The drama-filled 25th season of “The Bachelor” is one to put on your personal watchlist. This season stars the new handsome bachelor, Matt James. New episodes air every Thursday on ABC. So far, six episodes have been released, each of them complete with surprising turns, interesting love stories, and characters to hate and admire. “The Bachelor” continues to produce new seasons with fun casts, different plots, and unpredicted outcomes. 

The season begins with 32 women, all eager to meet Matt. Matt, along with being the first Black bachelor, was highly requested for this spot. He was recognized through his close friend Tyler Cameron, runner up on season 15 of The Bachelorette. The ladies highly anticipated his appearance on the show. All of them work to make a good impression on their possible future husband, and are excited to get to know him and the fellow girls along the nine week journey. 

As usual, the show starts off with a villain, Sarah Trott. She loves to take Matt away from the other girls and is defensive about his other relationships. She has extreme confidence in her connection with Matt, which causes conflict between her and the other girls in the house. More drama is created between the contestants when the show makes a surprising turn later on. The show’s producers decided to do something never done before: introduce new girls in the middle of the season. Tensions rise and it is interesting to see how a sudden change affects the many relationships developed and tests the authenticity of them. Matt tries his best to steer clear of the drama in the house, but eventually has to make difficult decisions in order to reach his goal of finding a wife by the end of the show.
