'The Bachelorette' Season Premiere: What You Need To Know

Bachelor Nation, we’re back! "The Bachelorette" is back in our lives and this season, JoJo is up to bat with 26 of her own guys to compete for her heart. A quick run through about JoJo Fletcher: Her heart was broken by Ben Higgins last season on "The Bachelor," she’s 25 years old, she’s from Dallas, Texas, and she is a real estate developer.

The episode kicked off with a recap of what happened last season with JoJo being in the final two, Ben telling her he loved her, and then proceeding to dump her by stating “I found [love] with you, but I found it with somebody else more.” But bygones are bygones and now JoJo’s life post the Ben-pocalypse is better than ever! At first she was hurt and betrayed, but now she’s completely moved on and ready to find love once more. Following the recap and montage, JoJo is then greeted by three former Bachelorettes (Kaitlyn, Desiree, and Ali) to get some advice on the process. This portion of the segment is clearly a filler as to prepare the viewers for what lies ahead, when JoJo meets her suitors. As always, a majority of them are mediocre with only a few diamonds in the rough.

Bring on the men! What you need to know about a couple of the contestants:

1. Grant is a firefighter with chiseled features, and he hopes JoJo is the one that lights his fire.

2. James S. (It’ll be like the Laurens all over again!) is a self-proclaimed "Bachelor" fan, what will begin the introduction to many many men who basically have no profession whatsoever. He may be more excited to meet Chris Harrison than JoJo.

3. Evan is an Erectile Dysfunction Specialist. "It's a hard business. It's draining."

4. Christian is probably the most motivated person you’ll ever meet and does super techy geeky stuff as a telecom consultant.

5. Luke is a fellow Texan and a war veteran who is ready for real love.

6. Jordan always felt overshadowed by his brother Aaron Rodgers, quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, but he’s not going to let that get in the way of finding love for the second time.

Limo Arrivals

After a whirlwind of cheesy puns and props, memorable standouts were Jordan (the first one out of the limo a la Lauren B.), Nick B. aka Santa Claus, Sal who asks JoJo to squeeze his blue stress balls, Jonathan who comes in wearing a kilt, and Wells (personal favorite) who brought an acapella group.

The Cocktail Party

All you need to know is that if you put 26 men in one mansion, they are going to desperately do anything to get the Bachelorette’s attention. This season is no different, as the alcohol was flowing, contestants kept interrupting JoJo’s interview, and one contestant (there’s always one!) stripped down and jumped in the pool. Standouts during the cocktail portion of the evening were Alex, a U.S marine who did pushups while JoJo sat on his back, Will, who used a paper fortune teller to get JoJo to give him a cringe-worthy smooch, Chad (who will play the villain this season) but surprisingly JoJo liked him, and Damnnn Daniel, who was an absolute trainwreck.

Rose Ceremony

Ah, the much awaited and best part of any episode. JoJo sent many of the men who got no air time home. During their brief interviews before exiting into the limos, many of them wondered why they were being sent home as they believed there was so much more they had to offer to their relationships with JoJo. Alas, JoJo did not think the same. One “shocking” moment occurred when Jake Pavelka (*never forget the post break-up interview extravaganza*) came back to tell JoJo to go with her gut (groundbreaking stuff, really), and James S. got to clue the contestants in on who Jake really was. Afterwards, JoJo handed out her remaining 19 roses (first impression was given to Jordan, no surprise there), and Coley, Peter, Jake, Nick. S, Sal and Jonathan were all sent home.

Stay tuned every Monday night to be a part of JoJo’s journey to find love and what kind of a psycho Chad ends up turning into.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
