'The Bachelor': Matt James kissing women with eyes open leaves fans cringing, viewers say 'eww! why?'

Viewers have been rewinding the show to witness the horror that is Matt James staring at the women, while kissing them, at point-blank range

Matt James made a pretty bang-on impression on the group of 32 women who are currently vying for his heart on Season 25 of 'The Bachelor'. He began the journey to know all the women and possibly find a wife with a prayer, a nod to his Christian faith with which he won a lot of hearts and there were a lot of tears and sniffles that overtook the room. Matt is also very popular on social media, a lot of viewers are finding it tough to collect their jaws from the floor after he makes shirtless appearances on the episodes or when he just displays his calm and collected self while hearing out the many vulnerabilities and insecurities of his suitresses.

However, there's something that he did, a lot of it, on Episode 2 that has made him the butt of all jokes on Twitter. Matt was seen kissing a couple of women and staring at them at the same time at point-blank range and audiences of the show on Twitter are roasting him for it. 

"Oh no! not Brenna rewinding to show me Matt kissing with his eyes open screaming “EWW! WHY IS HE DOING THAT” #TheBachelor," wrote one of the fans. Another posted, "Why do you kiss with your eyes open you psychopath?" "Matt you’re absolutely gorgeous but sir why are you kissing with your eyes open?#TheBachelor" tweeted another. "Why is this man kissing everyone with his eyes open lmao #TheBachelor," asked another fan. "Why is he kissing with his eyes open. I’m terrified #TheBachelor" read another tweet. "Matt kissing with his eyes open is creepyyyyy #TheBachelor," wrote another fan. 

Another highlight of Episode 2 of Season 25 of 'The Bachelor' was the drama Victoria was causing and fans were creeped out by her attitude. She wreaked havoc at the group date first, photobombing Mari and Matt's photoshoot but it didn't account for much. She then asked Matt to take off her garter belt when she was getting her photoshoot done causing the rest of the ladies a lot of discomfort and embarrassment. Victoria even snitched to Matt about Marylynn in a bid to have her eliminated from the competition. This self-confessed queen Victoria is here to stay on the season for a couple of more episodes and it'd be interesting to see what hell she raises next. 

'The Bachelor' airs Mondays at 8 pm ET on ABC.
