#The Bachelor episode 9 spoilers: Matt James’ overnight dates

As we move into The Bachelor episode 9 next week on ABC, we’re entering another big point in the competition: Overnight dates!

Tonight, Serena P was eliminated, and that means that Bri, Michelle, and Rachael are now the final three hoping to get the last rose in the finale. We’re at a part of the show now where things are going to get intense and serious, and Matt will have to make a big decision: Who does he really see himself with?

For Matt, it feels clear that he’s the most into Rachael. That’s not who we personally see him with, and it’s not just because of what we’ve learned about her after the show. We just don’t think that the bond the two of them have is that deep. Michelle, meanwhile, just comes across as the most normal of the group — she already has an established job and a life, and Matt does seem into her even if she’s been there the shortest amount of time by far.
