Due to the fact that The Bachelor filmed at the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Pennsylvania because of the COVID-19 pandemic, spoilers for this season have been few and far between. Longtime fans know that spoilers come out due to the somewhat public nature of the show, which brings contestants to international locations and large concert events where people have cameras and the ability to cross-reference. As with Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adams’ seasons, we’re now having to take a microscope to contestants’ social media activity to find out where they’ve landed in their season—the earlier someone is active, the more likely they’ve been eliminated.

Who does Matt James pick on The Bachelor 2021?

Matt James’ first impression rose

Abigail Heringer got James’ First Impression Rose. Heringer is the franchise’s first deaf contestant, having been born with congenital hearing loss.

Who are Matt James’ final 5  for The Bachelor Season 25?

Reality Steve revealed who he believes to be the final five contestants in Matt James’ season: Serena Pitt Abigail Heringer Rachael Kirkconnell Bri Springs Michelle Young. According to her ABC bio, Pitt loves sports, so it’s likely she and James bonded over that, while Young is part of the group of five women who enter the show after Rose Ceremony #2. Reality Steve confirmed that Heringer is eliminated at top 5, Pitt eliminated after hometown dates, and Springs is eliminated after Fantasy Suites. This means this season’s final two are Kirkconnell and Young.

Who does Matt James end up with on The Bachelor Season 25?

According to Reality Steve, the final rose this season will go to Kirkconnell, with Young as the runner-up. As usual, the Bachelor holiday bubble has been burst—everyone goes home to their families post-filming and has a little too much mulled wine, and that’s when stories start coming out about who’s ended up with whom. According to RS a few weeks ago, Kirkconnell’s hometown of Cumming, GA, has been abuzz about their hometown sweetheart being the winner of this season. “Because for the last month, all I keep being told out of Cumming is that Rachael won, and all her friends and family know and they’re telling everyone,” he explained at the time. He was reticent to confirm this to be true because the same thing happened with Peter Weber and Madi Prewett last season, which turned out to be untrue. (…Kind of.) However, Reality Steve can confirm that yes, Kirkconnell and James are still together, but isn’t sure if they’re engaged. This is all speculation so far, and we may not know who the final four to make it to hometown dates, fantasy suites or all the way to the final rose but this is big news ahead of tonight’s premiere, on ABC at 8 p.m. ET. But trust us—as more stories come out, we’ll be the first to let you know.

Did Matt James spoil his season because of Spotify?

Much like how Colton Underwood’s season was unwittingly spoiled by his Venmo activities two years ago, Bachelor sleuths may have figured out James’ final pick via another accidental social media activity: Spotify. You see, @bachsleuthers on Instagram spotted that James was listening to a playlist from a familiar name you’ve seen here: It could be entirely nothing, but considering what we know and what’s been said here, that’s very something nothing. Looks like someone’s been swapping playlists, the modern love letter.

Are Matt and his final pick still together?
