He'll then be introduced to his 25 suitors, including a Rozlyn, "stunning blonde" who is the first woman out of the limousines; Vienna, a "bold" bachelorette who asks to touch his abs; and a Ashleigh, who literally falls right into his arms.
According to ABC, the competition to impress Pavelka only intensifies once the season's initial cocktail reception begins, with Ali confessing a fear of flying, teacher Ashley donning a revealing flight attendant's uniform and steals him away from unsuspecting single mom Ella, and athletic nanny Elizabeth grabbing him for a quick game of touch football -- which then turns into a blondes vs. brunettes, barefoot-in-eveningwear football scrimmage.
However the mood returns to serious when The Bachelor host Chris Harrison arrives and reveals it's time for Pavelka to present one of the woman with the first-impression rose -- which he does after receiving help from Harris and fifth-season The Bachelorette winner Ed Swiderski.
The pressure causes one woman, Michelle, to break down in tears because she felt she didn't get enough time with him.
The premiere will conclude with Pavelka whittling his 25 bachelorettes down to 15 during the season's first Rose Ceremony.
Noticeably absent from the cast is Brittney Gammel. Gammel, a 25-year-old Learjet pilot from Franklin, TN, had conducted an October interview with her local ABC affiliate in which she had claimed to have been selected as a fourteenth-season The Bachelor bachelorette and revealed -- two weeks before ABC formally announced it -- that Pavelka would be the season's star.
