I’m pretty excited about this season. I think Hannah B. is so deliciously awkward and wholesome that she has the potential to be a really fun bachelorette. I also loved watching her personality develop on Colton’s season of The Bachelor. I’m sure all of us remember how cringy her first date with him was, when she couldn’t make the toast, now she’s much more fun to watch.
There are a few snippets of some of the contestants traveling to meet her, nothing spectacularly stands out. Tyler is a dancer, Peter is a pilot, Mike is a veteran, Joe is an… Italian box salesman, Matt is a farmer who speaks ASL, Connor is a district manager for a car company, and Luke P. is a bro.
On the first night, Hannah is wearing a stunning, spaghetti strap, silver sequin dress with a high slit that has a cross strap at the top of the slit. I think she could have found earrings that matched the dress better, but that’s neither here nor there.
She meets a lot of generic guys with corny pick-up lines. Here are some of the men who stood out from the rest: Connor S. jumped over a fence for her. Joe, the box salesman, arrived in a giant cardboard box. He said, “This package isn’t complete without you”. Joey arrived holding a baby carrier which had champagne in it. Ryan roller-skated his way up to her. Jonathan had a pizza and said, “Will you have a pizza my heart?”
Luke P. jumped on the limo and growled at her and she did the Hannah Beast pose back at him. Cam came out of the limo and was rapping again, since that’s all he’s known for now. He’s proudly toting his rose that he received during Colton’s After the Final Rose episode. Matt rode in on a tractor and sang a version of ‘Old Mc Donald’ but placed his name in there and called it “Ol’ Matt Donald.” Peter came out in his pilot uniform and gave Hannah his other pair of wings, which is apparently very symbolic for pilots.
Something fun to point out is that Hannah kept saying “Nailed it” in the way that Colton used to say it during his season.
Hannah spoke with Luke P. and a few of the other guys. Connor J. stood out because he threw her a Bachelorette party, which I thought was very clever. Cam gets the first kiss of the season, and Jed makes Hannah swoon by playing acoustic guitar and singing for her.
Meanwhile, Demi and Katie are spying on the men, with Hannah’s approval. Demi heard that one of the guy’s has a girlfriend and is trying to scope out who the guy is. After some prime detective work, Demi realizes that Scott is the person who has a girlfriend. Hannah pulls Scott away and confronts him. He reacts with “I don’t have a girlfriend” in the least believable way. His stance was that even though he saw a girl that he was dating earlier that week, they weren’t dating anymore. Hannah wasn’t buying it, thank goodness.
But Scott got a bit upset when Hannah called him out for jumping between girls so quickly. He says something along the lines of “You were just dating, and in love with, Colton and that’s the same thing” which got a big ol’ WOW out of me! I’m shocked the conversation made it as far as it did, but she escorts Scott out of the house. “Get to steppin’ Scott” Demi says from the safety of the spy van. Hannah walks back into the house and explains the scenarios to the other men then takes a minute for herself.
Apparently, the Scott thing took an hour of the night, which ate up all of the other guy’s time. Luke steps up and comforts her. He reassures her that he’s there for her and I feel like he’s going to be the person who gets that first impression rose. The rest of the men do a good job at reassuring her that they’re all there for the right reasons.
Called it! Luke receives the first impression rose! The people who get the first impression rose have more than a 50% chance of making the final four. Meanwhile, a lot of the men didn’t get one-on-one time since the Scott scenario took up so much of the night.

So, they show the preview of the season and then they show the comic relief credit scene of Chris Harrison cleaning up the packing peanuts from when Joe busted out of the box. Chris Harrison seems frustrated and he says “Son of a bitch” and it was actually pretty funny.
