The Bachelor: Roses & Rose: Matt James' Premiere Brings a Queen, Fall Vibes and Plenty of Buzz!

Lauren Zima is back to recap the premiere of Matt James’ season of ‘The Bachelor!’ This historic 25th season kicks off in a stunning new location: the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Pennsylvania, and it is giving us the autumnal vibes we’re looking for after a sweaty summer at La Quinta in Palm Springs! We get to know Matt, our first lead in years who wasn’t a prior contestant, plus: is this the most gorgeous cast ‘The Bachelor’ has ever had?! The iconic night one limo entrances were more than just good looks though: we had animal cosplay, and a very playful appearance by an adult toy. As always, please drink responsibly. 'The Bachelor' airs Mondays on ABC.

As a straight black man in his thirties I know I'm not the target demographic for the bachelor and I rarely have friends to watch or discuss with. These recaps with Lauren are like sitting on the couch with your best friend discussing and laughing over the best moments. Thank you, Lauren!

Maybe you should apply for the show! "Thirties" is just fine.😊👍👍

= =(research) What what you don't realize is that the black bachelor 25 is only happening because of the lawsuits that the white producers got four and a half years ago==the white producers fought hard in court to not have ANY BLACK LEADS =four and a half years ago two black men put together a lawsuit because the white producers refused to have a black bachelor even though black guys were appearing on the show for selection purposes so one of the guys pitched about a black bachelor and the white producer says that's not their demographic so after 4 years of lawsuits to get a black bachelor on they try to capitulate and put a black female Bachelor that's why the black female back where was allowed to make the lawsuit go away then after she chose the white guy why she said she's not going to do any appearances for The Bachelor unless they choose a black male lead this is why it was an uncomfortable conversation do you realize the money that had to be spent on on legal fees just to have black males be seen as normal in the usa and not physical on servants www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/bachelor-racial-discrimination-lawsuit-dismissed-379100 www.npr.org/2012/10/16/162992776/a-judge-dismisses-the-bachelor-discrimination-lawsuit-but-not-its-concerns === I am very proud to see the court case produced our black lady bachelorette and the gentleman on 25 ==should have taken a court case (to my white USA cousins)

[@isabellind1292]

@ Where is your source for the information that says, "white producers refused to have a black bachelor"? What do you mean "the black female was allowed to make the lawsuit go away"?. The judge tossed that class action lawsuit out back in 2012. And why you added "to my white USA cousins" is odd. Who are you directing those remarks to? Because that sounds racist to me!

Absolutely agree with you. I also liked it that he made it so it's inclusive and relatable to other religions as well.

[@YG-0123]

I think Tayshai's season showed us mature contestants and that the show needs to evolve from drama. We already know that production is shady, so keeping the villain and drama queen isn't fun or shocking anymore. The audience isn't stupid. The formula is obvious and repetitive.

[@Cosmosandchisme]

Yes thank you! At this point it’s so cliche!

[@YG-0123]

Kimberly Herrera The formula is just obvious nothing surprises this new social media era

[@phoenixgirl70]

Agreed we all (well most of us) know the ins and outs of the show. How about focusing on the relationships and maybe ones that actually last would draw in people to watch the show. People like Victoria are hired to bring drama, are basically actors and the leads have to let producers do crappy things as a trade off. It’s old and tired and bringing new people in or old people back is also ridiculous.

[@1violalass]

To be fair to the show, they haven't had a chance to implement any lessons learned from Tayshia's season.

[@julianasuplee6900]

Tayisha’s season was refreshingly realistic and mature. Loved seeing two divorcees fall in love. Wish her and Zac the best. ❤️

[@GabrielA-bl4ox]

I believe prayer is the best way to start with, I love the way Matt just do that.

[@meganhuffmanwrites]

So, is the lead of either franchise contractually obligated to keep an overtly unpleasant person just because the producers want them to? I'm so sick of these very obviously arrogant and dislikeable people being given roses when there is clearly no chemistry between them and the lead (just because having them around is bound to stir reality tv drama). Just once I want to see the lead see someone for their bad behavior/attitude and send them home night one.

[@The123ilovebeauty]

Yes, production can force them to keep around whoever they want. And they keep the messy ones because it’s “good” TV.

[@phoenixgirl70]

Yup, years ago Mike Fleiss was on 20/20 and admitted he’s most interested in making an entertaining TV show. They’ve been accused of hiring actors to be villains. Victoria is absolutely a producer plant.

[@laleluilu]

@@phoenixgirl70 I'm convinced Yosef from Clares season was a paid actor. It was too much of a coincident that their fight was similar with her Juan Pablo back story and her being an older bachelorette. He will not come back for BiP because his storyline is over. Victoria is also too annoying to be cast as a real contender. Production doing their best to "entertain".

[@RebekahEdvalds]

Yes, so frustrating when it’s this obvious! You have 20+ women fighting over one man... there will be drama regardless so why make it so obviously produced? 😫

I didn't have a chance to watch this until today and it was just what I needed after everything that happened yesterday. Who knew a Voldemort impression could bring so much needed joy. Thanks Lauren.
