Learn more- When we last saw lovely Jillian, she had been jilted at the pseudo-altar by Jason. "The second that Jason didn't give me that last rose, I was devastated," she said. Will she ever recover? More time spent on national TV can only help.
Cut to Los Angeles, where Jillian jumps rope, lifts weight, eats hot dogs, washes her purple convertible and prances around in a bikini. "I'm ready to find love again," she proclaims. And a good thing, too -- because Chris steps out a McMansion to introduce a new season of "The Bachelorette." Turns out 25 lucky guys will have the chance to give Jillian a happy ending. Let's meet a few, shall we?
Kiptyn is a surfer -- a ripped surfer. "If I fall in love that would be the most amazing thing ever," he says. Then there's Michael, who break dances on the streets of New York. He DEFINITELY thinks Jillian is the gal for him. Julien, meanwhile, likes to jump out of planes and drive sports cars really, really fast. "Jillian and Julien together forever -- that sounds great," he quips. And clever too! Steve, an attorney, is a catch because he is an attorney. Juan works as an architect with his mother, who demands grandkids. "I think Jillian would make the perfect parent," Juan says.
Mark is an entrepreneur and pizza-shop owner. He also likes to wear Spandex and bike. Kyle, on the other hand, likes to dress in thrift-store clothes. "I make love good," he says. Sasha, who is "100-percent Serbian," is also an oil man who likes to roast pigs. Wes from Texas is a country singer and plays a tune to prove it. His nickname in Mexico: "the rooster." Jacob flies the friendly skies as a pilot. "It's my art," he claims. Jacob would also "absolutely die" to make Jillian's dreams come true.
The men jump in a limo and crack open the bubbly. Nothing like a car full of guys and flutes of champagne. Jillian, meanwhile, talks to Chris about her dating philosophy, which boils down to "you have to slay a few dragons to find your prince." She is also looking for "Mr. Invisible." Chris explains that this is because we don't know what he looks like yet. Thanks, Chris. The limo arrives and the guys take turns gushing over their potential future wife. David, on the other hand, is nothing short of awestruck, leading to much awkward silence. High-school coach Bryan one ups the field by literally sweeping Jillian off her feet. He puts her down and it's time to head inside.
The men "ooh" and "ahh" as Jillian enters. "As cliché as it sounds, please be yourself," she says. You're right. It does sound cliché. Cheers and clinking glasses later, Jillian says it's "surreal" to be on the other side of the competition. Jacob, meanwhile, is the first to take Jillian outside for a little one-on-one chatting. Turns out he is the "black sheep" of the family because he isn't a doctor. Soon, wine-maker Jesse arrives to steal Jillian away. He shows off an "aspiring Canadian" t-shirt under his suit (because Jillian is from up north, dontcha know). Only a few minutes into the party and the competition is ON.
Now it's Jillians turn to choose a conversationalist. She picks Kiptyn out of the crowd and drags his willing, chiseled frame poolside. "You surf?" she asks. "I took up surfing about three years ago." Clearly, the two have an instant connection. Kiptyn then explains that he is a ketchup-only guy (Jillian apparently defines men by the condiments they enjoy). Jillian finds this answer to be "cute."
Host Chris arrives carrying the all-important first-impression rose. Lawyer Steve declares that he wants it. Kyle observes that some of the men have already become a little "catty." Meow! He also plans to dazzle Jillian with his "wit," which means drawing a mustache on his finger and Jillian's finger so they can pretend to have facial hair. Dazzling, indeed. Mathue then takes a page out of coach Bryan's playbook and lifts Jillian up, carrying her to side of the pool.
But Wes it about to out-awkward them all. That's right, the country singer takes out his guitar and begins playing a soulful tune he wrote for his dear Jillian. "It's time to whoop some ass," he tells the camera. Uh huh. Yet Jillian claims to "love it." Not to be outdone, break-dance instructor Michael arrives to give our lovely heroine a lesson. She kicks off her heels and gets to work. Soon, the pair is laughing. It's the whitest love match ever! Before you can say "Oh ... my ... dear ... Lord," a dance-off breaks out between Michael and Greg. Greg claims to be the winner, but the other boys disagree. We don't an opinion.
Chris re-enters, but it's not time for the rose ceremony just yet. Instead, the host opens the door and -- wha!? -- five NEW hunks enter. "It won't just be the 25 of you," Chris explains. "There will be 30 bachelors." This twist, apparently, is a first for the show. Jillian can't believe it -- and neither can the men we've spent the last 75 minutes getting to know and love. "The competition was tough," Chris said. "It just got tougher." Well said, Chris. Well said.
Jillian meets with the new dudes. Reid, a realtor, notes that the Bachelorette is "hot." Financial analyst Tanner says Jillian is "awesome" and "such the marrying type." HOWEVER, he seems most concerned with the Bachelorette's feet. In fact, Tanner devises a plan to get Jillian's shoes off for a little toe dipping in the pool. "Got to have high arches -- that's the key," Tanner tells the camera. Luckily, Jillian's feet prove pretty and not mangled. Oookaaaaayyy.
Now it's finally time to hand out the first-impression rose. And who is the lucky man? None other than trucking contractor David. Why? "Sort of like a second shot at a first impression," Jillian explains. Says David: "That's awesome ... Stick it on me." And so she does. The boys are going to be soooo jealous.
Killjoy Chris interrupts the party again. Time for the rose ceremony. "You guys totally exceeded my expectations," Jillian says. Having said that, it's time to give 10 expectation-exceeding men the boot. Jillian heads to the deliberation room to relive fond memories of the last 90 minutes and stare at framed photos of the beaus. After much contemplation, she is ready to hand out floral arrangements.
Nineteen flowers to hand out. Let's get started. Rose getters include: Jacob, Jesse, Wes, Mathue, Michael, Robert, Ed, Reid, Simon, Kiptyn, Mike, Brian, Sasha, Julien, Tanner P., Mark, Brad, Tanner F. and, finally, Juan. That's it. The rest of the boys are heading home. They don't even have to pack their bags. The departing men "take a moment to say goodbye," per Chris's suggestion. John P. is shocked, noting that Jillian seemed like his "soul mate." High-hairline Steve "did not see that coming ... maybe she doesn't like awesome guys." Maybe.
We close the first episode with Jillian toasting to her remaining men. Until next week.
