Attention, Bachelor Nation. The Bachelor season 25 cast is here. Matt James’ Bachelor 2021 contestants were announced on The Bachelor‘s official Facebook page on Friday, December 11—and there are some familiar faces.
The Bachelor Facebook page posted the names and photos of 32 women who made the cut for Matt’s season. As Bachelor Nation members know, this list originally consisted of 43 women who were vetted to participate—but not all of them would make into Matt’s final cast. The Bachelor franchise does this to weed out any contestants who may have controversial pasts or dating histories. In the past, the Bachelor contestants weren’t revealed until a couple weeks before the premiere. But as the franchise became more popular, viewers started to share their own stories about different contestants, which didn’t always paint them in the best light—a.k.a. when it was revealed that Jed Wyatt had a girlfriend before Hannah Brown’s season of The Bachelorette. To prevent this (or at least know what they can use as a storyline), the Bachelor franchise posts their casts months in advance to see what viewers can dig up on them.
And the Bachelor 2021 cast is no different. After the contestants were announced, Reality Steve revealed some juicy tidbits about Matt’s Bachelor contestants. Some highlights include that Abigail might be the contestant to receive the first impression rose. Other interesting thing to note is that contestant Mari is the former Miss Maryland 2019 and competed against Victoria P. and Alayah from Peter’s season of The Bachelor. Serena C. is also friends with Eunace from Peter’s season. Another contestant to look at is Kit, who is the youngest contestant this season at 21 years old. Despite the eight-year age difference with Matt, it doesn’t look like any of his contestants are not age-appropriate for him.
All of this, of course brings us to Matt James The Bachelor season 25 cast. Meet the women in the running for his heart ahead, and click here for what else we know about Matt’s Bachelor season.
