This week on The Bachelor season 25, the top three contenders finally made it to fantasy suites week and one step closer to winning Matt James’ sought-after heart. The whole episode turned out to be way more intense than some viewers might’ve expected it to be.
Needless to say, Matt James had some very big decisions to make with the final rose ceremony so close, yet so far away. Seemingly, he also had a lot of conflicting feelings about who he could really see as his wife in the end. But first, the leading man had three overnight dates with Michelle Young, Bri Springs, and Rachael Kirkconnell. And they all proved to be intimate evenings in their own special ways.
Who made it to fantasy suites on The Bachelor?
We may never know what really went on behind those closed doors, but for those who watched the latest episode, it seems pretty obvious what went down on each date.
First, Matt asked Michelle to the fantasy suite and she happily accepted his invitation. Once again, we witnessed the fan-favorite tell Matt that she loved him without him saying it back, and they proceeded to spend the night together, wake up together, and acknowledge that they both could “get used to this.” So it is safe to assume that the fantasy suite was all it was meant to be.
When Matt and Bri set off on their date, it looked like they might be sleeping in a tent. While not a romantic overnight, Bri definitely seemed up for anything, especially getting engaged, she said. But that is not how the night ultimately went. After some very honest conversations, they ultimately did stay in the fantasy suite together. Bri told Matt she loved him, and once again, he did not say it back. Many fans online took issue with this, but at least he didn’t fake it.
The morning after, Matt James acknowledged seeing a potential future with Bri, but as for being in love with her, that turned out to be another story. Ultimately, Bri was sent home at the end of the episode. According to Matt, his feelings for Bri weren’t as developed as his feelings for the two other contestants, especially Rachael Kirkconnell, it seems.
Thus far, Rachael is the only contestant Matt has admitted to being truly in love with. He’s even told her to her face. On their date, she once again said she feels the same way and told him she is “head over heels.” And so, obviously, their overnight date in the fantasy suite seemed like something that would definitely happen. Watching Matt go on those game-changing dates before her, Rachael had serious reservations about their time together because Matt already had two intimate overnights with the other two contestants. Fair enough.
Matt and Rachael inevitably discussed her fears about moving forward. It seemed Matt alleviated most of her concerns in the process. Still, some of those doubts likely altered the course of what happened next, all things considered. Regardless of Rachael’s initial hesitation, though, they too spent the night in the fantasy suite. And all we know for sure is that their time together seemed more intimate than it’s ever been in more ways than one.
From the looks of things, it seems like Matt slept with all three ladies: Bri Springs, Michelle Young, and Rachael Kirkconnell. Of course, we don’t have confirmation of that as of now.
