Meet sexy Bachelor Brad Womack, a 34 year old entrepreneur and identical twin who owns four bars with his brothers in his hometown of Austin, Texas. Brad says he's "an everyday, hardworking guy who's looking for his soul mate."
Brad grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. His family went from riches to rags when his parents got divorced and his mother relocated her family of three boys to a small town in Texas. Upon graduation, Brad realized college wasn't for him, so he went to work on an oil rig for the next eight years. That taught him the self discipline to go into business for himself. Now, he has everything he wants in life, except a wife. Even though he's a millionaire, he's looking for a woman to whom money doesn't matter. And yes, he's looking to get down on one knee and propose at the end of the series!
He arrives in Los Angeles, at the Malibu beach house that will be his home base for the next six weeks.
Meanwhile, the 25 Bachelorettes are literally bouncing on their beds at their hotel in their excitement to meet Brad, about whom they know nothing about!
First out of the limo is Sheena, who asks Brad for a hug. She tells him she looks forward to getting to know him.
Next is Jenni, who's wearing a short black dress. She's from Kansas, and lived in Dallas for three years, she tells Brad when she learns he's from Austin. He says, "We're going to get along already."
Brad says Kim's multicolored dress is "beautiful," and he asks her if he can "steal a hug." She's holding her shoes in her hand because she was worried she might be taller than him. (She isn't.)
Sarah tells Brad she's heard wonderful things about him, but that she still didn't know his name was Brad. "We were trying to read your lips in the limo," she says, and had guessed his name was "Brian." She then gives him a hug.
Bettina, wearing a short, silver dress, appears more demure than the rest of the Bachelorettes. He tells her he likes her name and asks her for a hug.
Brad tells Jessica that she looks beautiful in her long blue dress. She says, "They told me you were hot, but I didn't know I'd need a fire extinguisher!" He tells her, "That makes two of us."
Dark haired Morgan makes Brad laugh with a funny hand gesture and gives him a hug. She asks him how excited he is right now on a scale from 1 10 and he answers, "12!" "Me too," she smiles.
Rigina, in a short, red dress, introduces herself as "Miss Brown Sugar," then adds that she's just kidding. She tells him she loves a man with an accent.
Brad tells curly haired Erin he likes her smile and she gives him a kiss on the cheek. She asks him if he's a sports fan and when he says he is, she tells him she can't wait to tell him how she broke her face playing football four months ago. "And you're still this beautiful?" he exclaims.
Tauni greets Brad with, "Hey, handsome." She asks where he's from and tells him she's from Minneapolis, but she lived in San Antonio for a while and has a good friend who lives in Austin.
DeAnna tells Brad hello in Greek. She says she's nervous and has him feel the pulse at the base of her neck.
The next Bachelorette introduces herself as "Juli, without the 'e' at the end." He responds that he's, "Brad with a 'd,'" and they both laugh. Since she's from the Windy City, she blows him a kiss.
McCarten, wearing a short, pale yellow dress, gives Brad a hug. He tells her he likes her name and she says it's Irish. She also tells him she had good dreams about him the night before. He says he can't wait to talk to her inside.
Susan asks Brad to remember, "I'm the girl in the silver dress," and does a full 360 degree turn so he can admire it.
Blonde Lindsey from Michigan tells Brad, "So far, so good," and asks that he "makes sure" he he talks to her inside.
Kristy shakes Brad's hand, then goes in for a hug. She asks him if he's feeling stressed out and then tells him she's an acupuncturist, and she'd love to give him a treatment if he needs to relax. She then asks for one more hug.
Solisa takes both of Brad's hands in hers. He's astounded when she tells him she's also from Austin, Texas.
Estefania introduces herself as "Steffi" and gives him a kiss on the cheek, saying that's how they do things in Argentina, where's she's from. She lives in Atlanta, but says that she's an "international citizen of the world."
Hillary tells Brad she's a nurse from Philadelphia and she hopes to "take his vital signs" inside. He admires her dress and she tells him she loves his blue eyes and hugs him.
Brad kisses Lori on the cheek and tells him it's great to finally know his name and not just "The Bachelor."
Natalie tells him she's "almost speechless" to see how good looking he is.
Mallory greets Brad with "Aloha," and tells him she's from Oahu. She says her heart is beating "so fast," and he pulls her in for a hug.
Michele tells Brad she's from New Jersey and gives him a hug. She tells him, "you're everything I'm looking for," and that she's going to be the girl he falls in love with, "you just don't know it yet."
Melissa tells Brad he looks "sweet," and he jokes that he has everyone fooled
Brad says that Jade is a beautiful name and twirls her around and then she twirls him! She asks him if he believes in love at first sight and he says, "Now I do." She tells him he has "gorgeous eyes."
Now that he's met all 25 Bachelorettes, Host Chris tells Brad that inside is a First Impression Rose that he should now give to the one girl Brad is sure he wants to stay. Chris advises him that'll mean his choice is safe, but it'll also create jealousy and competition for her.
Brad goes inside and the women all cheer him. He announces that they've all exceeded his expectations and thanks them for being there.
He notices that Kim has put her shoes on in the meantime and tells her she looks beautiful.
In their private interviews, Jenni notes that "Southern gentleman is so my type," and Hillary says her heart is "pitter pattering" over how hot he is.
His first one on one chat is with DeAnna, from Georgia, who tells him she feels like "the countriest person in this place," but he says he loves her accent. She's impressed that he takes off his jacket and puts it around her shoulders because it's cold. He asks if she's close to her family and she tells him her mother, who died of cancer when she was 12, was the strongest person she's ever known. She's a real estate agent who also bartends at night. He tells her they're going to get along really well.
Bettina, who lives in Hermosa Beach, tells Brad she hears he wants to learn how to surf and that she can teach him. He says meeting a surfer girl is "like a dream come true."
Acupuncturist Kristy doesn't mean a kiss when she tells Brad she wants to do a "tongue diagnosis" of him, but rather a reading of his energy, according to Chinese medicine. He obliges by sticking out his tongue and she reads some stress in the redness along the edges. He insists she stick hers out next, and he diagnoses "some stress, but much more happiness."
Hillary asks Brad the most outrageous thing he's ever done and he says, "Meeting 25 beautiful women in one night." Hillary says her most outrageous thing is breaking her nose on a bowling ball which is funny since Erin (of the "breaking her face on a football" anecdote) is sitting on Brad's other side!
Inside, the rest of the women fret that they won't get the all important one on one time with Brad, so Jessica, who's a journalist, decides to be proactive and go "interview" Brad, interrupting his time with Hillary and Erin.
Jessica asks Brad "What is one thing people may not know about you at first glance?" He tells her that he worked in the oil fields for about 10 years. He then asks her the same question and before she can answer, Susan interrupts with "Breaking news! The Bachelor's been kidnapped," and whisks him away.
A waiter brings in one red rose on a silver tray and places it on a table where the women were just discussing that 10 is "a big number" of Bachelorettes to be sent home immediately.
Michele declares that the show is "too serious" about the rose and when Brad asks if they should be doing "cartwheels and dance" instead, and Jenni says she'd love to be dancing. Brad confesses to the camera that Jenni is the one who stands out in his mind because he loves how she laughs at everything he says. She gets up and does a dance, to Brad's delight. Michele is annoyed that she helped boost Jenni's status by encouraging her to dance for Brad
Lindsey who also gets Brad's coat because she's cold offers to sing a song for him, so she half sings, half speaks "The Yellow Rose of Texas," since she just handed Brad a yellow rose.
Inside, the women are dancing like crazy without Brad. Bettina notes that "some girls are partying their booties off."
A seemingly tipsy Tauni shows Brad her "vibe," which is really just her backside.
Juli decides that to get the First Impression Rose, she'll have to do her "Human Pretzel" routine but first she puts on long pants under her dress so she can bend her legs behind her head without flashing him! McCarten declares she wouldn't have done that and pronounces the stunt "awkward."
Jade finds someone's stray "boob," a gel insert, and places it on the table. Melissa admits that it's hers, and that she's "trying very hard to be bigger boobed," but gives up and takes out the second one.
Jenni decides that, from a scale of 1 10, the odds of someone passing out tonight because they drank too much is "probably a 9."
Alone with Brad, Melissa drunkenly babbles about how sweet she thinks he is.
Morgan decides "desperate measures" are called for and shows Brad her webbed toes! Recounting the incident to the camera, Brad is laughing so hard, he has to wipe the tears from his eyes.
The other women's jaws drop when Mallory one ups them by showing up in a bikini for her one on one time with Brad.
He can't help but notice when Mallory goes into the pool behind him. He walks over to her and says, "Now I think it just turned into a party. Beautiful woman, beautiful pool." He confides that he wanted to jump in with her. "I think you should take your pants off," she tells him. Instead, he just rolls up his pant legs and dangles his feet in the water. She's pleased at having gotten his attention and isn't upset if the other women are jealous.
Brad excuses himself and goes inside to retrieve the rose. With every eye on him, he walks over to Jenni who's still wearing his jacket and gives it to her, after telling her he loves her smile and he loved her dance.
Jenni says she was not at all expecting to get the rose. The other women confess their jealousy, but when Jenni enters with the rose, they clap for her.
Host Chris tells Brad and the assembled women that that's it for tonight and in the morning, Brad will decide which 15 he's keeping, and which 10 he's letting go. In the "deliberation room," Brad looks over the women's photos to help make his decision.
Chris says he thinks Brad had a connection with DeAnna and Brad agrees she's a "vision."Brad was impressed with Lindsey's serenading him and was amused by Kristy's tongue reading. He admits that Melissa had had too many thingytails and that he prefers a woman who knows her limits. He also says that Julie's pretzel stunt was "a little strange" and he still doesn't know what to think of Morgan and her webbed toes!
Chris welcomes the women to the first rose ceremony and congratulates Jenni on getting the first rose.

Which means that Jessica, Juli, Kim, Lori, Melissa, Morgan, Natalie, Rigina, Susan and Tauni are going home. Tauni regrets that she's not going to find the love of her life right now. Lori is upset that she's the only one in her limo that didn't get a rose and starts to cry. Melissa admits it's a hard blow, being cast off on the first episode and doesn't have any idea what she did wrong, tearfully saying she just wants to go home.
Brad toasts "to a heck of an adventure" with the remaining 15 Bachelorettes.
