The 18 contestants left on Matt James’ season will be in for quite a shock on episode 4 of “The Bachelor.”

After Sarah made her premature departure and Matt sent home Queen Victoria’s nemesis Marylynn, as well as three other women, the Season 25 cast will be expanded in next week’s episode.

New Cast Members

ABC’s synopsis for the Jan. 25 installment teases that host Chris Harrison will drop “a bombshell that will change the course of the season.” While the network hasn’t explicitly revealed what this means, the preview does shed some light on what viewers can expect.

Episode 4’s preview shows five new women arriving at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, apparently, much to Matt’s surprise. This, of course, rattles the remaining women. So, just who are the newcomers?

Spoiler blogger Reality Steve reports that the incoming women include Brittany Galvin, Catalina Morales, Kim Li, Michelle Young, and Ryan Clator. According to his findings, the new cast members will be “treated as outsiders” and “don’t immediately blend well with the others.”

Not one to shy away from drama, Victoria will continue her reign as this season’s villain in episode 4 by once again feuding with Katie. ABC’s hints a “trash-talking face-off” between the two will ensue as “emotions in the house continue to run high.”

One-On-One Date

The synopsis hints Chelsea will get the solo date this time around. During the episode, she will “get real with Matt about her journey to self-love.”

Group Dates
