Season 24 Episode 1 ‘The Bachelor’ Recap & Review

It was a thrilling season premiere, on ABC’s dramatic season 24 Bachelor debut.

ABC immediately pushed Peter’s Cuban heritage, showing a delicious family dinner complimented with Cuban food. From there, we met some season standouts, including Alexa the body-waxer and Victoria P the care-taking nurse, but Hannah Ann made the biggest impression, interrupting THREE separate times during the cocktail party. Natasha was NOT having it. But let’s talk about the first group date, which included aviation math, puke-riddled inflatable slides, and of course, Lawyer Kelley (with who Peter had a former fling) CHEATING to get a free Plane ride to the cocktail evening. Kelley’s passive aggressive interruption brought tears to Shian’s eyes, and NOT in a good way. This, of course, led to what may be the best one on one premiere date EVER, with Madison joining the Weber’s for a very heartfelt wedding vow renewal ceremony, accompanied by – who else but – Tenille Arts. Madison’s earnest performance makes her a clear frontrunner for the season. Finally, Hannah Brown, the beast, is BACK! She (aggressively?) inserted herself into Peter’s final group date, and he TOTALLY took the bait. Is Hannah Brown here to stay?
