 30 in New York City penthouse years.

Pieper James had to wait a while for her one-on-one date, finally getting hers on Episode 6: a secretive walk to a hidden amusement park out in the middle of the forest. It went well enough, and Pieper admitted she’s falling for Matt.

That makes it… a lot of women who are falling for Matt. However, Pieper had been feeling insecure, had a nice date and that puts her firmly in the contender category.

Serena Pitt isn’t much older than Kit at 22, which is a good age since I’m 22 obviously, but Matt and Serena also had a nice date a few weeks ago. They spent a lot of time third wheeled by farm animals, but they did admit they were falling in “like” with each other. How 22 of them. Sort of kidding, but Serena P. definitely has a strong physical connection with Matt, and she’s hung on strong so far.
