Okay, anyone who has even heard of the Bachelor Pad knows what a train wreck it's going to be. In fact - it's a train wreck by design. It is 100% meant to be all the drama from season's past crammed into one household.The premise is thinly veiled with a competition for $250,000. You know that crazy music they play behind the people talking who are losing their marbles? Practically the theme music for this show. Needless to say - I'm in.
Chris Harrison introduces the Bachelor Pad in his casual attire - jeans, an open collar button down, and a navy blazer. He gives a brief explanation but no one knows how exactly this show is going to work - all living under one roof and sleeping in one bedroom. Let's see who is here!

11 girls and 8 boys! During the arrivals we get a little breakdown of how people feel about each other in the house. News flash - this is not the first time many of them have met. Aside from many of them being in the same season, apparently there are bachelor reunions so they all get together and hook up. Yuck.
So, the following information was revealed, not necessarily in this order.
Tenley likes Kiptyn, has met him before. Natalie likes Jesse B. - meeting for first time. Jesse B. likes Natalie. Natalie knows David from reunions and they are friends. David and Jesse B. think Gwen is old. Nikki had a one night stand with Juan. Nikki does not want to see Juan. Juan does not want to see Nikki. Elizabeth has been hooking up with Jesse K over the last three months. She loves him but does not think he feels the same way about her. Jesse K does not really feel the same way about her. Everyone thinks Michelle is crazy. All guys think Gia is hot. Gia has a boyfriend at home. Weatherman still hates Craig M.
Chris Harrison explains the game. Each week there will be a competition, the winner of which will receive a rose. The winner gets a rose (immunity) and gets to go on a date with whomever they choose. Guys will be voting off the girls, girls will be voting off the guys. Chris Harrison brings in his co-host Melissa Rycroft-Strickland and then invites everyone to explore the house. Guys and Girls are speculating how hooking up with people in the house will affect their game for the money.
Pool party time. The girls congregate and decide that they are going to vote off Craig M. tonight. Elizabeth in particular thinks very low of him because of the way he treated the Weatherman. Melissa comes out the pool and tells them it is time for their first challenge. And what better to play in your bikini than Twister? Body parts are everywhere. In the middle of the game, Elizabeth announces that the girls would want any guy to win but Craig M. So who wins? You guessed it - Craig M. He gets the rose and immunity. He also gets to take 3 girls on a date and bestow one of them with a rose/immunity.
That evening Craig wants to talk to Elizabeth because he thinks she doesn't like him. She doesn't like him and thinks he's mean. She tells him that she gets bad vibes from him but that he needs to win her over. Nighty night!
So in the night everyone thinks some people were smooching. Tenley thinks it was Michelle and Craig M. Note to Tenley - don't start rumors about someone you think is crazy. Michelle denies anything happened. The date card comes and Craig M. invites Jessie S., Gwen and Elizabeth. They get in their bikinis and hop in the limo to the beach. They play in the surf for a bit. Elizabeth asks Jessie if she would kiss Craig for the rose. Jessie says no, she's not like that. Elizabeth asks if Jessie would mad at her if she did. Craig and Elizabeth talk. Craig thinks they almost kissed. No you didn't, Craig.
Meanwhile, back at the pad, Krisily and Juan are talking - neither are here to make friends. Juan says if he had to choose between the money and the love of his life, he'd take the money and run. Natalie and Jesse B. are smooching in front of the others now. Gia and Juan think votes to break up couples would be smart.
So back on the date - they arrive at some arena all dolled up. They are met by Melissa Rycroft-Strickland who tells Craig M. that he has to give out the rose now and that the date is over for the other two girls. He chooses Jessie. Gwen and Elizabeth are sent home in the limo. Craig M. and Jessie have a private concert with Alex Band.
Back at the pad, Jesse K. tells Elizabeth that it is bad for his mojo for her to call dibs on him. Okay, what did we say about making crazy people mad? She's not crazy like psycho crazy - she's like obsessive fatal attraction kind of crazy. She tells Jesse that it will have bad consequences for him if he is hurtful to her. Good thing he didn't bring his pet rabbit!! Elizabeth leaves crying.
Michelle decides to confront Tenley about the rumor she started. Cue crazy music. Michelle traps Tenley in the bathroom where cameramen and producers can't get to her. She apparently block the floor with her foot. Michelle tears Tenley a new one using all sorts of profanity - you know Tenley thought she was going to kill her. So poor little fragile Tenley is crying to Elizabeth about Michelle abducting her and Elizabeth suggests that the guys should vote off Michelle.
It's over soon, I promise. Juan comes and apologizes to Nikki for being a jerk. She doesn't buy it or forgive him. Too little, too late. Krisily thinks that the girls should vote off the most athletic, smart guys first so that the girls can win the competitions! Natalie goes and tells David that the athletic guys may be in trouble. So guys are probably voting off Krisily or Michelle. Elizabeth and Jesse K. talk again and Jesse K. thinks he may have made a mistake. He will be nice to Elizabeth after all.
Everyone votes by going into a deliberation room and putting the photo of the person they think should go home into the ballot box.
Then they have a good old-fashioned rose ceremony but two of our guests don't get roses at the end. Michelle and Juan. Bye, Lunchie! Note to Tenley: Michelle seems like she might hold a grudge. Be thinking security options for after the show.
I'm exhausted!
