Several of Hartsock's bachelors will attempt to make memorable first impressions during their arrivals -- including Larry, a nervous ER doctor who tries to sweep her off her feet with his dance moves but fails; Nick R., a professional magician who makes something "magically" appear for her; Zak W., a "hunky" oil rig worker who shows off his six-pack abs; Diogo, a man who introduces himself in a medieval suit of armor; and Ben, a proud single dad who follows his adorable four-year-old son Brody out of the limo.
Once the cocktail party begins, the night's 19 roses will be brought out early and the competition to impress Hartsock only intensifies, as Nick R. announces he's going to make the Bachelorette disappear and therefore creates anxiety amongst his fellow bachelors.
The mood will then become quite serious when Hartsock hands out her first impression rose and the guys become increasingly jealous and competitive. At that point, Brad, a part-time deejay, whips out some hip-hop dance moves; Zak W. strips down completely and jumps in the pool; some suitors interrupt Juan Pablo, a "handsome" former pro soccer player, trying to give her a "dribbling lesson" outside the mansion; and Jonathan wants to show Hartsock his own private "fantasy suite" -- sparking an "explosive reaction" from The Bachelorette star.
The premiere will conclude with Hartsock whittling her 25 bachelors down to 19 during the season's first Rose Ceremony.
