The Bachelor February 8, 2021 Eliminated Katie, Brittany, Ryan, MJ & Magi (Recap)
Hey Bachelor Nation fans. Tonight, February 8, 2021, another new episode of The Bachelor did indeed hit the airwaves, and some more unlucky women got sent packing before it was all over with.
Tonight’s episode kicked off with the continuation of MJ and Jessenia getting pulled aside to talk with Matt about their drama. MJ and Jessenia just couldn’t stop bickering back and forth about who was right and who was wrong.
Finally, Matt showed up and asked to talk with Jessenia. She told Matt that MJ started all the division in the house and that she lied to Matt about not knowing anything about it. “Everything she does comes from a place of malice,” she said.
MJ told Matt, “My heart is so big ,and I’m trying to show that to you. I’m mentally and emotionally exhausted by what Jessenia has done.” Matt said, “I wouldn’t expect to hear about those things being associated with your name.”
MJ said, “I never lied. I would never tear people down. That’s not who I am.” Matt said, “I would never expect that from you, and I was surprised to hear it. I got a lot of things to think about.” Then, he gave her a hug.
From there, MJ and Jessenia argued some more. Matt told the private cams, “I like MJ a lot. Jessenia has never given me a reason not to trust her. I like them both, but I don’t see how I can continue with both of them here. I’m conflicted.”
Finally, Matt told MJ, “I can’t give this rose. Can I walk you out? MJ told the private cams of Matt, “He’s still a great guy. I want the best for him. It’s just a shame he didn’t see it in me. Jessenia sabotaged me. Hopefully, he’ll see the truth about her.”
After all of that, host Chris Harrison told the rest of the ladies, “There will be no cocktail party. Matt’s exhausted ,and he knows what he wants to do.” So, they went straight to the rose ceremony.
Just before the rose ceremony, Serena C blamed Katie for bringing up the issue of toxicity in the house in the first place. Katie told Serena C, “Why are you worried about me?”
At the rose ceremony, Matt gave roses to: Serena P, Michelle, Pieper, Bri, Chelsea,Katie and Serena C.
That means poor Ryan, Magi and Brittany did not get a rose. They all gave Matt a nice hug goodbye.
Next, we saw footage of Pieper getting a 1 on 1 date card from Matt. Then, they showed Serena C going to confront Katie again.
Serena C told Katie, “Time has been taken away because of your antics.” Katie told Serena C, “The fact that you’re confronting me over this is pathetic. You take up so much of my energy, and it’s a waste. I honestly thought you were coming to apologize for confronting me earlier.” Serena C told Katie, “You keep setting up drama everywhere. You’re like an arsonist.” Then, they just kept bickering back and forth.
Serena C went back and told the other girls, “I don’t think Katie is really here for Matt.” Katie walked in and said, “That’s an absolute lie and don’t speak for me. If you have a problem with me, go take it up with Matt.” Serena C said,”I don’t want to waste my time talking with Matt about you.”
Next, Heather Martin from Colton Underwood’s season of The Bachelor showed up. Chris Harrison asked Heather, “What are you doing here?” Heather said, “A friend told me Matt is the perfect guy for you. I can’t let him get engaged without meeting him.” Chris said, “I need to talk with some other people to get permission first.”
Next, Matt and Pieper went on their 1 on 1 date. Matt took Pieper to an amusement park. They appeared to have a lot of fun. During the second half of their date, Pieper talked about her upbringing and that it was hard for her to let people in.
Matt said, “We can work on that today. I’m challenging you to be open with me so I can be there for you.” Pieper said, “Please, be patient with me. I don’t want to be afraid of expressing my feelings anymore. I am falling in love with you.”
Matt said, “I want to be there for you. Will you accept this rose.” She did, and they kissed. Then, Matt took Pieper to a private concert by the band Temecula Road. During it, they danced and kissed some more.
Next, they showed footage of Heather Martin revealing that she was quarantining to compete for Matt.
Then, Bri, Kit, Rachael, Michelle, Jessenia, Serena P, Abigail, Chelsea and Serena C all went on a group date with Matt. He took them bowling. At one point, Chris Harrison showed up to break them in to two teams. The winning team got to go to the afterparty with Matt. The losing team had to go home.
The pink team of: Jessenia, Michelle , Serena P and Chelsea won. So, the losing team of: Abigail, Serena C, Kit, Rachael and Bri lost. Abigail expressed a lot of discouragement because she hasn’t spent as much alone time with Matt as she would like.
However, Chris Harrison eventually returned to the house with a note from Matt, telling the losing team they could come join the afterparty ,after all, because Matt felt he needed them there. Needless to say, they were very happy about that.
At the afterparty, Matt talked with Michelle. They said they were happy with each other and kissed. Matt talked with Jessenia. He talked with Serena P. Serena told him, “I am falling for you,” and they kissed. Matt talked with Chelsea. He reassured a doubting Chelsea that they’re solid, and they kissed.
At the end of the group date, Matt gave Michelle the group date rose saying, “I love how much you make me feel at ease when I’m around you.”
Next, Matt went to hang out with former Bachelorette contestant Tyler Cameron from Hannah Brown’s season. Tyler is his best friend, and they talked about Matt’s experience so far. Tyler, of course, gave Matt words of encouragement.
Then, Matt went on his 1 on 1 date with Katie. She gave him a giant hug. Then, he told her they’re going to play a trick on Tyler via his masseuse. Matt and Katie told the masseuse what to do to Tyler from a different room. They told the masseuse to do things like pinch his nipples and roll a roller real hard on his back.
Then, they had the masseuse make a fake phone call, bragging about how she’s messaging Tyler C from the Bachelorette right now. Finally, Matt came in to massage Tyler while he was laying on his stomach. Eventually, Tyler turned over, and they started laughing.
During the second half of Matt and Katie’s 1 on 1 date, Katie greeted Matt with another big hug and kiss. Katie told Matt this date meant so much to her. They talked about being playful on their date with the whole Tyler Cameron prank.
They talked about her past relationships. She said, “I’m here to the end with you if you want me to be.” She definitely seemed more into him than he was into her, and he solidified that by not giving her a rose. He told her, “Other relationships have progressed further at this point.”
After that, Matt walked Katie out to her exit car, and she gave him a hug and wished him good luck. She said, “I hope you find everything you deserve.” Katie told the private cams, “I didn’t see that coming. I don’t regret being myself. It just sucks that I wasn’t enough.”
At the cocktail party, Matt talked with Abigail. Matt told her, “I look forward to seeing you every night,” and they kissed. Matt also kissed Bri at one point.
Then, Heather Martin finally showed up after quarantining was over to crash in on Matt talking with Pieper. Heather asked Matt if she could talk with him. He was shocked to see her,and he asked Pieper if she could give them a minute.
Pieper acted like she was ok with it, but she was livid when she left the room. She said to the rest of the girls, “What the heck was that?” The other girls were, of course, angry over Heather’s arrival.
Meanwhile, Matt and Heather started laughing it up together. Heather told Matt, “I have something to tell you.” Then, we got the “To Be Continued” treatment from ABC. So, we’ll have to wait around until next week to see what happens next.
Just to recap, Matt got rid of poor Katie, Brittany, Ryan, MJ and Magi in this episode.
The next, new episode of The Bachelor 2021 edition with Matt James is scheduled to air next Monday night, February 15, 2021 at approximately 7 pm central standard time on ABC.
