The ABC press release dishes on some of the upcoming premiere episode of the Bachelor: An Officer & a Gentleman edition of the Bachelor. And yep, two girls are going to have waaaay too much to drink, much to our amusement! And as a bonus, one chick flips out when she doesn’t get a rose… let me guess, she is sure they have a connection and he’s made the biggest mistake of his life!
U.S. Navy Lieutenant Andy Baldwin, M.D., 30, a handsome undersea medical officer for a special operations dive unit stationed in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii - a real-life “officer and a gentleman” - is about to face the most exciting mission of his life: finding true love.
Andy, an accomplished triathlete and winner of recent humanitarian awards for his work in Laos last summer — on a military mission where he treated over 600 Laotians in remote mountain villages — begins his marathon run to find the woman of his dreams. In the premiere episode, “1001,” the bachelorettes arrive to party and meet Andy, and are quick to find out that the competition starts immediately - right as they get out of their cars. This time it really is a “first impression” rose that Andy must deliver to one lucky lady as she arrives, and it’s enough to send daggers flying between the 25 new bachelorettes.
Coincidentally, this first night also happens to be Andy’s 30th birthday, and the news spreads like wildfire around the room. The bachelorettes pull out all the stops to impress Andy: Linda, a female body-builder, challenges him to a push-up contest, Stephanie W, an acrobatic bachelorette, is so taken by the Bachelor that she literally does back flips for him in her evening dress in a must-see demonstration, and Tina treats Lieutenant Baldwin to a patriotic serenade of “The Star Spangled Banner.”
Andy will be cutting ten women in the first episode of the show. And we already have the cast list of the original 25 here.
