Season 10 Bachelorette Recap Episode 1

Episode 1 Season 10 Bachelorette

Tonight, the situations begin! The Bachelor Mansion driveway is freshly hosed, the men are freshly showered and man-scaped, and Chris Harrison is in full-animated welcoming posture. See our breakdown of Chris Harrison poses and hand-gestures. The first night is always a ‘taking care of business’ situation.

But tonight we have a special job to “take care of” and that is the death of Bachelorette contestant Eric Hill who died tragically in a paragliding accident a few weeks ago in Utah.

Chris Harrison appears in front of the mansion to talk about the sensitive subject–again showing how truly professional he is in even the most difficult situation. ABC plays a tribute to Eric and says the season will be dedicated to him.

Andi is then met by her parents Hy and Patti Dorfman (a Bachelorette first) who have been married 30 years, and her sister Rachel who lives here in San Diego in Solana Beach BTW! Nothing major–The fam just gives her a little pep talk and Andi shows them her s-e-r-i-o-u-s-l-y bedazzled dress.

Next, we head to the freshly hosed mansion driveway to meet the contestants who will be vying for the grand prize of a lifetime long 1 on 1 with 27-year-old criminal attorney / Bachelorette Andi Dorfman .

The entrances included:

Tasos: Tasos is a young musician who hands her a lock and invites her to join him on the “Love Lock” Bridge in Paris…”. He then locks the lock to some temporary Bachelor mansion prop and tosses the key into the mansion fountain where it will surely NEVER be found by anyone on The Bachelorette production crew! — so their love will be “locked” forever.

Brett: Brett is a 30-year-old straight hairstylist from Warminster, PA. with an off-beat sense of humor. He shows up with a lamp from his hotel which Andi worries MUST be returned to the hotel immediately! She is such an enneagram one!!!

Eric: Eric is of course the world traveler who hands her a pair of dolls that a little girl in the Andes Mountains gave to him–I was seriously worried that he was gonna paraglide in…thank God that didn’t happen.

Cody: Cody is a handsome blonde personal trainer from Chicago who decides to show Andi his brute strength by pushing his limo up the driveway. Cody is also sporting an interesting do–the side AND back shave with a poof / swoop on top.

Craig: Craig is ready to get the party started by uncorking a bottle of champagne on the freshly hosed driveway–I am still waiting for someone to slip and fall.

Bradley: Bradley shows up with some cookies—woulda been better if it were cookie dough.

Marquel: Marquel, the man “of color” dons a box of cookies and the last cookie was half vanilla, half chocolate which of course was to symbolize their inter-racial love.

J.J.: J.J. gets points here because he is also a fellow Burner and resident of Black Rock city! He designs quirky clothing–and look OBVIOUSLY he designs outfits for Burning Man. J.J. brings her a one-of-a-kind pair of paisley pants he sewed just for her. He also sports a bow tie and is a dead ringer for Bill Nye the Science Guy.

Nick S: Nick is Brody Jenner’s friend…I mean a professional golfer. He plows down the driveway in a golf cart almost running Andi over and jumps out with a set of clubs. We knew the Kardashian connection was coming.

Nick V: Nick V is the 33 year old account exec. from Milwaukee, Wisconsin that is 1 of 11 children!

Dr. Jason: Dr. J has the most cringe-worthy entrance: “I think you have a fever.  Cuz you’re lookin’ pretty hot.” He gets our “worst” impression rose.

Emil: Emil, reminiscent of when Desiree was trying to pronounce Juan Pablo’s difficult name, has to spend his 15 seconds explaining to her how to pronounce his name and that it is NOT “anal”. This did not bode well for him.

 

Chris S: Chris S is like the hottest corn/soybean farmer I have ever seen! What are they eating in Iowa? Chris talked about being a 4th generation farmer…so he has got some serious cash in addition to good looks. He will be a front-runner.

Josh M: Josh M. tells her that his mom “loves” her. And BTW mom Lauren Murray IS JEWISH!!!!He also tells Andi that he just moved to Atlanta in January. As we pointed out earlier Josh M. moved to Atlanta to be closer to his brother Aaron but we know that he was living in Athens in the summer because he was sharing a 3-bedroom apt with his brother and sister! Talk about a tight-knit family!

I guess there are some rumblings of a conspiracy theory that Josh and Andi already knew each other. Hmmmmm, we will investigate this situation.

Chris Bukowski: Chris B has been stalking the mansion for 7 days down by Kraft services!!! (The funny thing is we have actually talked about doing that multiple times!) Chris B allegedly didn’t know exactly when the show would start filming so he just showed up with a suitcase FULL OF SUITS!–and did we mention…..has been camped out their for S-E-V-E-N days! And he is all decked out in a suit with Bachelorette security guards holding a bouquet of roses!!

Hopefully Kraft services hooked him up with some treats.

Sadly, Andi was not impressed at all by his dedication and as I said earlier in my enneagram breakdown Andi is ALL about doing the “right” thing and choosing Chris over the 25 men who had worked so hard to get there was not the right thing to do.

So Nick Viall got the first impression rose….hmmm, confused by that. She has soo many hot guys to choose.

One last memorable moment:

Josh Bauer said he was humiliated by not getting a rose and had to go home and take his medication! OH NO!!!!! Hopefully they whisked him away to the ABC therapist who lives next door (remember Brad Womack’s season).

Rose Ceremony Eliminations:  Dr. Jason Leep, Rudie Baldwin, Josh Bauer, and Mike Campanelli, Steven Woolworth, and Emil Schaffroth.
