ABC says Shanae is a girl with a "huge personality," and so she will apparently ruffle some feathers and rub some of her fellow bachelorettes the wrong way.

Shanae shared on The Bachelor premiere that she's a small town girl who had been testing the waters of an even smaller dating pool before her time on the reality TV show.

Shanae said she's very competitive when trying to get what she wants and the other women better watch out because she'd be coming into Clayton's season "hot."

And with that being said, Shanae pulled up to The Bachelor mansion in Los Angeles, CA, in a giant black pickup truck, which certainly made an impression on Clayton.

By the end of the evening, Shanae charmed Clayton and received a rose at the first Rose Ceremony of the season.
