After being turned down by the last bachlorette Ashley Hebert, Ben Flajnik, met 25 smitten ladies ready to call him her's.
Flajnik, 28, was calm as he met each of the ladies, even when some stumbled on their words when their rehearsed introductions failed.
"The Bachelor" premiered last night on ABC and again, host Chris Harrison was present to help the next budding romantic find their true love in front of millions.
Flajnik is from San Francisco, and is a winemaker and owner of Envolve Wines. The bachelor, known for his locks, even has a Twitter account for his hair.
He gave his first impression rose to Lindzi, 26, from Seattle who rode in on a horse in a black gown. He offered to help her of the horse, which he did...that was their first moment, of many, it seems, that will come.
Courtney, 28, a model from Santa Monica, seems like she's going to be the bitchy girl that seduces the pants off of Flajnik. And the signs are there. After he met her and she walked away, he said, "That's a pretty girl."
And then there was Jenna, 27, from New York City. She was the crier of the bunch. The poor girl had a meltdown and was already talking about how she couldn't handle it. Nevertheless, she was offered a rose and she indeed snatched it.
