2/5
This is the first Black Bachelor. And not only is he the first, he's the first Black Bachelor with absolutely no charisma and no defining qualities, who wants us all to know he's totally going to date 22-year-old white women. Go to Full Review Gwen Ihnat AV Club 01/05/2021

Unlike Colton ("I'm a virgin!") or Peter ("I'm a pilot!"), Matt genuinely appears to believe that this Bachelor process could actually work ("I think it can," he tells his cute mom), despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Go to Full Review Brooke Leigh Howard The Daily Beast 03/20/2021
The reality show did the exact opposite of what it was trying to do when it comes to representation. Go to Full Review Maria Sherman Jezebel 01/26/2021
The fairytale formula is starting to reveal its faults: No one seems real, the villains are cartoonish, and it's hard to tell who is actually invested in this process. Go to Full Review Laura Bradley The Daily Beast 01/05/2021
Matt's season is a long-overdue landmark for the franchise with its first Black male lead-a mantle that comes with serious pressures of its own. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Melissa C @RT52812773 03/08/2025 I have always liked this show. And today March 8th 2025 I see a commercial for the upcoming Women Tell ALL and I'm not good with remembering all these women but the one who speaks in preview regarding the bachelor thinking about another woman who is at the bachelor house while he is on a date with another woman is just plain dumb reasoning is she speaks and says I can't do that or live like that knowing you're thinking about another woman while you are spending time with me....DUH LADY WHAT THE HECK DO YOU THINK THE SHOW IS? AND ABOUT? IT'S ABOUT FINDING LOVE SO HE DEFINITELY WILL BE ON DATES WITH A WOMAN AND BE THINKING OF ANOTHER WOMEN BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE SHOW IS...WHICH YOU SIGNED UP FOR AND WHAT YOU KNEW YOU WERE GETTING INTO BUT THEN YOU ARE GOING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE BACHELOR THINKING ABOUT OTHER WOMEN WHILE HE'S WITH YOU...YOU TRULY NEED A WAKE UP CALL TO REALITY AND WHAT THE SHOW YOU SIGNED UP TO BE ON. AND REALIZE WHAT YOU SAY ON PUBLIC TELEVISION ABOUT THE BACHELOR THINKING ABOUT OTHER WOMAN WHILE ON A DATE WITH YOU , WHAT DO YOU THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN DUH SHOULDN'T OF SIGNED UP FOR THE SHOW TO BE ON IT IF YOU AREN'T MENTALLY STRONG ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE GAMES THAT COME ALONG WITH SIGNING UP FOR THE SHOW. See more 05/19/2022 A ridiculous TV show in which a guy can DATE a dozen girls at the same time, no sane person would do that in real life! GOLD DIGGER, bad values can also have a bad effect on teenagers! See more 03/16/2021 If I could give 0 stars I would. This was the worst season ever! Never watching this show again. I've been watching since the beginning but no more! The way they discarded Chris Harrison all the way to the stupid last episode! Horrible! So sick of the "wokeness" and everyone being a racist being shoved down our throats! See more 03/13/2021 Disgusting how many mean girls are on this season. See more 02/24/2021 This season has been the absolute worst season I have ever watched. There have always been a mean girl in the house, but this season is full of bullies. I'm done with this show.
