Мы знаем, что произойдет разговор с Ханной, который продолжился в сегодняшнем выпуске:

Потом Питеру придется объясняться с девушками, с которыми у него должно было быть свиданиие.

Episode 1

Welcome back and happy 2020, dear readers!

Just some notes before we get to the recap…
Several of you have written asking about my The Morning After videos with Flare. There unfortunately aren’t any for now but they might return later on in the season. If that happens I’ll be sure to alert you here. For now there are only the Flare written recaps, which post the Tuesday morning after the episode airs. ICYMI, this week’s Flare recap is here.
And now, let's recap...

INTRO

The season’s intro videos are pretty par for the course, but one quick moment in Victoria P’s video stood out to me. It was when her sister eagerly asked her if she was excited, and she responded with a pretty subdued…

Too many contestants’ enthusiasm tends to feel over the top to me, so I liked this simple, downplayed reply.
You can tell she’s excited but quietly so, maybe managing expectations.

This reminded me of a similar moment (that I also appreciated) during Lauren Bushnell’s intro video…

NIGHT ONE

In front of the mansion, with limos about to arrive, and after weeks of pre-season filming, fittings, and lead-up, Chris Harrison asks a question that, um, probably should have been asked (and most likely was asked) sometime in the weeks leading up to this moment. For example, Colton had a pre-filming sit-down at the mansion with Chris where they talked about his—gasp!—virginity. The timing of this question was our first clue that Hannah would become a talking point later on. I also have to point out Chris Harrison’s amazing professional straight face at Peter’s response…

Chris Harrison endlessly cracks me up. His face in the above moment is straight as can be, yet simultaneously screams, “Sure you are” and “Just you wait”.

In keeping with my tradition of sharing my first-impression notes from the limo exits, here are the women that immediately stood out to me…

Alayah, 24, orthodontist assistant: Striking but sweet. Her DRESS! Major frontrunner potential.

Sydney, 24, retail marketing manager: Solid one-liner with “Not every girl from the south makes bad decisions”. I feel like she could be a dark horse of the season.

Hannah Ann, 23, model: This girl is CON-FI-DENT. Peter seems pretty taken with her. Serious frontrunner.

Sarah, 24, medical radiographer: I like that she shows her nerves. I’m not getting vibes from Peter though.

Lauren, 26, marketing executive: Love how down-the-earth and normal she seems. Elegant. Good on Peter for noticing and commenting on her (spectacular) “power jumpsuit”.

Victoria P, 27, nurse: I like that she takes a moment before walking towards Peter. Not sure if she’s praying or just soaking in the moment or what, but I (and I’m sure most contestants) wish I’d done something similar to just gather myself.

Mykenna, 22, fashion blogger: Yay, Canadian! She’s very pretty and expressive and I can see her being a major player (if not a frontrunner) this season.

Madison, 23, foster parent recruiter: She’s the right amount of cool, the right amount of confident. Giant paper airplane - this is cute. Also I’m legit impressed by that airplane (even if she had nothing to do with it).

Tammy, 24, real estate agent: Metal detector gimmick. As far as airport/flight/plane gimmicks go, this is pretty cute. She seems fun.

Kiarra, 23, nanny: The suitcase girl. DAMN that’s impressive.

I’ve mentioned over the years that Chris Harrison’s sense of humor for some reason rarely makes it on screen. I filmed this show years ago now (man, time flies!), but I haven’t forgotten my surprise at how funny his on-the-spot quips can be…

The edge in his humor actually reminds me a bit of Andy’s, except it’s way cleaner/more PC.

Lexi, 26, marketing coordinator: The red convertible, which I’m 99% sure has been used in previous season entrances. She strikes me as smart and sophisticated.

Deandra, 23, home care coordinator: I had a laugh at the contrast of the provocative one-liner with her wholesome occupation, which of course flashes onscreen at this exact moment…

The contrast reminds me of Katie’s intro video from last season, where the placement of her voiceover served as proof that the editors are entertaining themselves…

Katrina, 28, sports dancer: I can’t get over the flawless delivery of the “hairless pussy cat” line.
The pacing, the way her eyes narrow on “pussy”, the Vanna White-esque presentation of the framed cat photo…

This girl should pursue a career in comedy. Seriously. I’m upset she was sent home Night One!

Victoria F, 25, medical sales rep: The “dry sense of humor” joke. I consider this a far less successful version of the above, not only in terms of the joke but especially the delivery. If you’re going to make a hyper sexual joke, you have to stick the landing. At any rate, she makes up for it in her endearing embarrassment afterwards.
I had to make a .GIF of Peter’s adorable expression as she walks away, where he watches her like he’s 12 years old and just spoke to his crush for the first time…

Jenna, 22, nursing student: The “emotional support cow”. Certainly one of the more random gimmicks of all time. Am I missing a cow or farm reference of Peter’s from Hannah’s season?

Savannah, 27, realtor: The blindfolded kiss. I get that she was going for “bold”, but I don’t love this as it robs Peter of HIS first kiss of the season. This season is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for him too.

Kelley, 27, attorney: I normally don’t love the “we met before” contestants, but Kelley seems as smart and realistic as they get. What impresses me about this exchange his how much he remembers about HER. I don’t actually get the impression he’s 100% on her, but rather that he really focuses on each person he spends time with. This is a great look for him.

Alexa, 27, esthetician: Peter, “How are you doing?” Alexa, with a shrug and zero affect, “I’m OK.” Hahaha! I like this girl. She has no idea what she’s doing there and I relate HARD.
