The Bachelorette

I am so excited for this seasons 'The Bachelorette'. This season's bachelorette is Emily Maynard.

I watched Emily when she was on Brad's season of The Bachelor and fell in love with her. She is a true 'southern belle'. Beautiful, elegant and down to earth. She's gone through a lot in her life (lost her finance in a plane crash and found out 2 days later she was pregnant with his child), something I can't even imagine going through. She's been engaged twice...and here she is taking a huge risk and hoping 3rd time is the charm. I hope it is because someone like her deserves it.

When she was on The Bachelor, she was this super sweet girl who seemed...in her own words...boring. I've seen in the previews that we will get to see a very fun side of her and even hear a bleep out of the f-bomb. I am excited to see this side of her.

The first episode was all about meeting the guys.

And meet guys she did...all 25 of them! The show had 4 or 5 guys that they did a bit of a background on them and had video of them doing there every day lives. I am not sure why they only picked those guys. I feel like they did it because those guys will go far in the season and now we know that by seeing that. I dont' know though...so we will see.

A few guys stood out right away to me.

Ryan is someone that I think Emily really likes. He use to be a professional football player and now runs a sports training facility for athletes.

Arie is someone that I think goes very far. He is a race car driver and was very nervous meeting Emily and telling her this since her fiance that had passed was in the same profession. I was happy he told her the first night so that if she wasn't comfortable with it, he would have gone home right away. She was very cool with it and excited.

Doug received the 'first impression rose'. He's a single father of an 11 year old boy and lives in Seattle. Emily is looking for someone that is ready to be a family and having him already have that...it really made a great impression on Emily.

This is Kalon...and he comes from lots of money. He made his entrance on a helicopter. You can already tell he will be the 'villan'. I already don't like him from what I have seen so far. They need one on every season and we will see how this plays out...but I already hope she doesn't choose him. Who knows...my mind may change after I see more episodes.

A few others that I feel like will do well that received roses on the first night:

Charlie - only one to wear a cream suite. I liked him.

Jeff - cool and down to earth. Showed up on his skateboard. I don't

 think he will win but I think he is a fun guy that will be well liked.

Nate - she thought he was super cute and he's an accountant...

so of course, I like him. I think he will stay as long as Jeff.

Chris - Emily finds him very attractive (I didn't) and he had bobble head

dolls made of himself and Emily. I think he will go pretty far.

I'm excited for this season and will be doing a recap/my input on the Tuesday after the Monday episode.

Anybody else watching this season of The Bachlorette? What did you think of the first episode?
