The latest season of The Bachelor is back tonight and by now you probably know that Brad Womack has been picked to be “The Bachelor” again and the controversy that began as a result. The controversy is the fact that Brad had the nerve to not pick ANY girl to marry him at the end of his first season! Why should he get a second shot at “love” on this show? Never mind the fact that he probably didn’t love either DeAnna or Jenni or any of the rest of those girls and didn’t want to be forced into an engagement that he knew would not last. Of course, none of the engagements from this series ever end in marriage except for the rare 2 instances, but that’s beside the point. Anyways he is back again as the “most hated Bachelor ever” and a lot of Bachelor fans aren’t happy about it and say they won’t watch. But most of them still will because they are hooked on the fake romance and potential marriages it could produce.
Like every year, though, for the past few, Reality Steve has gotten all the inside scoop of not only who Brad does picks in the end this season, but also who gets eliminated on every episode and the major storylines throughout.
So without any more delay, let’s get to the main highlights of everything you should see tonight on the January 3rd 1st episode:
– The recipient of the first impression rose is Ashley Spivey, a 25 year old nanny currently living in NY.
– One of the girls tells a knock-knock joke to Brad when she meets him out of the limo. It goes something like this:
Woman: “Knock-knock.”
Brad: “Who’s there?”
Woman: “24 women.”
Brad: “24 women who?”
Woman: “Exactly.”
This is only funny because even on the night they arrived, this girl still didn’t even know there was 30 girls on the show.
– Most of the girls left for filming on either Tuesday or Wednesday September 21st or 22nd, with filming starting that Sat. night September 25th. None of the girls were ever told 100% who the “Bachelor” was when they left for filming. Not until the limos pulled up the first night did any of the girls know 100% that Brad was the bachelor.
.
– Raichel Goodyear is the girl that waxes Brad’s arm the first night. She’s a cosmetologist/esthetician and she’s the one seen putting on the rubber glove in one of the promos.
– Inside during the party, Alli Travis is the one that bends over in front of him and asks what he thinks of her ass because an ex-boyfriend broke up with her because he wanted a girl with a more petite ass.
-In one promo clip, you see Brad on his knee in front of a woman in a black dress. That’s Sarah Powell. Apparently she tells him to get on his knee and repeat what she tells him to say.
Finally, here are the 20 girls remaining after the first episode:
– Alli Travis: 24, buyer for Abercrombie & Fitch, lives in Ohio.
– Ashley Hebert (pronounced “AY-bear”): 25, Madawaska, Maine. A longtime ex boyfriend died right before she came on the show. Has a tattoo on her wrist that says “Crazy Beautiful”. Currently attending dental school at the University of Pennsylvania.
– Ashley Spivey: 25, nanny from NY, gets the first impression rose, father died suddenly 2 years ago, which is probably going to be her storyline on the show. Probably thought Chris Lambton would be the “Bachelor”.
– Britt Billmaier: 24 or 25, Seattle, WA. Stanford grad, is a chef and works for a food magazine. Former gymnast, does some modeling, former “Facebook Fox”, and numerous other things you can google about her.

Her ex-husband is Jason Vena was the vocalist of the Seattle band, Acceptance, until their break up in mid-2006. He will be featured on the new album “Vessels” from Ivoryline on the song “The Healing.” Chantal and Jason were married from 2005 to 2009.
– Emily Maynard: 24, Charlotte, North Carolina. Mother of a 5 year old daughter, Ricki. The father of her daughter is Ricky Hendrick, of the well known Hendricks Motor Sports in NASCAR. Ricky died in plane crash in 2004. Five days after he died, Emily found out she was pregnant with Ricky’s child. They were never married.

– Shawntel Newton 24, Chico, California. She’s a mortician. Works as an enbalmer and funeral director at their family owned funeral parlor. Apparently she loves her job and wants to own that place someday. In fact, she even took the time to email “Ellen’s” show when they were asking people if they want to be on her show. Here’s what Shawntel wrote on Ellen’s website message board almost 2 years ago:
“Hey there Ellen. My name is Shawntel Newton. I wrote a lengthy email about a week ago on your ‘suggestion box’, on how I would love to be meet you sometime and talk with you. I live in Chico, California and I work at my dad’s funeral home. I am going to mortuary school in Sacramento so I can become a licensed embalmer and funeral director. I think it would be such an amazing topic to go over. I know it sounds sad and depressing. But I am a very lively girl and I think people get the wrong idea when they think of ‘funeral people.’ Your show is so awesome, I love you and this it’s awesome that you not only just bring celebrities on your show, but also kids, inventors and maybe one day a mortuary woman. You are great!”
