For Matt James’ season of The Bachelor, Abigail Heringer was chosen from over 6,500 applicants. She underwent a background check, psychological examination, and medical examination all in the hopes of finding “the one” there.
Abigail’s mother, on the other hand, thought it wasn’t the best place to meet people. She also mentioned that Abigail was “frugal,” so it wasn’t the best place for her to spend her time.
(Spoiler alert) However, Abigail had already received Matt’s first impression as the show progressed. She was on her way to winning Matt’s heart and becoming his girlfriend. There were no details about Abigail’s previous relationships available. Abigail, like Matt, would be dating someone onscreen for the first time.
