The Bachelor Reveals Matt James’ Top 10

“Bachelor” Matt James’ Dating Dos & Don’ts

Matt James is finally narrowing down his potential wives. 

After this season of The Bachelor started with 32 women and then randomly added five more, it felt like it was truly taking forever to get to a point where we could actually remember everybody’s names and tell all the women apart. After tonight’s episode, Matt is down to just 10 contestants and he’s now making cuts that are even hurting us. 

First, he said goodbye to MJ. That one didn’t hurt at all, because she was part of the group of women who were being jerks the past few weeks. But when he didn’t give a rose to the delightful Magi, we started to feel sad. When he kindly let Katie know he could not give her a rose after a very silly but delightful one-on-one, we felt really sad. Katie’s the MVP of the season so far and you cannot tell us otherwise. 

Of course, when we really think about it, it makes total sense. 

Katie’s been the MVP of the season because she’s spent all her time standing up to people like Victoria and defending other contestants from people like Victoria. She was instrumental in getting Matt to address the bullying and in getting Victoria sent home, but she and Matt have never really romantically connected, and that’s essentially what he told her during their dinner date. 

If the rumors are true, Katie’s got a bright future ahead of her as the next Bachelorette. Even if the rumors aren’t true, she’s likely got a bright future ahead of her in Bachelor Nation in general, but we wouldn’t be mad to see her leading her own season in a few months. So goodbye to you, Katie, but probably also see you soon. 

In other news, tonight’s episode featured a storyline in which Heather Martin, friend of former Bachelorette Hannah Brown and contestant of Colton Underwood, drove herself to the Nemacolin in a minivan and asked if she could meet Matt James. We then got occasional updates on how she was doing in her quarantine, and every time the show would cut away from her, we promptly forgot she was there until the next update. 

She finally got to meet Matt at the very end, during a pre-rose ceremony cocktail party. She had to interrupt Pieper to speak with Matt, and shockingly, all of the women were absolutely furious. If she had interrupted someone who hadn’t just been on a glorious one-on-one date, we might actually have feared for Heather’s safety. 

We simply don’t buy that Chris Harrison had absolutely no idea that Heather was coming and we also simply don’t care that she’s there. Too little, too late, girl. 

Finally, we must just mention that Matt and Katie’s date involved them pranking Matt’s BFF Tyler Cameron via a fake masseuse. Katie suggested that the masseuse twist Tyler’s nipples. Pranks are weird! 

Scroll down to keep up with all the women remaining on Matt’s season! 

Abigail

Abigail is a 25-year-old client financial manager from Beaverton, OR. Chris Harrison calls her a favorite, “a gem of a woman.” She’s the first hearing-impaired contestant on the show and she makes a big first impression on Matt. 

“Abigail is a beautiful soul from the Pacific Northwest who says that nothing makes her happier than enjoying a cold local microbrew on a beautiful Oregon day. Having a hearing impairment never stopped Abigail from living her life to the fullest. She loves being outdoors, and when she’s not working, she loves to spend time with family whom she says bring out the best side of her. Abigail is easygoing, laid-back, always down to have fun and ready to find the man of her of her dreams. She says she is looking for a man who will lift her up and make her feel like it’s just the two of them in the whole wide world. Good looks are definitely a plus, but Abigail says that getting to know someone on a deeper level is far more important in a successful relationship. Abigail says she doesn’t believe in love at first sight, but we’ll see if that holds up after she meets Matt!”

Bri

Bri is a 24-year-old communications manager at a big unnamed tech company. She almost had to give up her job to be on the show and Chris says she’s “unbelievably smart.” She will catch Matt’s eye early on. 

“Bri is really something special. She was raised by her mother and grandmother who made countless sacrifices to give her a fighting shot at having a successful life. For this reason, Bri has always outworked everyone around her because she learned early on that everything in life was earned not promised. Bri now works for a high-profile social media company and is very proud of her achievements, as she should be. With her professional life intact, she is ready to focus on her personal life and find the man of her dreams. Bri describes herself as very laid-back and someone who is not embarrassed easily. She says that she is always the alpha in the relationship but would love to find someone who can challenge her and keep life interesting and exciting. It’s very rare that she spends a weekend indoors and not outside hiking or hanging at the park and nearby beaches. One day, Bri hopes to have two or three kids of her own.”

Chelsea

Chelsea is a 29-year-old runway model from New York who Chris Harrison says is the “real deal.” Like she’s not an Instagram model, she’s a legit model who walks during fashion week. “No swipe-up codes for Chelsea,” Chris says. 

“After graduating college and getting a full-time job in corporate America, Chelsea did one of the most outrageous things she’s ever done in her life … she quit her job, strutted her way into the world of modeling and never looked back! Chelsea’s dating life was pretty nonexistent until she was in college, and her only relationship ended a year and a half ago when, after five years of being together, she felt she had outgrown him. Now that she has spent some time playing the field, she says she has a clearer idea of what she wants out of a relationship. Chelsea loves a man who will go the extra mile to show how they really feel and really appreciates it when someone can be vulnerable and an open communicator. Her dream man will join her as she wines and dines throughout the city; and while she doesn’t need it, a man who loves to spoil her from time to time is always a plus. Chelsea can’t wait to find a husband and she’s hoping to find that with Matt.”

Jessenia

Jessenia is 27 and from San Antonio, TX. She’s a social media marketer and a former pageant girl who may remind us of Hannah Brown. She doesn’t mind ruffling feathers and will find herself in more than a little drama. She “takes a page out of Bennett’s playbook” and gives a gift. 

“Jessenia is the total package of brains, beauty and an infectious personality. She was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, and is a former pageant queen, even receiving the title of Miss El Paso in 2016. After recently ending her most recent relationship, Jessenia is hoping to find her true counterpart in Matt. Jessenia loves a man who takes initiative, is adventurous, and who will keep life exciting and unpredictable. Her soul mate also must love dogs because Jessenia currently has three of them! One thing Jessenia cannot stand is a man who will not get off their phone, especially if it’s during date night. Jessenia wants someone with whom she can travel the world, but who will also indulge in a fabulous staycation. She is a true romantic and says she daydreams about what it will be like when she finally meets the man of her dreams.” 

Kit

Kit is a 21-year-old socialite from New York whose mom is a well-known fashion designer. Chris is not sure how we are going to respond to her. She’s “high-fashion” and had boxes and boxes of dresses shipped to the show, but she’s very sincere. 

“Kit is a true born-and-raised New Yorker. She currently lives at home with her parents in the heart of the West Village while finishing her last year of undergrad at NYU. Kit hasn’t had a serious relationship since her first love in high school, but that’s only because she hasn’t found a man who can measure up to the level of emotional intelligence she needs. She’s found that most guys she meets don’t match her maturity level, and although she is only 21, she is very ready for a serious commitment. Kit is looking for a man who is genuine, open and honest. She is a straight shooter who has no interest in anyone who is fake or indirect. This badass woman wants to find someone who can keep up with her witty banter and hold their own in the New York social scene. Kit knows that she has high standards, but she has no doubt that Matt will be able to live up to the hype.” 

Michelle

Michelle is a 27-year-old teacher from Edina, Minnesota. 

“Michelle is a former Division I basketball player who now, in her elementary school teacher job, focuses on preparing her students to be the next generation of community leaders. Admittedly, she is an overworker and says she is here because she is ready to find love and a man with whom to start a family. As a partner, she describes herself as loyal, compassionate and supportive, and shows love through acts of service. Her dream man is confident but not cocky and will look at her as his equal in all things. When Michelle’s not working, she loves to spend time with friends hiking and wine tasting. She is very adventurous in life and in appetite; she says that all of her favorite restaurants are local food trucks. Michelle has big dreams for the future and says she wants a man by her side that is supportive and driven to make the world a better place. She is looking for the superman to her superwoman and says that, together, she hopes that she and Matt can fall in love and change the world.” 

Pieper

Pieper is a 23-year-old grad student from Happy Valley, OR. She’s a “bit of a slow roll” in the romance department “but once she gets there, there is no turning back.” She has zero poker face. 

“Don’t discount Pieper as just a pretty face because there is way more to this stunner than meets the eye. She’s truly the total package! Pieper has a dynamite personality, a creative mind, a master’s degree in marketing and a wonderful family who has supported all her endeavors. The only thing missing for Pieper? A man to enjoy life by her side! Pieper is caring, giving, and loves to learn what brings her partner joy so she can foster that happiness. She loves to spend quality time with her significant other, but also very much values independence and having parts of her life that remain her own. Pieper needs someone with confidence and someone who knows what they want in life because forethought is so important to her. It’s easy to see what makes Pieper a total catch and we think Matt will have no problem seeing it too.” 

Rachael

Rachael is a 24-year-old graphic designer from Cumming, GA. She’s a down-to-earth Southern girl who is very competitive. On the first night, Rachael gets unexpectedly affected by the speech Matt gives. 

“With beautiful eyes and personality to match, Rachael is a southern sweetheart with a close-knit family. Though Rachael says she is a hopeless romantic to her core, she has never been in love and believes that Matt may just be the guy to change that. Rachael is hoping that her love story will be something huge and life altering. She wants to look back on her life when she’s old and feel like she has made the absolute most out of every single day. Nothing makes her happier than a good movie, good wine and charcuterie boards. Rachael needs a man who will make every day with her something to tell their future children about and says, ‘At the end of the day, love is what makes your life more special than others. Life can be hard and really difficult and dark at times, but if you have someone by your side that loves you more than they love themselves, that makes it all worth it in the end.'” 

Serena C.

Serena C. is a 24-year-old flight attendant from San Francisco, CA. She tripped into Matt’s arms on purpose but Matt did not realize it was on purpose. 

“Serena C. is a free spirit who loves adventure and is always up for a good time. After spending time in quarantine, she has taken the time to really think about what qualities she wants in a partner and she is here because she thinks that Matt James may be her perfect match! She is looking for a man with charisma, good character and someone with whom she can have a strong physical connection. Serena C.’s idea of a perfect date is getting all dressed up for a fancy night out, taking in the sunset over good champagne and a thought-provoking conversation. She needs a man who wants to be professionally successful, but is also a free spirit like her with dreams of traveling the world. Serena C. says that it really takes a special kind of man to lock her down, and we think Matt may just be the man she’s been waiting for!” 

Serena P.

Serena P. is a 22-year-old publicist from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She’s very tiny, but a force to be reckoned with and has great chemistry with Matt. She’s also very honest. 

“For as long as she can remember, Serena P. has been a believer that no matter what your age is, when you know, you know. Serena P. has always led a disciplined lifestyle and says she has never really taken the time to pursue true love, but now, this typically logical thinker is throwing her rulebook out the window and is ready to meet the man of her dreams. Serena P. is looking to find a man who will enjoy spending quality time with her—whether they are having beers at a low-key bar or sitting courtside at a Toronto Raptors’ game. For her, it’s all about having fun and growing in life together. Serena P. needs a man with ambition who will be her teammate in life. He also HAS to be willing to share his food with her saying, “If they don’t let me taste their food, I don’t know if the relationship could survive.” Serena P. knows true love is real but is waiting to find it, and she is hoping to experience that the second she meets our bachelor.” 

ELIMINATED: Katie

Katie is a 29-year-old bank marketing manager from Renton, WA and she’s a Bachelor superfan who is unlike many other contestants. She brings Matt a gift from home that is unlike they’ve ever seen, and it involves giving standards and practices a heart attack. 

“Katie knows exactly what she wants in a man and is done wasting her time on boys who won’t live up to her expectations. She is a witty storyteller who says when she finds someone worth committing to, she is the most loving and committed partner anyone could ask for. Katie is daring and adventurous. While Katie is serious about finding her person, she needs a man who can laugh along with her but is okay with him laughing at her too when the moment calls for it. Katie is looking for a mature man who has ambitions to succeed in everything he does, both personally and professionally. Her dream man will be passionate about building a long-term life with her and will treat Katie as his equal in the relationship. Nothing turns her off more than someone who sits around playing video games all day or a man who tries to kiss her at the inopportune moment…it’s all about creating the right vibe with Katie! Will Matt be able to live up to Katie’s standards?” 

ELIMINATED: Brittany

Brittany is a 23-year-old model from Chicago. 

“Brittany is a sexy and sassy woman who is ready to take a different approach to her dating life. Single for the first time in a long time, this serial monogamist is ready to break out of her Chicago bubble and experience love with a new type of man. She describes herself as a social butterfly that, in a pre-COVID world, loves to go out and have a good time. She dreams of moving to New York City, finding love that broadens her horizons and traveling the world with the man of her dreams. Her ideal man will be fun, mature and trusting. She can’t be with a man who won’t let her live her life, and says she has no time for unnecessary drama. Even though she’s only 23, if the right guy comes along, she says she is ready to get engaged. Will Matt be the one to show this beauty that true love is worth settling down for? Only time will tell.”

ELIMINATED: Magi

Magi is a 32-year-old pharmacist from Adwa, Ethiopia. She lives in Virginia now, and Chris Harrison seems to be obsessed with her. “She’s sweet, impossible not to love her,” he said. “She is the American dream.” 

“Magi is a beautiful, kindhearted woman whose striking looks are only a small part of her story. She grew up in small village in Ethiopia, and while she says moving to the U.S. was the scariest thing she has ever done, she doesn’t regret it one bit. Magi was only able to move here after she literally won the Diversity Visa Lotto. She is so grateful for all the opportunities she’s been given in life and knows firsthand to never take anything for granted. People often describe her as being too nice, but she sees her kindness as her biggest strength and knows there is power and resilience behind it. She is loyal, honest and has a very positive outlook on the world. Magi is looking for a partner in life—someone she can share everything with and who has a love and compassion for culture like she does. When she’s not working or studying to further her career, she loves to explore her town’s historical buildings, drink wine at her favorite local restaurants and spend nights in with her girlfriends watching movies. Meeting Matt will be a very new and exciting experience for Magi—she grew up in a place where arranged marriages were very common, so she is excited to be here to show the women back home that everyone deserves to choose who they love!” 

ELIMINATED: Ryan

Ryan is a 26-year-old dancer and choreographer from Brooklyn, New York. 

“In her everyday life, Ryan strives to be just like Wonder Woman—a symbol of empowerment for women, someone who pushes herself, has a good heart and cares about the well-being of all. She’s worked incredibly hard to achieve success in the dance world and just like in any good routine, she is hoping to find a partner in life with whom she has undeniable chemistry. Ryan is looking for a man with a kind heart who has more to talk about than just work. She loves when her man pays extra attention to the little things, and says a guy who can handle conflict with poise and grace is a huge turn-on. Service of others is also important to Ryan, so someone that is focused on giving back to the community is a huge plus. Above all, she wants a man who exhibits good husband qualities and someone who shares similar values and beliefs. Ryan intends to only get married once and we can’t wait to see if Matt is the partner she’s been looking for all along.” 

ELIMINATED: MJ

MJ is a 23-year-old hairstylist from Hudson, OH. She’s big and bold and everybody’s hype woman. She has a very unusual phobia. 

“MJ is a beauty expert who sees the beauty of life in all that she does. MJ grew up on a small island in Lake Erie where she loved being outdoors and on the water. She is passionate about making people feel better about themselves and says that her calling in life is to make the world a more beautiful place. MJ wants a man who will be just as giving as she is and will shower her with the reciprocated love she deserves. She dreams of settling down with someone reliable, decisive and family oriented, and says that she needs a man who will be as fiercely loyal to her as she is to them. MJ is very social and wants to find a man who will let her maintain her independence and won’t add unnecessary drama to her life. She loves a man with a plan but has no interest in someone with an inflated ego or unrealistic expectations. She also cannot deal with someone who is never on time. MJ is charming and memorable and once she enters “The Bachelor” bubble, we don’t think Matt will have any trouble keeping her on his mind.” 

ELIMINATED: Catalina

Catalina is 29 and the former Miss Puerto Rico from Caguas, Puerto Rico. 

“Catalina is a woman of the world! She was born in South America, raised in a small Caribbean island and has lived in New York City. Catalina says that these varied locations have given her appreciation for humanity on a global level. She admits she probably has watched one too many rom-coms in her life and says she is here to find her forever Prince Charming. Catalina wants a tall man who will never say no to the adventure of the day. She is a ‘you only live once’ kind of person and lives for new and unique experiences. Although Catalina doesn’t want to have kids tomorrow, family is incredibly important to her and says that a man who doesn’t want to have children of their own is an absolute deal breaker. Catalina has big dreams and needs someone who can keep up with her because she has no plans of slowing down anytime soon. ‘To me, life is amazing and I am indeed very goal-driven, but no accomplishment is of much value if I don’t have the one to share it with.'” 

ELIMINATED: Lauren

Lauren is a 29-year-old corporate attorney from Miami, FL. She’s one of the quieter women but knows how to turn it on when it counts, especially on a group date. She’s a “tough right jab.” 

“Lauren is a Florida girl through and through! She is a successful corporate lawyer who recently had her law reviews published. In Lauren’s free time, she enjoys fashion, going to the beach, working out and spending time with her girlfriends in their book club. Lauren has everything going for her, but now she wants someone to share in her many successes! She is looking for someone who is genuine and authentic. She needs to feel that the man she is with truly has her back in any situation thrown their way. Lauren is hoping for a family of her own one day, so she needs a mature family man that is on the same page. Not wanting to have kids is a major deal breaker for Lauren. She says that none of the guys she has dated in the past have truly been her best friend, and she’s hoping to change that here with Matt.” 

ELIMINATED: Mari

Mari is a 24-year-old marketing director from Odenton, MD. She’s originally from Puerto Rico and is another former pageant queen. She was introduced to the show by Alayah, from Peter Weber‘s season. She tried to steer clear of drama but didn’t do a great job. 

“Mari is a former beauty queen living the American dream. After moving to Maryland from Puerto Rico as a teenager, Mari enrolled in college and competed in pageants—most recently winning Miss Maryland USA in 2019 and placing Top 10 at Miss USA. Now, she is a career-focused woman on the go who is ready to find the love of her life and settle down. She says that as a partner, she is very nurturing and thoughtful, and hopes to find a man who values her and gives her the same. She describes herself as a romantic, thoughtful, “all-in” partner, and loves to make her significant other happy by cooking for them, planning small surprises and giving massages. Mari loves her job and says it’s very important that she have her own thing going for her. She also loves that she can work completely remote because she can’t wait to have kids and wants to be a working mom that shows young women they truly can have it all!” 

ELIMINATED: Victoria

Victoria is 27 and from Los Angeles, and she refers to herself as a queen. “You’re gonna enjoy Queen Victoria,” Chris Harrison says. 

“Victoria, or Queen Victoria as she likes to refer to herself, has outgrown her “once upon a time” jetsetter lifestyle but not her sense of grandeur. Victoria has shifted focus towards entrepreneurship and has launched a few businesses in the health and beauty space. Victoria knows she has a big personality and needs a strong man who can keep up but who won’t be controlling in any way, shape or form. The top things Victoria’s needs in a relationship are loyalty, honesty and independence. Meditation and spirituality play a huge role in Victoria’s life and to find someone who also is would be a huge plus for her. Victoria loves romance, and with her love language being physical touch, she hopes to find someone who appreciates that side of her. Victoria truly has no filter, which she loves about herself, and plans to be very forward in her pursuit of Matt. This girl knows what she wants, and good luck to anyone who tries to stop her!” 

ELIMINATED: Anna

Anna is a 24-year-old from Owatonna, MN who now lives in Chicago. She’s a copywriter with a big, bubbly personality and a great voice. “She gives great face,” Chris Harrison says. She finds herself embroiled in one of the most dramatic moments of the season.

“Anna is a small-town girl, living the big city life. She was born and raised in a tiny town in Minnesota, and at an early age, her parents nicknamed her Hollywood, thanks to her affinity for chic scarves and oversized sunglasses. As much as she loved her childhood filled with Friday nights at the local bowling alley and family dinners at Applebee’s, this high school cheerleading captain knew she was meant for something bigger. Now, she lives in Chicago and says she is living the life she always envisioned for herself. She is looking for a man who will take her as the open book that she is—the good, the bad and the ugly. She wants a man who wants to have a family just as much as she does, and who will have no problem being open and honest in communication. Due to her Gemini vibes, she needs someone who is a match for her intellect but will also always want to keep life fun. Oh … and her dream guy must enjoy doing puzzles with her!” 

ELIMINATED: Kaili

Kaili is 26 and works in the club scene in Chicago, which Chris says is an important thing to remember. It leads to her being involved in a big, dramatic storyline this season. Kaili also has one of the “boldest ever” entrances on night one. 

“Kaili says she doesn’t like to take herself too seriously, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t serious about finding love! Kaili is witty, charismatic, not afraid to laugh at herself, and is hoping to find those same qualities in her future husband. She loves to show affection through spending quality time with her partner, performing acts of service and making sure that her man knows their voice is being heard. When she is in love, she says that there is no one you would rather have in your corner because her loyalty is unwavering. The man of her dreams is introspective, empathetic and can join her on her daily sunset runs on the beach followed by a romantic picnic. She says she’s never dated anyone that her family has truly been excited about and she’s hoping to change that when Matt comes into the picture!” 

ELIMINATED: Khaylah

Khaylah is a 28-year-old healthcare advocate originally from North Carolina, which is also where Matt is from. She “surprises herself,” Chris says. 

“Khaylah is a unique soul that is driven and passionate about the health work she does in her community. While she loves that her work means a lot to the people of Durham, it means so much more to her because life is all about giving back. Khaylah has been overly committed to her job, but she doesn’t look at that negatively. However, she’s now able to focus on herself and put herself first. Khaylah says she is a hopeless romantic and that she is looking for a man to truly sweep her off her feet! She says she can be shy at first, but once she feels that spark, it’s on! Nothing turns Khaylah on more than a respectful man with emotional intelligence and a desire to give back. A life full of love and service is one that Khaylah is dedicated to, and we think that together, she and Matt can make the world a better place.” 

ELIMINATED: Kim

Kim is 28 and an ICU nurse from Los Angeles. 

“Kim is incredible. She works as an ICU nurse in the No. 1 heart surgery center; and after spending the last year fighting tirelessly on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, she is here to tend to her own heart. Kim can’t wait to meet Matt and hopefully give herself a much-deserving chance at finding true love. At first glance, Kim may come off shy, but there is so much more to this woman that meets the eye—she loves to play pool, dance and says she is a total thrill-seeker who loves to get her adrenaline pumping. She tends to wear the pants in the relationships and needs a man who is confident and won’t be intimidated by her professional success. Kim is truly looking for her equal counterpart to share her life with. She’s here to focus on herself and hopefully return home with Matt James by her side.” 

QUIT: Sarah

Sarah is a 24-year-old broadcast journalist from San Diego, CA. She’s also a trained fire dancer and comes from a very tight-knit family and catches feelings from Matt really quickly. 

“Sarah has always dreamed of finding her fairytale ending. She comes from an incredibly close-knit family and says that her parents are the true example of the loving and loyal relationship that she wants for herself one day. Sarah has been in two serious relationships, but unfortunately neither turned out to be her Prince Charming. Sarah enjoys traveling, trying new foods, going to concerts, tennis, hiking and biking. She is hoping to find a man who prioritizes fitness and a healthy lifestyle just as much as she does and wants someone who will turn every day into an adventure better than the last. One thing that is very important to Sarah is finding a man whose commitment to faith is as strong as hers. She hopes to one day be in a power couple that when they’re not spending time with their kids, they are doing work for the community and giving back to children in need. Sarah is truly a hopeless romantic. Will Sarah get the fairytale ending that she has always wanted with Matt? Only time will tell.” 

ELIMINATED: Alana

Alana is a 26-year-old photographer from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She reminds Chris of Kaitlyn Bristowe and goes Lady & the Tramp for her limo arrival. 

“Alana has always taken the road less traveled. Instead of taking the traditional college path after high school, Alana leaned into her desire for adventure and moved to Europe where she enrolled in different programs throughout Europe. She calls this decision her greatest accomplishment yet because it took her on a journey of self-discovery and exploration that really shaped her into the independent woman she is today. Adventure is definitely a key component to Alana’s life—her latest one being a move to Toronto completely on a whim. When Alana isn’t off exploring the world, she loves spending her free time sipping bubbles at local wineries, painting or cooking, and is here with hopes of finding a man to share in the everyday pleasures of life. Will this journey be the greatest adventure of her life? We can’t wait to find out!” 

ELIMINATED: Illeana

Illeana is 25 and from South Salem, NY. She’s a health food developer and Chris says that means she’s developing an “energy ball.” 

“Illeana is a perfect mix of beauty and brains. She is an entrepreneur who recently co-developed her own nutritional snack called “Funky Monkey Energy” and has big dreams of making a name for herself in the health food world. After ending her last relationship of four and a half years and living her best life in Manhattan, Ill eana says she is ready to settle down and find her missing puzzle piece. She has done the work to know exactly what she wants out of her partner and says that first and foremost, she needs someone whose values align with hers. Illeana is the type of woman who would rather cuddle up on the couch with a glass of wine and spend quality time together pondering life’s unsolvable mysteries than hit the town and go barhopping. She is looking to find her best friend and to create the kind of love that makes you glow from the inside out. She says she loves love more than anything and knows she’s found it when she and her man feel invincible to the world.”

ELIMINATED: Kristin

Kristin is 27 and an attorney from Virginia Beach, VA who Chris says is not to be debated, because she will win. 

“Kristin is a very smart and successful attorney who says that while she dreams of finding her perfect match, her busy career and professional ambitions haven’t left her with too much spare time to date. Kristin is truly wifey material—not only is she beautiful, but she is fiercely loyal, intelligent and credits her unmatched work ethic to her incredible mother who raised her. Kristin says she is definitely the party starter and needs a man who won’t be intimidated by her natural magnetism. She also needs someone who isn’t afraid of being openly affectionate because with Kristin, personal space goes out the window. Kristin wants a man who will let her be their biggest cheerleader and who will in turn be the same for her. If you want to get an edge with Kristin, she says pink roses are the way to her heart, but maybe a red rose from Matt may suffice in this case.” 

ELIMINATED: Marylynn

Marylynn is a 28-year-old event coordinator from Studio City, CA. She’s one of the more emotional women who is no stranger to tears and is up there with Ashley I. She has a really moving childhood story and accidentally finds herself in a big feud, “some unexpected roommate drama.” 

“Marylynn needs a man who is ready to commit and not afraid to wear his heart on his sleeves. She wants a stable man who will love her unconditionally, someone who is loyal to the core and who would be a rock for her when life throws the inevitable curve ball their way. In five years, Marylynn hopes to be married with two or more rescue dogs, and living a productive, inspirational, healthy life with the support of her man by her side. She hopes to start several companies focused around promoting environmental welfare and healthy lifestyle choices, and will need her soul mate to share her goals of making the world a better place. She doesn’t see herself with anyone who is lazy, introverted or someone who doesn’t prioritize their heath and hygiene.  She says that finding her life partner has always been a top priority and that experiencing true and undeniable love is the ultimate goal because it is something so special and unique. Will Matt be Marylynn’s person, or will her search for the perfect love story continue on?” 

ELIMINATED: Sydney

Sydney is a 28-year-old marketing specialist from Nashville, TN. She doesn’t shy away from telling it like it is and is very blunt but a true romantic at heart. She’s allergic to avocados. 

“Sydney is a strong, opinionated woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to vocalize it. If her family could use one word to describe Sydney, it would be “opinionated”…and Sydney wholeheartedly agrees saying her role in life is to give facts over being a shoulder to cry on. Sydney may come off as tough, but just because she’s blunt doesn’t mean she isn’t also a romantic at heart. Though Sydney says she is not your typical southern belle, she says she is a traditional romantic and hopes to find a man who will put effort into wooing her. She has always believed that opposites attract and dreams of finding a man with a mellow demeanor to balance out her outgoing personality. She hates awkward dinner conversation and says a man with big goals for the future is her biggest turn-on. Sydney wants someone who will bring what she does to a relationship—love, loyalty, motivation and support—and says that she’s not looking to settle for any average Joe Schmoe. Nothing bothers Sydney more than people who beat around the bush, so let’s hope Matt is ready to get straight to the point with Sydney!” 

ELIMINATED: Saneh

Saneh is a 25-year-old IT consultant from Denver, CO. She’s got a big personality and a lot of energy and has a very creative limo entrance. 

“Beautiful Saneh has a contagious zest for life! From swimming with sharks in South Africa to being inducted into the University of Florida Hall of Fame for outstanding leadership, service and academic achievement, nothing is out of reach for her. This energetic Florida native has a thousand-watt smile and is here to find a man she can proudly bring home to meet her family in Florida. After learning a lot from her last serious relationship, Saneh has a refreshed outlook on life and feels that Matt could be that perfect addition she has been looking for. She describes her perfect man as selfless, ambitious, considerate and empathetic. She loves any activity that puts her in the great outdoors—from hiking and kayaking to sunrise yoga at Red Rocks Amphitheater—and hopes to find a partner who will always be up for an adventure with her. Saneh wants nothing more than to go on the adventure of a lifetime with the hopes of finding a love that will be life-changing. We hope so too!”
