You’d think we’d be used to surprises onThe Bachelorby now.
So there was no reason to expect anything less from Season 25.
This promised to be must-watch TV.

It was but alas, for all the wrong reasons.
Apart from the typical drama and disappointment as Matt sent women home (aw,Abigail!

I wish him all the best.”
