Season 25 of The Bachelor's leading man is Matt James, a handsome football player from Raleigh, North Carolina, and the first black Bachelor lead in the franchise's history. After only three episodes, Matt's season of The Bachelor has proven to be one of the most dramatic yet. Fans have taken to Twitter to create hilarious memes about everything from Victoria's questionable outfits to the girls' erotic stories.
These memes also express fans' frustrations at the over-the-top drama and borderline bullying that has been going on this season. But whether they love Matt's season so far or can't stand it, these 10 hilarious memes are sure to make fans laugh.
Love The Mess
Part of the fun of watching The Bachelor is enjoying that the show can sometimes be an absolute dramatic mess.
This Twitter meme features Marie Kondo, an organizing consultant who loves mess for a different reason than Bachelor fans. However, the meme perfectly sums up their excitement for the drama and chaos every week.
Close Your Eyes, Matt!
Many fans love Matt as the new Bachelor... except for one awkward habit. It has not gone unnoticed that Matt kisses with his eyes open. This unorthodox technique has fans a bit confused, though some have decided that they don't hate it.
Matt even Bachelorette contestant Tyler Cameron. He wrote, "Gotta make sure no one sneaking up on us! When your eyes are closed... ANYTHING can happen! It’s for both of our protection."
That Escalated Quickly
Fans loved that Matt started off week 1 with a prayer. They also loved the group date in week 3, where the contestants wrote and read erotic stories about Matt out loud.
Let's just say things got a little steamy and had to be bleeped out. The above meme hilariously shows the contrast between these two weeks. At least this season has plenty of variety in the contestant's activities.
Victoria's Dress
Victoria's dress in week 2 has been the talk of the internet. Her puffy sleeves and bra showing, in particular, have been a point of contention.
A lot of Twitter memes have been comparing her dress to things that look a little familiar, such as Deb's awful 80s dress with puffy sleeves in Napoleon Dynamite. Victoria is shaping up to be one of the most memorable contestants in Bachelor history.
Abigail And Matt's Secret Signal
Abigail has quickly become a fan favorite amongst Bachelor fans. In week 2, she told Matt that she wanted to have some sort of secret signal with him.
The pair decided they would touch their ears to signify blowing a kiss to each other. Fans quickly lost it at the cuteness of this signal, as pictured in the meme above of Kim Kardashian crying.
Bernie On The Bachelor
Recently, a picture of Bernie Sanders bundled up at President Joe Biden's inauguration has taken the internet by storm.
Bernie has been cropped into almost every photo and situation imaginable. Fans were screaming at this latest meme of him sitting with the girls on the Bachelor. We'd give him the rose.
Matt's Love Of Turtlenecks
Turtlenecks are apparently having a moment in Bachelor nation. In Tayshia's season of The Bachelorette, Brendan Morais wore turtlenecks to almost every rose ceremony. Now it seems that Matt is taking up the trend.
He's been seen wearing turtlenecks frequently in the first three episodes of the Bachelor. Stylist Cary Fetman also recently explained that "every time there's a chance that turtlenecks are in, I use it." Who could blame her? It's a great look.
The New Girl
In week 2, Serena P and Matt went on an adorable date complete with horseback riding and a picnic. Unfortunately, they were interrupted by a donkey who tried to in on the fun.
The above meme then hilariously combined this picture with Ashley P., an emotional cow that Jenna brought while introducing herself on Peter's season of The Bachelor.
Week 3
Week 3 has been the wildest yet in Matt's season and the above meme sums it up perfectly. To add a little context, Matt talked quite a bit about his love of turtles. He even wore turtle swim trunks on his date with Serena P.
Then some of the contestants acted like total Mean Girls and bullied Sarah, prompting Katie to remind everyone to stay classy. Oh, and Chris Harrison revealed that he wrote an erotic book. Is anyone else dying to read it?
Best Frenemies
Victoria and Kit became unlikely friends in week 3, even skipping into the group date with linked arms. However, it seems that this friendship has mostly come out of bonding over bullying Sarah.
It was rough to watch them relentlessly pick on her, and fans can only guess at how their toxic friendship will go next week. It's pretty reminiscent of a certain "friendship" from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
