Welcome back to another episode of our new podcast all about the ABC reality series The Bachelor and its many spinoffs.
ThePopBreak.com’s Michelle Coraci, who has been recapping all things Bachelor for The Pop Break for years, and her co-host and husband DJ Chapman, of Mostly Nitpicking. This week they looks at The Bachelor Season 25 Episode 1.
They go over some of the women’s limo entrances that they found interesting. They also talk about the cocktail hour, first impression rose, the first rose ceremony of the season, and give their predictions about who they think will make it far this season. It looks like some interesting shenanigans will happen within the rest of this season, so they’re very excited.
Here is the official description of The Bachelor Season 25 Episode 1 from ABC Television:
“Matt James, the charismatic and engaging star of ABC’s hit romance reality series “The Bachelor,” will hand out the roses for its momentous 25th season. After meeting Matt as a prospective suitor for “The Bachelorette,” Bachelor Nation swooned when they learned he would take on the role as the lead of his own love story. Matt is the total package with strong family values, a great career, and has used his growing platform for good. His emerging legion of fans can’t wait to follow the 28-year-old real estate broker, entrepreneur and community organization founder on his journey to find love during this historic season. Although Matt hasn’t been in love before, he feels he is ready now to welcome it into his life—no matter what challenges he will face—as he starts his search for his happily ever after.
A record-breaking 32 exceptional, beautiful women have come from all over the country to leave their everyday lives behind for the opportunity to meet the accomplished, handsome heartthrob from North Carolina. The bachelorettes pull out all the stops to catch his eye. One woman causes a stir by arriving in nothing but black lingerie and asks Matt to help her pick out an outfit from a rack of clothes.
But the drama is ratcheted up when dueling ladies arrive: one in a chauffeur-driven gold Bentley, only to be upstaged by another being carried in on a throne like Cleopatra, wearing a gold crown. Behold “the Queen”!
However, nothing can stop the first blossoms of romance from blooming between Matt and the women. One who was born deaf and has a cochlear implant wins his admiration, but will she garner the coveted first impression rose?
Matt finds his first rose ceremony overwhelming, discovering it difficult to say goodbye to the women he really didn’t want to disappoint. Twenty-four hopeful bachelorettes remain to join him on his romantic adventure to find the love of his life who could be his future wife.”
