    'Bachelor' Recap: A Woman Leaves After Interrupting Matt James' Group Date

    ABC

    The new outing of the ABC dating show picks up where things it leaves off in the last episode, in which Sarah fainted at the rose ceremony, much to everyone’s surprise.

    Jan 19, 2021
    AceShowbiz – “The Bachelor” returned with a new episode on Monday, January 18. The new outing of the ABC dating show picked up where things it left off in the last episode, in which Sarah fainted at the rose ceremony, much to everyone’s surprise.
    “She was exhausted… but I’m just glad I was able to steal a few moments away with her,” Matt James said in confessional. “Knowing she’s healthy is what’s most important.” Meanwhile, Victoria assumed that Sarah “fainted for attention.”
    As Sarah got better, Matt resumed the rose ceremony. Eventually, Matt gave the final rose to Victoria instead of Marylynn. “I’m floored. How can he give her a rose? She’s just, the worst!” Marylynn said, admitting that Victoria’s a “good actor.”
    It was time for a group date for Rachael, Bri, Lauren, Kit, Serena C., Victoria, Khaylah, Anna, Kaili and Katie. They then walked into a room to find Ashley Iaconetti reading an intimate passage from Chris Harrison’s “The Love Letter”, and the women were asked to write their own erotic love story with Matt. Katie’s and Victoria’s were so erotic that more bleeps were heard when they read their story.
    Meanwhile, Sarah opted out the date card reading as she was emotionally exhausted. She used to deal with faithfulness, commitment issues and jealousy, adding that she “felt dirty watching that.”
    Later, Matt and Rachael had a moment together. “I haven’t felt this way in a long time, but also it’s scary because I haven’t felt this way this quickly ever,” she told Matt before they kissed. Rachael was positive that Matt “potentially feels the exact same way that I’m feeling about him.”

    Meanwhile, Sarah was devastated. “It kills me to think he’s having these special moments with other women too,” she said. That prompted her to interrupt the group date which she wasn’t invited to and cut short Matt and Katie’s moment. Victoria encouraged Katie to get her time back and she did, leading to an argument between Sarah and Katie.
    Matt eventually walked Sarah out but then she went to visit the other women to apologize. However, they didn’t seem to accept her apology easily. Feeling targetted, Sarah was crying outside. Victoria approached her and tried to sound nice to her before Katie appeared.
    The next one-on-one date was between Matt and Serena P. But before their date, Matt noticed that Sarah wasn’t there with the other women, prompting him to go to her room. She told him that she had packed her bag, but Matt tried to convince her to stay. “That would be a tragedy!” Matt said. “You’re on my mind, and I haven’t forgotten about the time we spent together.”
    “I will continue to remind you how much I care about you,” he continued. “Obviously the girls aren’t going to be happy, but at the end of the day, it’s me and your connection… I will come here every day. I am dead serious.”
    During his date with Serena, the pair used the time to get to know each other and they also had a steamy makeout session in the hot tub. Meanwhile, the ladies at the house discussed how Sarah put distance from the others and MJ decided to confront her for it. Sarah told them that she was planning to leave because she felt overwhelmed by everything but Serena C thought that her move was “calculated, manipulated, toxic.” Sarah eventually left the next day.
    However, it turned out that she came to Matt’s room and told him how she felt “attacked” and that she wasn’t welcomed by the other women. “I went downstairs to like, apologize to the women for being in my room all day, and was like, completely attacked. Some of the women in there are just cruel and malicious, and it’s like, really hard for me,” she said. However, she didn’t change her mind and broke down in tears in the car as she left the show, saying that it was “the hardest thing I’ve ever done.”

    Instagram

    Jan 12, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Some people seemingly were frisky during filming of Matt James’ season of “The Bachelor”. Maggie Hardy Knox, the CEO of Nemacolin Resort in Pennsylvania, where the season 25 filming of the ABC show took place, revealed in a new interview that a used condom was found in a tree during the production.
    “We actually found a used condom in the tree branch,” Knox told The New York Post’s Page Six on Monday, January 11. She went on teasing that “hair will be pulled and weaves will fly” during the season.

    It remains to be seen who were actually the perpetrators as Knox admitted that it was hard to keep track of everything that happened during the filming, which started in September and wrapped around Thanksgiving last year. “Sometimes there’s some hanky-panky going on where it should not have been, but I can’t tell you everything that was going on. We are on 3,000 acres,” the CEO shared. “So, there’s a lot of land and a lot of woods out there. There were things going on inside and outside of the hotel all the time.”
    “People are bored… we’re in quarantine, we are here to serve in any way that we can. We are here to make sure all of our guests are happy all the time,” she continued.
    Meanwhile, the show aired its new episode on Monday featuring Matt having one-on-one dates with Bri and Sarah, as well as one group date. The episode was tense with fight between Victoria and Marylynn which made the leading man overwhelmed. Matt eventually decided to give his roses to Pieper, Kit, Magi and Rachael. He continued giving the roses to Abigail, Chelsea, Jessenia, Katie and Serena C at the rose ceremony. The drama didn’t stop as Sarah suddenly felt unconscious at the end of the episode.

    'The Bachelor' Recap: Matt James 'Overwhelmed' by Victoria and Marylnn's Fight

    ABC

    The new outing of the ABC dating show kicks off with a one-on-one date between Matt and Bri, one of the frontrunners in season 25 as they enjoy riding ATVs.

    Jan 12, 2021
    AceShowbiz – “The Bachelor” aired an all-new episode on Monday, January 11, marking the second week of new Bachelor Matt James’ journey of finding love. The new outing kicked off with a one-on-one date between Matt and Bri, one of the frontrunners in season 25, as they enjoyed riding ATVs.
    The two followed it up with a picnic before spending time together in a woodfire hot tub. They opened up to each other, telling that they were grateful for this moment. Matt also told Bri that he was looking forward to spending time with her. During the dinner date, Bri revealed to Matt that she was raised by a single mom and she felt alone when she found out that her mom was pregnant with her secret fiance.
    Matt also opened up about his past to Bri. “I’m trying to do things differently. The way you opened up tonight and how adventurous you were on the date, that’s attractive to me,” he told her before presenting her with a rose, saying, “Bri, will you accept this rose?”
    Meanwhile, Victoria was jealous because she didn’t get to spend time alone with Matt. The other women didn’t seem comfortable with the “negative” vibe that Victoria was giving off. “I think I’m authentic and real,” Victoria told the women, before saying that her roommate Marylynn was rude to her.
    The next day, Chelsea, Serena P., Abigal, Sydney, Illeana, Kristin, Lauren, Jessenia, Serena C., Kit, Kaili, Khalah, Mari, Piper, Rachel and Victoria were up for the group date. They were given 10 minutes to pick out a wedding dress to be photographed in with Matt.
    After a photo session, host Chris Harrison tested the ladies with a game named “Capture the Heart” in which they had to tag each other with accessories dipped in paint as they were split into two teams. Things were nasty and messy with Kit and Khaylah falling.
    Matt and the women later headed to their locale for the night part of the date. He had one-on-one time with Lauren and Jessenia, the latter of whom told him that she’s dealt with infidelity. “To put my heart on the line is really overwhelming,” she admitted. Matt later assured Jessenia that he would never cheat on her before they shared a kiss. At the end of the group date, Matt gave the group date rose to Lauren.

    Next was another one-on-one date with Sarah. She was nervous, and maybe it was why she failed to open up to Matt. “I had a great time with Sarah today, but I could tell Sarah was struggling with something. She’s slow getting started, but I need her to be open and vulnerable, because I’ve already had other women being authentic and real, and that’s what I’m looking for,” Matt shared in confessional.
    “It’s not easy opening up about something so personal to me,” she said. “I know it’s super hard to be away from home. I am such a private person… it’s so hard for me to open up. I want to share this with you.”
    She then told Matt that her father was diagnosed with ALS when she was in college. “Mentally, you’re completely the same person, but you slowly lose the ability to speak and to walk and to talk,” she said. “There is no cure for it, and the life expectancy is two to five years.”
    “Mentally, you’re completely the same person, but you slowly lose the ability to speak and to walk and to talk,” she continued. “There is no cure for it, and the life expectancy is two to five years.” Matt then vowed to her that he would be someone she wants to be with. They kissed and Matt presented her with a rose. They ended the night with some romantic time in the pool.
    Later at the cocktail party, Marylynn and Victoria were fighting. “Marylynn was my roommate… she just like, cries to manipulate situations and she’s straight up toxic. I had to sleep on the couch temporarily… it was crazy,” she told Matt, who was “overwhelmed” by the fight.
    When being confronted, Marylynn told Matt, “I mean, I’m not usually one to involve myself in drama, but I’m here to be with you. At this point, I feel like I need to defend myself. She’s jeopardizing my time with you, and that’s not OK with me. I’m telling you the honest truth, Matt.”
    It was then time for the rose ceremony. Pieper, Kit, Magi and Rachael got a rose from Matt. He continued giving the roses to Abigail, Chelsea, Jessenia, Katie and Serena C. Later, Sarah felt unconscious, saying, “I’m blacking out. I can’t see.” Viewers can only find out what happens in next week’s episode.

Following it up was a pickup truck with Khaylah, Serena C., Serena P., Alicia, Alana and Saneh inside. Abigail, Corrinne, Marylynn, Emani, Lauren and Pieper. A pizza car then pulled up and MJ, Katie, Amber, Kimberly, Casandra, Illeana, Kit and Victoria got off the car.
    Matt, who is raised in a Christian family with a white mom and a black dad, started things off by asking the women to bow their heards for a prayer. He seemed stiff around them and lost his mind when he saw a vibrator. However, he quickly had fun with the women while having great conversations, playing chess and bowling.
    Ahead of the first impression rose, the mood immediately shifted. Victoria approached Matt for a one-on-one talk, so did Bri. Abigail also sat down with Matt to have a chit-chat before he leaned in for a kiss. Both Katie and Victoria expected the first impression rose but the special rose went to Abigail.
    Later during the first Rose Ceremony, Matt told the ladies that he had an amazing night with them. He presented the roses to Bri, Rachael, Chelsea, Sarah, MJ, Serena P., Khaylah, Kristin, Magi, Pieper, Mari, IIIeana, Kit, Jessenia, Kaili, Marylynn, Serena C., Lauren, Sydney, Katie, Alana, Anna and Victoria. Unfortunately, Alicia, Amber, Carolyn, Cassandra, Corrine, Emani, Kimberly and Saneh were sent home.

    Report: Chris Harrison Is Not Exiting 'Bachelor' Franchise Despite Moving to Texas

    ABC/Randy Holmes

    After it is reported that the host will be moving to Austin, Texas with his girlfriend Lauren Zima, rumors start to swirl around that he may be taking his final bow in Bachelor Nation.

    Dec 30, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Chris Harrison will always be a part of “The Bachelor” franchise regardless where he’s residing. After it was reported that Chris will be moving to Austin, Texas, rumors started to swirl around that he might be taking his final bow in Bachelor Nation.
    “I really hope he doesn’t leave because I love Chris Harrison but the only acceptable replacement would be Wells Adams,” a concerned Twitter user wrote on Tuesday, December 29, referring to “The Bachelorette” alum. Echoing the sentiment, someone else added, “I simply will not be okay with @chrisbharrison leaving bachelor nation eve.”
    Calling Chris “the heart and soul” of the ABC franchise, another fan noted, “I’ve only watched 1 season of the Bachelor but even I know Chris Harrison can’t leave that show.”

    Fans apparently didn’t have to worry about Chris departing from the long-running franchise. Sources close to the production spilled to TMZ that Chris is not leaving the show. The site further noted that the 49-year-old will commute from Los Angeles to Texas as he’s relocating with his girlfriend Lauren Zima partly because of his recent partnership deal with a local brewery.
    Back in August, Chris took a couple of weeks off from season 16 of “The Bachelorette” because he had to drop off his son at college in Texas. “Just like that he’s gone. Thought dropping the big man off at college @texaschristianuniversity today was going to crush me but all I could feel is pride and excitement,” he wrote alongside some pictures of himself with his eldest son Joshua Harrison and the boy’s new college friends. “Especially now, so grateful that they have this opportunity. Now go take on the world and have the time of your life my boy.”

    During his hiatus, former “The Bachelorette” star JoJo Fletcher took over his hosting duties.

    Chris Hemsworth Totally Against His Trainer Joining 'The Bachelor'

    During his appearance on Nova 96.9’s ‘Fitzy and Wippa’, Luke Zocci, the personal trainer of the ‘Avengers: Endgame’ star, reveals someone from the Australian iteration of the ABC franchise has approached him.

    Nov 7, 2020
    AceShowbiz – It seems like Chris Hemsworth is not a fan of “The Bachelor”. Luke Zocci, the personal trainer of the “Avengers: Endgame” star, reveals in a new interview that the actor was totally not happy upon knowing that he was offered to join “The Bachelor”.
    During his appearance on Nova 96.9’s “Fitzy & Wippa”, Luke revealed someone from the Australian iteration of the ABC franchise approached him. When he asked Chris for approval, however, it didn’t go as he wished.
    “I actually did get it, but I said no,” Luke said of the offer. “I actually said it [to Chris] as a joke and he said, ‘If you go on ‘The Bachelor’, I will fire you!’ ”

    Indeed, Luke didn’t seem to have to go to the show to find love. The 37-year-old fitness guru said he’s dating someone for the first time in 13 years. “I have finally gone and got myself a girlfriend. It took a pandemic! She’s a Swedish backpacker,” Luke said.
    As for Chris, the Thor depicter is still happily married to wife Elsa Pataky. The “Fast Five” actress, however, recently opened up that their marriage isn’t always beautiful. “It’s funny that people think of us as a perfect couple,” she explained back in August. “No way. It’s been ups and downs, and we still keep working at the relationship.”
    Just like other celebrity couples, the 37-year-old actor and the 44-year-old star celebrated this year’s Halloween with fun costumes. Chris channeled his inner Western movie star, wearing a Clint Eastwood-inspired ensemble. Meanwhile, his lady love transformed into Harley Quinn for a day.
    Their kids, daughter India Rose and six-year-old twin boys Sasha and Tristan, also dressed up for the spooky holiday. They morphed into terrifying wolf and bloodied clowns, while Chris’ brother Luke Hemsworth came as Joe Exotic.

    'Bachelorette' Recap: Dale Moss Proposes to Clare Crawley, New Bachelorette Steps In

    ABC

    Clare and Dale’s whirlwind romance, however, doesn’t sit well with other suitors as one of them demands that the leading lady of the show apologizes to them for wasting their time and faking her interest.

    Nov 6, 2020
    AceShowbiz – After being delayed for a few days due to presidential election, a new episode of “The Bachelorette” arrived on Thursday, November 5. The episode kicked off with the men complaining because Clare Crawley decided not to give anyone the rose at the group date because she didn’t think she spent enough time with them during the date.
    The whole situation prompted host Chris Harrison to visit Clare in her room because he thought they needed a serious talk because the men were not happy over Clare’s obvious interest towards Dale. Claire admitted to Chris that she was head over heels for Dale, though she wanted to respect the process. She also denied talking to Dale before the show.
    Later, Chris met the men to announce that there wouldn’t be a cocktail party and a rose ceremony that night. He then pulled Dale out, telling him that the cancellation was because Clare wanted to spend more time with him tonight.
    Meanwhile, Clare was all dressed up as she waited for Dale. She was really nervous, thinking there was always possibility that Dale didn’t reciprocate her feelings. The two then met to have dinner and Dale told her that he wanted to know more about Clare as well as her parents. They professed their love to each other and kissed.
    Following the dinner, the pair went back to Clare’s room and got comfy on the bed. The filming stopped as the two had a steamy makeout session. The next morning saw Dale shirtless as they were in bed together. In a confessional, Clare said, “I could most definitely, GLADLY spend the rest of my life with Dale. I didn’t expect a lot of things to happen this quickly.”
    She then gushed over the “priceless” time she spent with Dale, telling Chris that Dale was “even better than I expected” when the cameras off. “It’s unbelievable to me, and it’s surreal. He’s exactly what I’m looking for, and I would be so honored to be with this guy for the rest of my life, easily. And I don’t even hesitate on that,” she said. Chris told her that she broke records in the show’s history and there would be proposal that night.
    It was time for Clare to tell other men about what happened between her and Dale. “This is so hard for me, because you guys are all such amazing guys,” she said. “Essentially, when I came here, I was so ready and open and willing to like, find the love of my life, and what I came here for, I think I found. And it’s with Dale. I know each and every one of you have so much to offer… I’m a woman who knows what I want, and I’m going for it.”

      See also…

    She went on to say, “I just have so much respect for you guys that I would never, ever want to lead any of you on, and I hope you guys know it doesn’t devalue any of the conversations or any of the energy I had with you guys. I hope that what I found in Dale, I sincerely want the same for you guys.”
    The men were unsurprisingly baffled with Blake showing his concern about how fast she fell in love which might hurt her later. Meanwhile, Kenny demanded an apology from Claire who replied, “I’m not going to apologize for love.”
    “I just feel like a lot of time was wasted… I could tell your head wasn’t there,” he hit back. “So, you should apologize for faking it, when you should have admitted you were in love with Dale after the first night, because that’s what it looks like.” As she broke down, Clare eventually apologized for wasting everyone’s time and hurting them, though she insisted that she wouldn’t apologize for love.
    After calling Neil Lane for a ring, Chris told Dale that he had to propose to Clare because she broke up with the other guys. Later, Dale could be seen contemplating whether he would propose to Clare or not because they just met for two days.
    The most-anticipated moment was finally here. Clare was afraid that Dale wasn’t on the same page with her when it came to proposal. However, it seemed like she shouldn’t have been worried because Dale got on one knee and asked, “Clare, will you marry me?” Clare obviously accepted it and gave Dale her final rose.
    Later, viewers were offered a glimpse at the first look at Tayshia Adams who will take over “The Bachelorette” from Clare. Following the episode, Chris also shared on his social media accounts a new poster, teasing “a new journey” with Taysha.

    “The Bachelorette” airs on Tuesdays on ABC.

  • 'Queer Eye' Star Karamo Brown Would Love to Find Love on 'The Bachelor' After Split From Fiance

    WENN

    The Netflix reality television star is keen to be the first gay man to find love on the ABC dating show following his separation from Ian Jordan after ten years of relationship.
    Oct 15, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “Queer Eye” star Karamo Brown has put his name forward for becoming the first gay Bachelor.
    The TV personality is a massive fan of “The Bachelor” franchise and, after splitting with fiance Ian Jordan after 10 years together, he tells Us Weekly he’d happily appear on the show.
    “Have they ever had a gay Bachelor?” asks the 39-year-old. “We can go for it. Let’s try it. I would… Why not? Let me tell you something: what I’ve learned right now – and I tweeted this the other day – is that dating is a mess.”

      See also…

    Explaining his unfortunate experience of looking for love, Karamo insists that “sending inappropriate pics is not a way to ever engage with someone,” adding, “I don’t know why guys think that’s an appropriate thing to do. So, it’s like, please keep it respectful. You know what I mean?”
    “It’s been like out of order. It’s like, where are the gentlemen, you know what I mean,” he says. “I was out of the game for like 10 years and I didn’t know about apps and these things and I was like, oh my gosh, dating in 2020 or 2021 is a mess.”
    Another conversation starter that fails to land for the star is lyrics to Cardi B’s explicit hit “WAP”, with the star laughing, “I was like, ‘Why do you think this would be me? Like, me? You think I’m going to be like, ‘Oh, great. Cardi B lyrics. Yes, let’s date.’ ”
    Bringing it back to “The Bachelor”, Karamo muses, “So, if I could just get a whole bunch of great guys in one room and just to, like, go through, sign me up.”
