AceShowbiz - "The Bachelor" returned with a new season on Monday, January 22. The premiere episode featured new Bachelor Joey Graziadei meeting 32 extraordinary women who were all ready to compete against each other for his heart.
The first to arrive was Lexi. She opened up about her health condition that made it difficult for her if she wants to have her own kids. Lexi further shared that her health issue prompted her to stay away from dating because she fears rejection and being judged.
Some other girls arrived, but it seemed like Erika caught Joey's attention as she danced with him and flaunted her moves to him. Erika said that she's excited to join "The Bachelor" as soon as she heard that Joey was the one leading the new season. Kelsey A. felt the same, adding that she wanted a man that will treat her with respect and love.
Next, sisters Lauren and Allison appeared. They revealed that they auditioned for "The Bachelor" after knowing that Joey would be the Bachelor and didn't expect to compete against each other. The pair decided not to tell anyone, including Joey, that they're sisters which might be a huge issue if Joey ends up having a Hometown date with one of them.
Some other ladies made entrance in such a memorable way. Someone arrived in a go cart, while someone else showed up in a boat. A lady, meanwhile, hoped to make an impression on Joey by traveling on a tennis high chair. There was also a contestant who came in a red pickup truck with a Christmas tree.
Lea, who met Joey at the After the Rose Ceremony, later showed up. She brought the card she was given that night. She hadn't opened the card as she waited to read it until all the women had arrived.
Later that night, Joey had his first kiss on the show with Jess and she told everyone about it. Joey also shared a kiss with Daisy, who opened up about how her cochlear implant changed her life. Daisy, however, didn't brag about it to the others nor she tried to interrupt Joey's time with other girls like Jess did. Taylor told Jess how disrespectful it was, but the latter made it clear that she wasn't here to make friends.
Meanwhile, Lauren and Allison caused a stir when they eventually confessed to the group that they were sisters, leaving only Joey in the dark. They wanted to make the revelation after one of them got the first kiss. Allison won the competition as she had a kiss with Joey.
After learning the truth that they're siblings, Joey couldn't help but feel confused. He shared that he couldn't date sisters because it was problematic.
