‘Bachelor’ premiere: A pig nose, a fake heart, a really drunk girl and more

A new season of The Bachelor, starring Prince Farming – Chris Soules, who came across as pretty charming on Night One – kicked off Monday. We watched as he went from his small town in Iowa to L.A. and faced 30 beautiful (and crazy) women.

Here are the highlights of Monday’s episode:

THE RED CARPET PREMIERE

Host Chris Harrison was live on a red carpet for the first hour of the three-hour kick-off. He chatted up Bachelor favorites Sean Lowe and wife Catherine, asking about kids. “They’re on our radar,” said Catherine. “Sean likes to say we’re practicing.” Sean said to look for a baby to “pop out” in 2016.

Bachelorette Andi Dorfman said she and fiance Josh Murray haven’t started planning their wedding yet. Nikki Ferrell talked about how she and Juan Pablo Galavais just “two different people” and that’s why the relationship is over.

THE WOMEN MAKE THEIR ENTRANCES

Most not-really-funny entrance: Reegan, a “donated tissue specialist” from Manhattan Beach, Calif., brought a cooler. “I sell human tissue,” she told the puzzled Bachelor Chris. She opened the cooler to reveal what kind of looked like a heart. “It’s just a joke,” she quickly said.

Most elaborate entrance: Tara, a “sports fishing enthusiast” from Ft. Lauderdale (can you really pay the rent being that?), stepped out of the limo saying “yee haw” and tugging on her Daisy Dukes. She had on cowboy boots with her short jean shorts. She then went in the mansion, changed into a black dress, came back outside, slipped into the limo and came back out to meet Chris again. “You’re back,” he said. “It would have been fine either way.”

Stupidest entrance: Amanda, a ballet teacher from Illinois, didn’t let Chris see her. He told her to close his eyes before she got out of the limo, then approached him from behind. She said she was going to be his “secret admirer.” He found her later in the mansion where another girl noticed Amanda’s “big eyes” and the show kept focusing on them. “You have to make eye contact with Chris,” she said.

Sexiest entrance: Kaitlyn, a dance instructor from Vancouver, greeted Chris is a super tight dress. “I know you’re name is Chris and I know you’re a farmer.” She then said, “You can plow the (bleep) out of my field any day!” He was stunned. “You just took my breath away with that one.” Later, she taught Chris how to dance.

Coolest entrance: Tandra, an executive assistant from Sandy, Utah, rode in on a motorcycle with a long glittering gown. “That’s pretty cool,” said Chris.

Just plain wrong entrance: Nicole, a real estate agent from Scottsdale, wore a pig nose. “I wanted to ham it up for you to make you feel at home and hopefully make you laugh.”

Sleaziest entrance: Brittany, a WWE diva-in-training, wore a short white lace dress that looked like lingerie that was struggling to stay on her. She held up a sign that said, “#Soulmates.” It was uncomfortable and all wrong.

Dorkiest entrance: Carly, a cruise ship singer from Arlington, Texas, got out of the limo holding a little karaoke machine. She sang a song to Chris about the two of them winding up together.

THE ROSE CEREMONY DRAMA

Tara was drunk. We saw her guzzling “Jack on the rocks.” Then we saw her have the hiccups and burp. During the rose ceremony she was tilting, yawning, rubbing her hands together as though she was cold and muttering. It prompted Bachelor Chris to stop halfway through and consult host Chris, who said, “It’s 100 percent up to you.” Bachelor Chris wound up giving drunk Tara a rose.

Brittany, Nicole, Amanda and Reegan were among the six women who were sent packing. From the sneak peek of the season we should expect lots of tears, someone sneaking into Chris’ tent, more tears and Chris feeling really bad about something he did. Onward!
