10 things you need to know from The Bachelor Season 21 premiere

Hello and welcome to the season premiere of The Bachelor on ABC.

Nick has gone from Bachelorette villain to worse villain to Paradise sweetheart.

Corinne, who gave Nick a “hug token” when they first met, doubles down with a money bag-printed with a dollar sign, the kind that you’d expect to see old-timey bank robbers loading onto their getaway horse-full of tokens when they sit down together. As much as everyone wants to hate him, he’s pretty cute and his awkwardness makes him feel real.

But Nick didn’t mention anything when he greeted Liz and instead said: ‘You look fantastic, that dress is great. The show highlights this as scandalous and the camera zooms in on Nick’s facial expression as he ponders who she is, as apparently he did not recognize her when she was introduced. The other is Josephine, a 24-year-old registered nurse from Santa Cruz (Read her ABC bio here).

“Can I just say thank you for not picking me?” “How did this happen?” they wanted to know. Also, she knows from big families having parents who came from big broods, which struck a chord with Nick, who has 10 siblings. I always got the sense that he secretly felt he was above the whole thing, but chose to suck it up because he actually really fell in love, which amounts to a twisted sort of sincerity. If you’re playing Bachelor Fantasy, did you get this one? . She showed up dressed as what she thought was a dolphin but was clearly a shark, and try as Nick and her fellow ladies might, she just would not be convinced she was wrong about her costume. In a Buzzfeed community poll, 97 percent of respondents agreed that she was wearing a shark costume. Oh and Rachel, the attorney from Dallas, got the first impression rose. We all just kept coming back to Nick, and it’s just insane enough to work’. Denied love as a mortal twice on The Bachelorette-first by Andi “Does She Still Practice Law?”

It only took two years… but Nick Viall’s season of The Bachelor FINALLY premiered Monday night – and boy, was it an entertaining two hours. As if all that wasn’t enough, he even gave “Bachelor in Paradise” a shot. Instead of getting his phone number from mutual friend, Jade, she pursued him onto the show. Nobody in the history of this television program has ever been there for less-right reasons. She just had deeper feelings for Shawn.

If Viall doesn’t propose to her, hopefully ABC will pick her as the next Bachelorette (there’s still never been a nonwhite lead on the franchise).

“My heart is gold, but my vagine is platinum”, Olympios said in a preview clip that aired following last night’s The Bachelor episode. So stay tuned, as we’ll be tallying up those Sconnie shoutouts too along the way.
