Amy (@RHAPRecapper) and Haley (@hstrong_) are back once again to RHAPup all of the premiere craziness – from limo entrances to the first impression rose!

Strap in and get ready for an all-new season of the Bachelor. This season’s eligible bachelor is Matt James, friend of former Bachelorette contestant, Tyler Cameron. Love is in the air in Pennsylvania as Matt and his 32 women begin their journey together.

the new setting at Nemacolin
first impressions of Matt James as the lead
the video packages shown of some of the women including Alicia, Sarah, and Abigail.
the good and the bad of the limo entrances, including Alicia’s ballet dancing, Katie’s vibrator, Khaylah’s pick-up truck, MJ’s pizza car, Kit’s Bentey, and Victoria’s crowns
Matt’s opening prayer before the toast
Abigail’s first impression rose
Matt’s conversations with the women at the cocktail party and the mini-dates
the preview, including more women showing up later in the season
listener questions and more!
