4. She Was Moved to Tears by Matt’s Night 1 Speech
Rachael got emotional after Matt said a prayer during the January 4 premiere.
“I had a feeling that I was going to be infatuated with [Matt], but the fact that he opened up with a prayer, like, struck a nerve for me. I didn’t expect to feel like this so soon,” she gushed on the episode. “He’s pretty much everything I expected him to be and more.”
During an interview on Us’ “Here for the Right Reasons” podcast on February 2, Matt confirmed he had his eye on Rachael since the first night.
“Night one, what she chose to use her time with me to speak about was very intentional. And it wasn’t something that wasn’t going to progress our relationship,” he gushed to Us. “And then when I saw on the first group date, and I’m referring to all these instances that aren’t one-on-ones because that was how our relationship was lived out, you know, I hadn’t had that one-on-one time with her yet. And when I had that day to spend with her and really get to know her better, it just affirmed everything I had already felt.”
