Bachelorette 12 - Episode 1 Premiere (Meet & Greet)

by **SLA44** Mon May 23, 2016 9:27 pm

Please use this thread to discuss the premiere. Thank you!

Here is the synopsis from ABC Press site:

In “Episode 1201,” a long, exciting night awaits JoJo, but first, a trio of former Bachelorettes: Kaitlyn Bristowe, Desiree Hartsock Siegfried and Ali Fedotowsky, return to offer some practical advice on how Jo Jo should handle the jitters, drama and emotional pitfalls as she searches for her future husband. They warn her that there is a big difference between red hot chemistry and love. A nervous but beaming Bachelorette is blown away by the lengths some of the bachelors go to create a memorable first meeting. One southern gentleman uses his guitar to charm JoJo with a song he wrote for her. A DJ brings a classic R&B group, All-4-One, to serenade her. One shy man shows off his Scottish heritage – and legs – by wearing a kilt. But one bachelor really stands out by riding in on a unicorn, harkening back to JoJo’s own entrance on “The Bachelor.”

The men continue to try and dazzle the Bachelorette during their one-on-one time. One bachelor steals her away and attempts to wow her with some push-ups. Some guys are so overwhelmed that they get off to an awkward start: One man asks for a kiss too soon and another has such an immediate attraction to Jojo, it leads to the first kiss of the season. The pressure mounts as Chris Harrison brings out the first impression rose, leading to some drunken antics by three inebriated men. JoJo wonders if some of these guys are here to meet her or just party. However, she does find a bachelor who deserves the first impression rose and he accepts it quite happily as his jealous contemporaries look on.

But it wouldn’t be a first rose ceremony without a surprise. An unexpected visitor from the past arrives and pulls the shocked Bachelorette aside, as the other men wonder if they have new competition for JoJo’s heart. After the night is over, 20 men remain to try and become the love of JoJo’s life.

I'm trying not to spoil anything but I didn't expect him that's for sure.

OK. "Canadian" is now considered an occupation

Edit: Never mind, I see him now.. LOL!

by **thisoldmule** Mon May 23, 2016 11:46 pm

Jake Pukevelka He looks old. I wonder if he is out of the closet yet.

by **Ughwhatname** Mon May 23, 2016 11:47 pm

Here are the "stated occupations" which are none of the kind!

Alex, 26, a U.S. Marine (former or current?)

Brandon, 28, a hipster from Los Angeles, CA (who pays him, to do what?)

Daniel, 31, a Canadian from Vancouver, B.C., Canada (same question)

James S., 27, a “Bachelor” superfan from Phoenix, AZ (okay, how does he spend his time outside of Monday nights?)

Jordan, 27, a former pro quarterback, Chico, CA (so, what now?)

Luke, 31, a war veteran from Burnet, TX (intro seemed to indicate he is out of the service now)

Robert “Robby,” 27, a former competitive swimmer from Jacksonville, FL (hey Robbie, what're up to now?)
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Alex is current Marine.

Brandon is an actor/model - was on an episode of "Millionaire Matchmaker" (not much airtime)

Daniel is a Personal trainer/model

James again I don't have a clue what he does for a living - he is a mystery as far as occupation.

Jordan I think he does some sports announcing - he is Arron Rodgers younger brother.

Luke is a West Point graduate and served as an officer overseas for 5 years and is now working on a music career in Nashville.

Robby is a model for The Store Brand and a regional sales manager for Myrtha Pools.

*edit*.....deleted because I broke the rule about Spoilers. I hate when posters spoil this show by blabbing the ending, so I don't want to *appear* to be doing the same.
Thanks SLAw for enforcing the Spoiler Rule!

by **thisoldmule** Mon May 23, 2016 11:51 pm

wait, monkey, damn did you just post a spoiler? *&^%$*

I'll edit this for anybody else who hasn't already seen it. Trouble is I read it. Monkey, I don't read spoilers (on purpose) so don't know if that is the outcome or not, but you referenced RS and made it sound like it was.

BBUWUHAHAHHAHAH...Hey Mule; true story; Jake the Snake was my pilot one time.

I had a connecting flight on American outta DWF to someplace in Arkansas and he was my pilot! At first I was like, 'let's switch airlines now',but he was really good because a big storm was moving in and he came out and told the agent to hurry up and get us on before they shut down the airport....we got out.
He looked shorter than I expected, but he was def built and cut....a couple of the women in the waiting area wanted pics with him.
Remember when he screamed at Vienna Sausage, "Don't interrupt me...." what a dick
