Grab your wine glass and fill out your bracket because Season 15 of 'The Bachelorette' has officially begun!
Last season on 'The Bachelor', Colton Underwood break Hannah Brown's heart while they were in Denver. That was then and this is now. Hannah Brown (aka "Hannah B.", and better known as, "Hannah Beast") is the Bachelorette this season.
There are 30 men vying for Hannah's love. Without further ado, let's get to it with the first recap of Hannah's season of 'The Bachelorette'!
The episode starts off with Chris Harrison asking Hannah (via FaceTime) if she wants to the the next Bachelorette. Hannah cries tears of excitement and is in a state of absolute joy as she accepts to be the next Bachelorette. Hooray! Hannah gives Chris a little tour of her hometown, Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Katie Morton and Demi Burnett, two contestants who appeared on Colton's season of 'The Bachelor', reunite with Hannah and wish her luck as she undergoes her journey as the Bachelorette. We'll see these two a little later in the episode. Wondering why? Keep reading and you will find out...
There are a few brief introductions of a few of the men on this season of 'The Bachelorette' at the beginning of the episode. In the words of Chris Harrison, "Let the journey begin..."
For now, I'm just going to skip past the limo entrances. Check out this blog post to read up on the limo entrances!
Cocktail Hour
It definitely seems as though Hannah must have been practicing her toast-giving because she kicked off this season with a fantastic toast! (Yasss girl!)
Luke P. is the first suitor to talk to Hannah and he takes initiative to do so as soon as Hannah finishes her toast. Luke's sister signed him up for 'The Bachelorette'. Luke is already into Hannah. He tells her that she needs to catch up and get to his level.
What stood out to Mike was how strong Hannah's speech was. Hannah opens up to Mike about how she always strives to be perfect, and that she feels ready for what is next on her journey to finding love on 'The Bachelorette'.
Connor J. takes a creative approach and throws Hannah her first 'bachelorette party'. Connor and Hannah play a few games that are set up. Connor places a 'Bachelorette' crown on Hannah's head.
Being the Bachelorette "feels like a dream" to Hannah. Hannah also talks to Hunter and Cam. Cam is looking for "fun" in a life partner. This is his second time meeting Hannah, and he asks her, "May I kiss you?" She says yes, and this marks the first kiss of the season.
Jed serenades Hannah while playing an acoustic guitar. Hannah has a crush on Jed.
Hannah invited Katie and Demi to "scope out the guys". Katie and Demi hide in a white van outside of the Bachelor Mansion and watch the action of Hannah meeting the guys. Hannah has a conversation with Matt Donald, and Katie thinks he is "so sweet". Meanwhile, Demi is on the lookout for a certain contestant. Earlier that day, someone reached out to Demi on social media about how one of the contestants has a girlfriend. Demi is unsure whether this is true or not, but she is determined to get to the bottom of this.
Hannah talks to Joe, and "The Box King" tells her about his job. Then, Hannah sits down to get to know Peter. Demi says, "Ooo he's cute." (Looks like Hannah got her Demi-approval.)
Spotted: Scott, the contestant Demi has been on the lookout for. Scott decides to do an interior design activity with Hannah to map out "their dream home". Chris walks around and approaches Hannah just after she finishes her conversation with Scott. Chris brings Hannah to the van where Demi and Katie have been inside of. Hannah thinks Scott is "nice". Demi breaks the news to Hannah that, "Apparently, Scott has a girlfriend." Meanwhile, Scott tells his fellow contestants about the interior design activity they do together, and how he feels about his potential relationship with Hannah.
Hannah calls over to Scott, "We need to talk." Oh man, she does not sound happy. Hannah and Scott talk in private. Hannah addresses Scott about how she was told that he "apparently" has a girlfriend. Hannah asks Scott why he is a contestant on "The Bachelorette" and what his intentions are. Hannah receives mixed signals about what Scott is saying, and she seems pissed. After a long confrontation about the situation, Hannah sends Scott home. Don't mess with Hannah Beast! The Scott-situation takes up a lot of time, and unfortunately, this limits the time Hannah has to get to know the other suitors. This outcome leaves some of the men being extra nervous about whether they will receive roses or not at the Rose Ceremony.
Hannah tells the remaining men they should leave if they currently have a girlfriend or does not have the right reasons of being there. Hannah takes some time to regain her composure before she continues talking to the remaining 29 contestants. Luke P. checks up on Hannah to see how she is doing. Hannah vents to Luke about the situation. Luke reassures Hannah about how his intention of being on the show to win her heart. Hannah gets to know the other men. Connor S. and Hannah talk. They share a kiss.
As the time passes, Hannah gives the first impression rose to Luke P. Luke kisses Hannah.
