Literally Toxic - The Bachelor Breakdown Matt's Season Week 4 RECAP 

Come on in. Get your virtual hug 🤗🤗🤗

I’m not being over dramatic when I say that Anna accusing Brittany of being a escort based on nothing and being delighted to spread the rumor is one of the most malicious things I’ve seen a contestant do.

victoria taking catalina's crown off was so disrespectful?! imagine entering a show and being literally bullied by a bunch of girls and it's because of something you couldn't even control.

Katie really needs to be the bachelorette. She’ll be straightforward, fun and serious about love. I would loooooove to watch her season.

I don’t think the producers realize that we are done with seeing women tear down other women. Or just people bullying in general.

I've never disliked a girl on this show as much as I dislike Anna, not even Victoria or Peter's girls. The look on her face while she's ruining someone's life is vile.

When Katie is the only person in bachelor history to address a toxic environment to help improve other situations WITHOUT tattling and calling out specific ppl

They acting like Michelle was the one who picked MATT????? Its not what"you" think is fair; its what Matt thinks and apparently he's thinking of MICHELLE

If Katie isn’t the bachelorette I’ll be genuinely upset. She’s the ONLY girl that we’ve seen stick up for the women being picked on, she 100% deserves it the most. She’s mature, fun, sweet. She’d be a phenomenal bachelorette

Katie is the mature woman I for some reason thought MJ. Happy Katie is a great person and sad that MJ turned out to be one of the mean girls

I want Tayshia to give everyone a tutorial on how to be the lead before their seasons start

Crazy how Victoria is calling Miss Universe Puerto Rico “the dumbest bitch” when she’s actually a lawyer licensed in 3 states, a book author and a REAL QUEEN

katie is literally so compassionate and kind and it's so sad to see these traits missing in most of the other girls.

The real villains here are the producers for encouraging this nonsense and toxic soup.

The producer involvement this season is HORRIBLE. I feel like Matt had the potential to be a good lead but the drama with the women just contaminates the season.

I feel like Matt's been awkward with every other girl but Michelle, they're so good together!!

they said there was a record number of women wanting to be on this season and THESE are the ones they chose???

At this point, Matt is a side character in his own season and rather than focusing on romance and love connections, the show is focused on bullying and toxicity. Last nights episode and the one prior were disgusting to watch. The behavior of Anna, MJ, Victoria, and every girl on the group of “OGs” talking trash about the “newbies” when Katie spoke up during the date all need to go home.

I really didn’t think it was possible for me to dislike a cast more than I disliked Peter’s cast, but...here we are. Don’t get me wrong, some of these women are real gems, but why are so many of these girls immature, toxic bullies? Bachelor Producers, bullying isn’t the “drama” we want. 🤦🏻‍♀️

i just don’t understand how grown women can act like that when they know they’re being filmed for national television???

This season literally has some of the most malicious and disgusting creatures I've ever seen as contestants. Also I'll say it again: Katie is the most decent person in that house to me. She's the only one standing up to the bullies and pulling the victims aside to hear their side of the story and give them a helping hand. She has so much compassion and strength. She's definitely getting a great edit on the show, so I hope that means she'll end up becoming the mature bachelorette we all deserve.

It's honestly so frustrating at this point how much the producers focus on selling all of this mean spirited bullying as entertaining television. A lot of these women seem really despicable (like Victoria, Anna, MJ, etc.) in how they've been acting, but I also get the sense that there are some probably really genuine women on the show that they haven't been focusing on enough. Obviously Katie has really stood out as someone who is classy, but additionally some other women like Bri, Rachel, Magi, Serena, Abigail, and now Michelle seem to be staying out of all of this (at least from the way it's edited). I don't doubt that they have less horrible footage to show, but clearly the producers have not learned anything from how well Tayshia's season went. I really don't know if I can stand watching an episode all about shaming a woman for potentially being an escort. Edit: I'm also not saying it's always okay to be a bystander, and in an ideal situation all of the women who haven't really been involved in this would be more like Katie and try to stop the bullying, but I could very much see how, if they're trying to stay out of the drama, it'd be a lot less clear to them what was actually going on. As the audience we're presented with a pretty clear narrative of 'good guy, bad guy', and we see conversations that not all the other women get to see, but at the same time we DON'T see a lot of stuff. Essentially, on such a heavily edited show it's a lot easier to judge actions (like Victoria being overall despicable and Katie being an upstander), compared to inactions.

I had high hopes for this season but now it’s just...gag. Can’t we just have episodes with Matt and Michelle’s date and other rational adults?

The most toxic group of girls. I’m so over this season. If the producers were trying to do something here, they failed.

When Victoria said “then get out of the house” we see a person laughing with her but their face is cropped out (which was Abigail). We’ve seen that she participated in the Sarah drama and laughing with Victoria does not give her a good image. I think producers are trying to give her a good edit for a chance at bachelorette.

Since Matt clearly won’t do it, I’ll do: “Katie, may I have your hand in marriage please 🥺”

Wasn’t there a literal segment on Peter’s season of the bachelor about bullying?? Why is this show continuing to condone this behavior by giving these girls all the screen time??? Their behavior is disgusting and scary

Thank you for calling out the sex work-shaming and rumor-spreading . It’s unacceptable that production included all of that in the episode. It’s not just mean-spirited, it’s a safety concern!

ABC and the Bachelor producers really need to answer for this whole “escort” narrative. As was said in the video, it’s dangerous and wildly exploitative wether it’s true or not. It’s not something that should be tossed around for drama.

My fiancé is only vaguely aware of what's going on because I watch the show and he catches glimpses of it here and there and he walked into the living room last night, saw Victoria, stopped in his tracks, and went: "WHY IS SHE STILL HERE!?!?!?!?!??!" Even a casual observer is sick of this girl

Katie shutting Victoria down (when Victoria asked for an apology) had to be the highlight of this episode for me. I would be thrilled if Katie were to become the next bachelorette.

I wish Katie said, "Let me get this straight. You want me to apologize to you because I asked you to stop calling a girl who is no longer here to defend herself trash?"

Did anyone not catch the part where Victoria said “then get out of the house to Britney” and laughed and looked at Abigail and it sounded like Abigail also laughed. They didn’t show of course cause she’s a fan fav and in the running for bachelorette? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I love how *NOT-TOXIC* this community is. Thank you for bemoaning such horrible behavior, Bachelor Fantake! Love Michelle & Katie. Our little islands of kindness & sanity amidst the headaches from much of the rest of the cast.

matt seems to be a nice guy so the relationships with the women look nice. However with Michelle it really seems like they’re a match. I haven’t seen that amount of chemistry with the other girls

The level of contempt he has for Victoria is sending me

Imagine the producers interviewing Victoria for the show and being like "YUP, THIS IS THE ONE"

I am physically sick to my stomach and so disgusted after watching this episode. Any chance of liking Matt or being invested in his journey now is just long gone. It is so uncomfortable to watch these girls treat each other they way they have, because the producers knowingly picked THESE people to come on the show. Even if something did come out of left field - they see and hear what the girls are saying. They just don't care.

why does anna talk like shes speaking into a fan lmaoo

Theory 1: When people aren't allowed to read, learn, access diverse entertainment, or leave, and are instead forced to focus on one topic, they can get really, really mean and vengeful towards one another. References: The Salem Witch Trials, the Bachelor Theory 2: Some people just suck References: see previous

Damn Victoria just keeps getting worse and worse. She's like the embodiment of Fergie singing the national amthem amd her twits aren't helping. I think I'd rather watch Peter's season than this garbage

Why does nobody talk about the fact that a lot of the other girls are enabling their mean girl behavior?

This drama is so disgusting and toxic. I just feel like ABC needs to be held accountable because they are endorsing this bullying for ratings. It's so disappointing and just disgusting - I have no words.

Controversial theory: we haven't seen much of Abigail because she was involved way more into the drama and is getting a better edit. Evidence: 11:42 the person laughing with Victoria after her "get out of the house" comment is Abigail 😬

Dude the girls on this season are so freaking vicious. Then when they say crap like “I love us” after crapping on other girls maliciously. What the heck. And even Abigail was laughing when Victoria was being pure evil. Horrible.

I think I am the only person that doesn't like Abigail but I don't understand why people are obsessed with her.. She was apart of the mob mentality attacking Sarah and you can see the producers cut her out of Victoria and her making fun of Brittany but could still see it was her. But I guess we'll see, or not because producers only show what they want..

Anna is such a bully for spreading unsubstantiated rumors!

we don’t deserve bachelor fantake, he rewatched this episode for us

When Fantake says “what a horrible/repugnant thing...” it’s actually him wanting to curse someone out for allowing this to go on and honestly... felt.

I can’t believe these girls and their entitlement. Matt can spend his time and give his roses out to WHOEVER! HE! WANTS! I’m grossed out by this immaturity......also...I LOVE MICHELLE!!! I was skeptical of her being your top pick but after this episode I am convinced he’ll pick her in the end :))

Victoria snatching the crown like she snatched those items out of the store

Peter’s season: thirsty wannabe influencers Matt’s season: Mean Girls feat. The knock off version of Tori Kelly, Evil Veneer Chomp girl & (the ring leader of them all) Ick-toria 🥴 Anyone else ready to just give up on the franchise??? 😅

"I apologize to all three year olds..." Perfect.

The chemistry between Matt and Michelle leaps off the TV screen! It's undeniable. I'm choosing Michelle as the last woman standing at the end of Matt's journey.

The definitive best part of this episode was the hot air balloon operator crouching down in the tiny little basket so they should get a nice wide shot of Matt and Michelle making out. Guy deserves a raise.

Anna has instagram comments limited right now too, I guess she can dish nasty comments but can't take them

11:41 wait...did Abbigail laugh with Victoria when she said "Then get out he house." 😐

We have no choice but to STAN Katie

Anyone else just super happy to see a real deep conversation between Matt and Michelle? Feels like I haven’t seen a lot of that in this or last season of the bachelor.

"Welcome back to another edition of 'Why Am I Watching This If It Makes Me So Angry They Don't Even Give Abigail Screen Time And I'm Really Just Here For Katie Who I Know Matt Isn't Going To Pick Anyways'!" Waaaaaay too accurate...

This season could be a psychological case study for group think and mob mentality. I swear after this episode we are in Lord of the Flies territory.

I hope Anna realizes how harmful those kinds of rumors can be. That must have been devastating for Brittany to hear :(

did anyone notice that at 11:40 when Victoria said that, Abigal is the one next to her that laughed 😢

Name a more evil duo than Anna and Victoria...you can't do it.

This should be titled “Shitting on Fake-Toria for fifteen minutes because she sucks” lol

Hey. Have anyone noticed that when Victoria said to Britanny something like: "then get out of the house" she turned to Abigail (Abigail was out of the frame) and started laughing with her? Not a great look for Abigail...

Can we pleaaaaaase start lobbying for Katie to be bachelorette?

I miss Tayshia and her guys

When anna’s lips didnt touch while talking

Victoria at this point is way beyond being out of control. She's a pandemic!

I was literally shaking from anger after watching this episode I've never seen grown women be so disgusting, malicious, disrespectful, and immature and that's coming from someone who is Kit's age... some people were raised so horribly wrong and entitled

Mom and Dad I want to go on the Bachelor and make a total fool of myself and potentially destroy my career over my toxic psychopathic attitude, AND embarrass our family to millions of people. Who does this? Whether this is acting or not, it's extremely bad behavior that's programming viewers minds. Bachelor Nation young girls watch this. THIS is NOT OK. Big thanks to Katie and Michelle for showing what inner beauty reflects outwardly.

The Bachelor franchise really gave us one of the more romantic and unproblematic seasons in a long time with Tayshia to just straight mean girls where no one has an actual connection with the lead

11:43 notice who Victoria is laughing with...is that our unproblematic queen Abigail?? I thought it was weird they didn't show the girl she was laughing with's face but it makes sense, they want Abigail to have a good edit. The dress in the corner matches up with what we saw Abigail wearing at 11:17. Hmmmmmm

what frustrates me the most is that besides katie none of the women confronted anyone about the bullying

I really dislike this whole cast. I don’t care that there are clear ring-leaders if you don’t say something you’re part of the problem. The only women I can stand at this point are Katie and the new girls. You can say what you want about the other women but they laugh along and don’t say anything to defend anyone.

So glad I wasn't the only person who thought of that office scene when poor Magi was floating away

I just don't understand how can they be so rude and mad at the new girls. It's not their fault that production decided they are going to come in late. Also it's like they don't know that Matt chooses who gets a one on one and that it's the girls fault that she got time with him

I'm not sure if I hate the producers or the cast more. First of all, the producers can see all this, they can view the footage and it's honestly kind of sad that nobody is gonna let Matt know abt any of these toxic ladies. It took Katie (who is a queen) to tell him?? I genuinely think Matt is trying to find a wife and if that's the case, he deserves to know about this. Just bc the producers want some drama they're gonna let women that are absolutely terrible people get through to Matt's heart. idk but that doesn't sit right with me. Moving on to the ladies. If the producers did put Victoria there to "have some fun" then they are horrible ppl bc she literally bullied out ppl that could've had a connection with Matt. In conclusion, Katie needs to be the new Chris Harrison, i cant even more. my funeral will be tmrw

Just wanna to take a second to recognize who shined this episode: Michelle, Katie, Pieper, Bri and Magi for me ✨✨

ahhh i clicked faster than it took victoria to start hating on the new girls 🤭

For all of you Abigail fans out there, in case you missed it, she chuckled when Victoria told Brittany to go home. After this episode, Matt's final choice should be a hell of a lot easier; as there are only a few decent women left.

my respect for Katie: 📈📈📈 my respect for the "OG group": 📉📉📉

“The new girl is so disrespectful for StEaLinG the 1on1” “they are just so ignorant” bruh they had no control over that! They have no say on when they come into the house, who gets the date, etc. why are you bullying them over something they have no control over!

At 11:50 when Victoria was making this disgusting joke Abigail was laughing (it’s her sitting next to Victoria) she was cut out by the producers probably the because they didn’t want her to look bad. Made me loose some of the respect I had for her

The new girls had no control on when they arrived so for the original girls to be letting out their anger on them is so ridiculous

I truly believe that the season is getting to the point where it’s about to cross the line into full on drama and toxicity. Might have to drop til hometowns

Victoria F was just the warm-up round for the final boss battle that is Queen Victoria

Anna is starting to remind me of Yzma from Emperor's New Groove.

My theory is that the group date day portion was cancelled because Matt wanted some time for himself after Sara left. During the evening they didn’t talk anything about the day activity.

Magi was so cute this episode

I really admire what’s been shown of Katie so far. I wish I was that confident and comfortable in myself. I actually watched the ep fast forwarding through most of it until scenes of Katie appeared lol.

The girl that is cackling with Victoria after saying then go home is Abigail.

I'm a typical dude and have never watched or been into this whole bachelor nonsense unless a girlfriend made me watch it or something, but you my friend are fucking hilarious and you've gotten me addicted to these recap videos. I don't even watch the show I just watch these recap videos haha. you got me dying.

Literally when the girl was stuck in the pumpkin, my sister was like “IT’S ANDY!”😂

Important Question!!!! Who here thinks this cast is worst than Peters?

6:30 “Slore”??? I heard that term for the first yesterday while watching season 1 of Keeping Up w/ the Kardashians. Victoria is really looking like 2000’s tween movie villain, huh.

Can we appreciate how everyone keeps asking for a more mature cast, and yet this is the most immature cast I have ever seen??

Did u guys notice how Abby was laughing when Victoria told Brittany to get out of the house. The camera didn’t pan to her but you can clearly hear her laugh and her shoulder move up and how and Victoria looking at her and laughing too. I was disappointed

The group dates: reading the raunchy stories...boxing each other...feels so humiliating and degrading... I'm sorry...
