Matt James as The Bachelor

According to Reality Steve, Matt James should be wrapping up his season sometime within the next week. So, perhaps those who can’t wait until the season finale airs in 2021 may have some spoilers from Steve soon.

In the meantime, ABC gave fans a glimpse into how things are going during Matt’s season. Viewers heard the tune of “What a Man” in the background as fans saw Matt dressed in a tux meeting the ladies on night one. Chris Harrison had plenty to say to Matt throughout the introductions.

One lady actually tripped and nearly fell on her way up the stairs to meet Matt. Chris joked Matt had women literally almost falling for him. There are numerous clips of Matt locking lips with various ladies on the season. And, of course there appears to be drama brewing among the women.

He’s never been in love

One huge piece of information brought to the attention of fans is that Matt James says he’s never been in love. Chris Harrison tells him that’s what he’s here for, to help him fall in love.

Reality Steve weighed in on this little tidbit of information in his blog. He said he had heard the news about Matt in July. However, he didn’t have the confirmation to release the information. So, Steve basically says fans should be ready for this information to be crammed down everyone’s throats often.

He also said since Matt James has not been in love, he’s also not been in a serious relationship before. This leads Steve to believe productions choice to throw him in as the lead were not just because he was a good man. He believes it was to help with the diversity issues the franchise was seeing. He also believes it was always productions plan to bring in Tayshia Adams as The Bachelorette.
