The Bachelor: Arie Luyendyk Episode 1 Recap

ABC’s The Bachelor returned last night because is it even the New Year without a Bachelor premiere?

Grey-haired Arie Luyendyk, better known as the “Kissing Bandit” (and also what I refer to my dog as) is this year’s lead and seems like a bit of a basic bitch, but according to a few outside sources is apparently anything but – in bed.

Within the first two minutes of the premiere, Arie uses the word “hopeful” twice. If I never hear this word in the history of this franchise again, I will die the happiest.

Nysha’s boobs as MASSIVE. The taxidermy girl scared the poop out of me (I feel light as a feather now, so thanks). Tia lives in Weiner, AR and shops at bestie Raven’s boutique, Grey Suede, so she definitely canNOT be trusted – with her outfit choices at least.

Did everyone align together and recycle their bridesmaids dresses? I want to hate Rizzo from Grease Bekah, but she’s literally the only one who wore a semi-fun outfit.
