Bachelor 2025 Featuring Alexe from NB! *SPOILERS*

Bachelor 2025: 

Episode Two saw Bachelor Grant and Alexe from NB go on a date. There was chemistry you guys.

Here is a stream-of-consciousness brief recap from the Bachelor containing spoilers...

- Alexe has the first one-on-one, since she got the first impression rose last week... they go on a picnic... but first, a bunch of the ladies play basketball and Zoe emerges as a villain...
- more on Zoe, the villain for this season... "While Grant is away, the other women confront Zoe about stealing Grant away during the slam dunk competition, but it doesn’t seem like Zoe regrets her decision at all, even though the other women felt disrespected by it."
- Alexe’s one-on-one date is the next. She and Grant went shopping in Los Angeles and did a bunch of date/ montage things... ice cream/ ping pong/banter... then a romantic candlelit dinner. During their picnic, they start to talk about their upbringing and their families. Zero people are surprised when Grant offers her a rose at the end of the night and she accepts it.
- SPOILERS! Going home last night were Rebekah, Ella, Allyshia and Vicky. 

BTW, follow Alexe on TikTok! It seems like she has some great friends...

- Episode One saw Bachelor Grant meet the 25 ladies looking for a love connection, he also met a Llama.
- He kissed so many contestants that he legit has the record for the Bachelor who kissed the most different contestants on-screen in an episode.
- ESPECIALLY NOTEWORTHY: Bachelor Grant gave out the first impression rose to Alexe Godin from New Brunswick ... they enjoyed what has been described as "a kiss-a-thon by the fire"... The first impression rose means that Alexe moves into the Love Mansion and she gets the first one-on-one date with Ellis. Her No Drama Llama also moves in, according to reports.
