Believe it or not, another season has begun, this time starring Dallas' own Jojo. She was blindsided when Ben fell in love with two women, but after some soul searching strolls on the beach and an offer from ABC, she is ready for love again. Funny how that works.
She looks hot, and all the suitors know it. In fact, this is a common theme on night one: she's so pretty, they are all super nervous and it makes them act (and drink) stupidly. I also thought it was weird how she kept telling the guys how great THEY looked, but I guess flattery gets you everywhere.
First guy out of the limo was Jordan Rogers, kid brother of Aaron Rogers. He also played professional football, but was clearly not at the level of his bro. Jojo and Jojo (come on, I can call him that) had an immediate connection right off the bat, and I'm thinking he could be one to watch. Mostly because Jojo probably wants to hang out with Olivia Munn.
Lots of good-looking guys to choose from, but also some odd ducks - like the "Bachelor Superfan" who seemed more excited to meet Chris Harrison than Jojo. Or the "hipster." Or Evan, the pastor-turned erectile dysfunction specialist. Seriously - where do they find these people?? Nick, aka Saint Nick. emerged in a Santa Claus suit and remained committed to the role the entire night. I kept thinking, how hot must he be?
Competition starts almost immediately: Alex the tiny Marine is the first to steal her away, and proves his prowess by doing pushups while she sits on his back. Alrighty. Ali busts out "Fur Elise" on the piano. Chad, clearly the season's "bad boy," sits back and watches these guys self-destruct and is super confident in his position.
Luke from Texas rode in on a unicorn, which was kind of adorable, and James Taylor from Texas wrote her a song on his guitar. Wells from Nashville (I know his brother, btw) took things up a notch and brought the a cappella group All 4 One, who sang "I Swear." Awesomeness.
Half Chinese, half Scottish Jonathan wore a kilt, saying it proved his lower half was Scottish. Whatever the hell that means. Will busted out one of those fortune tellers from 4th grade, and when the fortune said "you will be kissed soon" (I'm sure each flap said this, no?), it led to a very awkward hug. But soon after, Jordan and Jojo shared the first kiss of the night. And she gave him the first impression rose. BOOM.
And then there's Daniel from Canada. Who opened with "Daaaamn Jojo!" But soon learned she didn't get his "Daaamn Daniel!" reference, which quickly led him to start pounding drinks. He was Canadrunk, if you will, and stripped down to his skivvies and dove into the pool after showing off his muscles to the camera. And then proceeded to poke dudes in the belly button, which is apparently a huge faux pas (unless you're the Pillsbury Dough Boy). Oh, Canada indeed.
But he wasn't the only one - two other guys were over-served and barged into Jojo's interview with producers.
Right before the rose ceremony, Jake freaking Pavelka shows up and pulls Jojo aside. She tells the camera that they are old family friends and he's like a brother to her. I'm praying this doesn't turn into an incestuous situation, but luckily he's only there
Roses go to:
Alex (Marine)
Ali (piano)
Brandon (hipster)
Chad (bad boy)
Chase (not much to say about him so far)
Christian (grew up without a dad)
Drunk Daniel (??)
Derek (cutie who said he used to look like Harry Potter)
Erectile Dysfunction Evan
Grant (firefighter)
James F (boxing club owner)
James S (Superfan)
James T (guitarist from TX)
Luke (unicorn)
Nick (Santa)
Robby (all I remember is yellow tie and matching pocket square)
Vinny Barberino (okay that's not his last name, but he IS a barber)
Wells (All 4 One)
Will (fortune kiss fail)
The guys that got kicked off I don't think I had ever seen before, with the exception of Jake the architect, who she totally should have kept over Daniel or Vinny.
Previews for the season look pretty juicy - and looks like Chad has major 'roid rage. BRING IT.
