Yes. Let's see. Aah!
Aah! Mommy.
My name is Emily. Mommy, I don't need to be pushed.
Oh, sorry.
I'm a single mom, and I cannot believe
I'm the bachelorette. That's wild.
How do you get so high?
I can't even begin to tell you
how grateful I feel to be the bachelorette.
I think this swing is broken.
My ultimate goal in all of this is to meet somebody
that I could marry and have children with
and that could be
that father figure in Ricki's life,
which I want for her more than anything.
Uh-oh. Whoa.
Whoa. Look.
My daughter is the most important thing
in my life, and I wish more than anything
that her dad was still here, but that's not the case.
Get all the sugar bugs out,
'cause I think you ate a lot of chocolate today.
We got engaged in February of 2004,
and then in October of 2004,
he was in a plane accident.
You ready for bed?
Yes.
Okay.
The plane had crashed, and, uh, nobody had made it.
It was the worst time
in my whole life, and, um,
I really wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
You want to say what you're thankful for?
That Friday afterwards,
I learned that I was pregnant with our daughter,
and I could not have been happier.
I'm thankful for love.
Oh, that's very sweet.
I can't even begin to explain
how much I love my daughter Ricki.
You want some pancakes? Yeah.
That is a lot of chocolate chips.
But I'm 26 years old, and you have to have a balance.
No potty talk.
More than anything, I want a family,
and I want to be a wife, and I want a husband.
So you had a good day at school?
Yeah.
I just want that life.
I get really lonely.
I mean, Ricki goes to bed at, like, 7:30,
and that's when it really sinks in
that it's just me in this quiet, empty house,
and that is when I get the most bummed out about it.
There's nothing else missing from my life
other than having a husband just to love me.
Hi.
You look beautiful.
Thank you. I mean, very b--I'm Brad.
I'm Emily. Nice to meet you.
It's so nice to meet you. It's so nice to meet you.
Can I hug you? Do you mind? Yes.
Okay.
When I came on "the bachelor,"
I was ready to move on and find love again.
You really do make me feel totally special,
and thank you for that.
Brad showed me a lot of things
that I didn't even know existed in guys.
I want you to know that
I am absolutely, completely falling in love with you.
I fell really hard for him, and I was definitely in love.
I had found my guy.
Emily, please make me happier than I've ever been
in my life and marry me.
I would love that. I would love to.
Without a doubt, I thought Brad was gonna be my husband.
I want to spend my life with you.
The day that Brad proposed to me
was one of the best days of my life.
Promise?
I give you my absolute word.
I felt like we were gonna be together forever.
I love you, babe.
I love you, too.
Where does your relationship with Brad stand right now?
Um, we're not engaged anymore.
Um...
But he's...
Sorry.
It's okay.
Um, I just had such high expectations
for everything.
When things didn't work out with Brad,
I was obviously heartbroken,
but being with Brad really taught me
that I have it in me to fall in love again.
He reminded me of that, and he helped me do that.
I am 26. I've been engaged twice.
Both times, I really thought that it was gonna work,
and I thought it was forever.
I can't go through this and fall in love
and then have it not work again.
Coming back to be the bachelorette
is a huge risk,
but meeting the person that I'm supposed to spend
the rest of my life with-- I think that's totally worth it.
Hopefully, he's here.
Good job.
I think being engaged is something that's really special
and something that should be saved
for the person you're gonna marry,
and so I really hope I fall in love and get married
and this is it for me.
Like a lot of girls, I've had my heart broken,
and it's hard to put yourself out there again,
but you have to, and you gotta just...
Put on your big-girl panties and move on with it.
And tonight...
Emily! Hey!
Emily meets 25 of America's most eligible bachelors.
The name's charming. Prince charming.
There's a helicopter coming?
It looks like-- whoever this is, we're all gonna hate him.
Oh, come on, man.
What if it's Brad?
- And then... - Emily!
The party gets started...
Aah! I'm just joking. Oh! Shut up.
I really felt that there was a spark there.
Me, too.
The night just got so weird already.
And the romance begins.
I would've walked here for you if I had to. Aw.
As soon as we saw that rose, people got tense. Pressure's on.
You mind if I steal her for a minute or two? What's going on, man?
- Well, I certainly mind. - I don't like him.
I think he's fake. I see right through him.
You can't let somebody else get some actual time with her?
I don't understand why he's so hostile.
It's all coming up tonight
on the exciting season premiere of the bachelorette.
Hi. I'm Chris Harrison,
and welcome to an exciting new season of "the bachelorette."
Few women from our show have left such a lasting impression
on viewers across America as Emily maynard.
The Southern single mom with heartbreak in her past
fell in love with bachelor Brad Womack,
and when Emily and Brad got engaged, we all hoped
she had finally found the love she so deserved,
but sadly, Emily and Brad broke off their engagement last year,
and Emily was left brokenhearted once again.
Tonight starts an exciting new journey for Emily,
and it all begins right here
in her hometown of Charlotte, north Carolina,
but this season of "the bachelorette" will be
very different than anything we've seen before
because Emily's journey is not only about finding
her soul mate.
The man she chooses to become her husband must also be
a caring father figure for her 6-year-old daughter Ricki.
Emily lost her first true love in a tragic plane crash.
Her second engagement to Brad ended in heartache.
Now all of America is hoping the time has finally come
for Emily to find true love again
and complete her family.
Emily's on her way here right now,
but before we welcome her back, let's take a look
at the 25 men who have come from all across the country
to Charlotte, north Carolina, to win Emily's heart.
I'm Kalon, and I'm from Houston, Texas.
I'm a young, fun, good-looking guy
with a few dollars in my pocket.
I can wine. I can dine.
I am the modern Southern gentleman.
I got a hot date I need, uh, I need a new suit for.
I used to be extremely loud and obnoxious and a womanizer,
but I just kinda hit this point in my life
where I did some self-reflecting,
and I made a deliberate and drastic change in my life
to be a more kinda responsible, down-to-earth,
uh, dependable person.
I'm so excited to meet Emily.
This is the first time I've really put myself out there
in a vulnerable state, and she could be my wife.
It could be the first day of the rest of my life.
I'm Ryan. I'm 31 years old.
I'm from Augusta, Georgia.
I played eight years of pro football,
and now I own a, uh, sports training facility.
Arm action. Good. Good.
I work with kids. I'm a mentor. I work with pro athletes.
I want to teach them to be able to do their very best,
no matter what it is that they're called to do.
I'm very excited about meeting Emily,
because I think that she's special.
The inner beauty that she has just pours out of her,
and that's the type of woman that I would like
to be with.
I'm Tony.
I'm 30, and I'm from Beaverton, Oregon.
Well, this is a great batch we got here.
I buy and sell lumber and plywood.
There's a passion in my life, and that's fitness,
but the most important thing about me is that I'm a father.
Okay. Ready?
My 5-year-old son Taylor is the best thing
that's ever happened to me...
Okay, Taylor, open your mouth and go, "ah."
And the reason I smile so much
and--and get up happy every day is him.
Uh-oh. Mr. hand.
When I was in college, I met what I thought was
the love of my life and got married,
but I found out that my wife had started seeing somebody else,
and now I'm just a single dad trying to find love,
and I think that I could possibly find that in Emily.
What has two thumbs and is gonna marry Emily?
This guy.
My name is Lerone.
I'm 29, and I live in Los Angeles.
Did you get the paperwork I sent you,
the purchase contract?
I do full-service real estate--
investments, mortgage, residential listings.
I love real estate.
You know, I'm in a great place now,
but the one thing missing is a partner.
I'm definitely a family man.
I want a family right now, and I understand that
a family is what I'd be taking on with Emily.
I think the fact that Emily is a single mom
is one of the most attractive things about her.
It's proof that she's strong, independent, she's responsible,
and that's exactly what I'm looking for.
I'm David. I'm 32.
I live in New York City, and I'm a singer-songwriter.
I don't want to, like, toot my own horn,
but writing songs comes natural. It's like walking.
It's a rush of emotions that are totally ineffable.
I've got a lot of songs specifically about
trying to find true love.
♪ Emily
♪ oh, oh
Emily is exactly the kind of woman
I would want to be with.
She's intelligent, well-spoken, well-postured, refined.
She's the quintessence of, like, perfect, beautiful woman.
We have all of these disparate facets
that ultimately converge.
There's going to be a chemistry there.
♪ Emily
I'm Charlie. I'm 32.
I grew up, perfect family, went to college.
Just pretty much lived just a normal life.
About a year and a half ago, I was involved
in an accident that could have cost me my life.
I was over at a friend's house,
and we were outside on his second-story balcony,
and it broke, and I fell about 15 feet.
I broke four ribs,
punctured a lung, fractured my spine,
and sustained a severe traumatic brain injury.
Through my recovery process, I started really thinking
about a lot of the things in--in life
that I'd really never experienced.
What do you think about a girl?
No? Yeah?
I'd never really gave myself an opportunity
to experience true love...
You gonna miss me?
And I'm ready to find love with Emily.
I may have had a head injury,
but there's nothing wrong with my heart.
My name's Jef, and I live in salt lake city, Utah.
Very rarely do people take me seriously,
just because of the way I dress, the way I act.
I like being underestimated because people,
if they really care enough to get to know me,
they're pleasantly surprised.
It sounded like anything we wanted to do... Yeah.
- They were up for. - Yeah.
I'm the CEO of a bottled water company,
and every bottle that's purchased,
we donate a portion of the profits into our charity,
and that charity builds Wells all over the world
for people who don't have access to clean drinking water.
I'm very different from business owners
that are--that are buckled down
because I'm young, and I want to enjoy life,
and I just want to find that special person
to share the rest of my life with.
I believe in the fairy tale ending.
I'm Arie from scottsdale, Arizona,
and I'm a race car driver.
I've been involved in indy cars for my whole life.
I've raced in the Indianapolis 500.
I represented the Netherlands, and I've traveled,
and it's been just a passion of mine.
I'd love to be married and find the right girl,
and I'm excited for the chance to meet Emily.
There's one thing I'm worried about.
I know Emily's ex-fiance also raced,
and he passed away on the way to a race.
Being a race car driver could bring back
some painful memories for Emily,
so I'm definitely nervous going into this.
I know that it's a big risk,
but I'm willing to take that risk,
and I hope she is, too.

Mommy!
Hey, sweet girl.
Hi, mommy.
Whatcha doin'? Nothin'.
May I try some of this on?
Yeah. You want some? Here. Look at me.
Cheese. Let's see.
There you go.
You're so pretty, though, you don't even need makeup.
Close your eyes.
Now you have it on.
Does my hair look okay?
Yes. Okay.
You look like a princess.
Thank you.
You want to go help me put my dress on?
Yes. I'm excited for you to see it.
It is so, so fancy.
The night we've all been waiting for is finally here.
Emily is about to embark
on the greatest adventure of her life.
25 of the most eligible bachelors in America
have come here to Charlotte just to meet her,
but before they arrive, let's welcome back
America's newest sweetheart-- our bachelorette Emily.
This is so crazy.
I am so nervous.
It's good to see you again.
You, too!
You look-- welcome to Charlotte.
Thank you. You look beautiful.
Thank you. It's so good to see you.
Can you believe we're here, we're doing this...
No. In your backyard?
No, I can't believe that I'm the bachelorette,
much less in Charlotte, and it's so wild.
I am so excited to meet the guys.
Well, they're on their way here, so before they arrive,
let's go in and chat, all right? Awesome.
Come on. Thank you.
Right through here.
Have a seat.
Thank you, sir.
Wow.
I know, right?
How are you doing?
I am so nervous.
I can't even begin to tell you.
I mean, how do you prepare for being the bachelorette?
I mean, there's no way.
Coming in here tonight, I'm thinking,
this could be the night that I meet my husband.
I, you know, I mean, that's really exciting, and I--
obviously, I-I want that more than anything.
I want to back up a little bit,
because you were--you were scared to do this...
Mm-hmm. In the first place.
Yeah.
Why?
Um... I was scared
just because I've been through a lot,
and, um... Mm-hmm.
I've, um, been in love twice, and I've lost it twice.
Right. I mean, it's scary
to put yourself back out there again,
and I fell in love hard, um, with Brad.
I really, genuinely thought that it was--that was it,
that I didn't have to date anymore. Right.
So much has been made of your past.
Mm-hmm.
You have such, um, such a tragic story.
I mean, you talk about the first love
of your life, Ricky... Mm-hmm.
And--and him dying, you know, tragically...
Mm-hmm. In the plane crash.
I mean, it's understandable why you have those fears.
Yeah, I think that, um, you know,
losing Ricky, uh...
Put a fear inside of my soul
that I don't know if I'll ever be able to shake.
Right.
To be honest, I don't want to talk
about that anymore.
Yeah. Um, I've really moved on from that.
Um, it's always gonna be a huge part
of my everyday life.
You know, we have a daughter together,
and she's always gonna be a reminder
of what I don't have... Yeah.
But, um, I'm finally at a point now
where it's a good reminder.
You know, I see things that she does... Yeah.
That reminds me of her dad, and it--it--
and it's cool.
It's okay. Yeah, it's awesome.
Let's--let's talk about
how different all of this is going to be.
I mean, for the first time ever...
Mm-hmm.
We're in the bachelor or bachelorette's hometown.
Mm-hmm.
We've never had a single mom,
and I know one of your hesitations
in--in doing this, becoming the bachelorette...
Mm-hmm. Was being away from Ricki...
Absolutely. Being away from your daughter.
Well, I mean, "the bachelorette" is--
it's a huge deal... Yeah.
But I'm very protective over her,
and I want to protect her throughout this--
this experience... Mm-hmm.
I think that being in Charlotte is gonna help a lot.
I love being able to wake up and make breakfast
and, you know, all--do all the everyday mom stuff.
And as we move five years down the road,
you find the right guy, what's that picture look like?
A minivan full of babies.
I want it so bad.
Mm-hmm. I want to be in love.
I want babies. I want...
I-I'm tired of being engaged.
I want to get married.
Can I give you a hint? What?
Let's not open with that speech to the guys. I know.
I thought I'd wait till, like, third date.
"Guys, I want babies."
Yes. Like, yesterday. "Yesterday."
The clock's tickin'.
But more importantly, I want somebody--
I want the perfect person to share that experience with.
I'm extremely happy you're here.
Thank you. I'm excited to be a part of your future,
'cause it does start tonight. Mm-hmm.
You have 25 incredible guys, all walks of life--
biology teacher, mushroom farmer,
CEO, football player,
single dads. Wow.
Really, you're gonna see it all tonight.
"The bachelorette" has come to Charlotte.
Yay! Let's do this.
Cool. Let's go meet these guys.
Awesome.
This is it.
Uh, I just felt that you got very nervous.
I did. It all just hit me at once.
Uh, my stomach hurts.
I can't, like, get a deep breath in. I'm--
why? What's going on?
I'm just nervous.
This is really huge for me, and I--you know, everybody,
all these guys have given up so much to be here,
and, um, you know, I'm--
I feel like I've given up a lot to be here,
and it just all hit me.
You know, I feel like it was just yesterday... Yeah.
I was in, uh, getting ready to meet Brad,
and... Oh, golly.
Okay. Yeah.
Are--are you ready? I'm ready.
Emily, you're gonna do great, okay? Ohh. Thank you.
Relax. Yeah.
Good luck.
Thank you so much.
Let the journey begin.
Thank you.
There she is.
- Oh, yeah. - She's beautiful.
She looks amazing. Wow.
She looks unbelievable.
Hello.
Well, welcome to Charlotte.
You look amazing.
Thank you.
Emily, I'm Sean.
Emily. Nice to meet you. Come here. Give me a hug.
Yeah. It's so nice to meet you.
You, too. I can't wait to, uh, talk to you
and get to know you a little bit and...
You, too. Okay.
Thank you.
You're welcome. Have a good night.
See you later.
Wow.
Hey.
Hi. How are you?
I'm David. Emily.
Good to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too. You nervous?
I am. I'm really nervous.
Who actually chose Charlotte? Was that your call or...
Well, I said that, you know, this is who I am.
I love Charlotte.
I'm glad that, uh, you're the bachelorette.
Well, thank you so much.
I'll talk to you inside. Sounds good.
Bye. Thank you.
See you in a little bit.
All right. See ya.
I'm a hugger. Is that okay?
Awesome.
A pleasure. I'm Doug.
Emily. Nice to meet you.
Very nice to meet you, too. I'm from Seattle.
Awesome. Well, welcome to the South.
I appreciate that.
Yeah. So, uh, I, uh,
I left a little boy at home, so I'm, uh--
oh, how old?
He's 11, almost 12. Ohh.
I was just gonna say, how is Ricki doing
with all of this? She is loving it,
and I think she likes the nanny more than she likes me.
My son is with my sister and my brother-in-law...
And I just-- he's gonna be spoiled rotten.
I was talking to him last night...
And he's like, "dad, I'm fine. I'm great."
I was like, "you don't miss me a little?"
He's like, "yeah, I miss you a little,
but just you go have fun." Aw.
Aw, so sweet. So...
Well, I'm so glad you're here.
Thank you so much. Really nice to meet you.
I will see you inside.
Sounds good. All right.
Hello.
Gosh. How are you?
Give me your hand. Oh. Oh.
Life's not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but the number of moments that take our breath away.
This is one of those moments.
Oh, well, you're very sweet.
You look absolutely stunning.
Thank you so much. Unbelievable.
So sweet.
Thank you. I'm Jackson.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you.
All right.
Emily!
Hey! What do you say?!
Excited.
- Me, too. - Whoo!
You look... phenomenal.
Oh, my God.
Look at this. This is exciting.
Hi. My name's Joe.
Emily.
I'm really excited to be here and to get to meet you.
God, you are gorgeous.
Thank you so much.
Thank you. I'll see you a little bit later.
Can't wait.
All right!
- There she is. - Oh, man.
- She looks fantastic. - Holy smokes.
Hi.
Hi. How are you?
Good. How are you doing?
I'm Arie. Emily.
Nice to meet you finally. Nice to meet you, too.
I know.
W-- well, it's so exciting to meet you...
You, too. Welcome to Charlotte.
And I hope to talk with you more later and--
absolutely. You look amazing.
You look stunning. Thank you so much.
I'll see you later. See you later.
Wow.
Hi.
You are absolutely stunning.
Thank you so much.
Hello there. I'm Kyle.
Emily. Nice to meet you. Whew. Nice to finally meet you.
I'm just in awe right now.
Oh, well, thank you. Turquoise is my favorite color.
Thank you. You got it right.
Thank you.
Well, good to meet you.
See you in a little bit. See you soon.
Hello.
Welcome. You're absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you so much.
Hi. I'm Chris.
Emily. Nice to meet you. Hi. Nice to meet you.
Welcome to Charlotte.
I feel truly blessed to be standing here... Ohh.
With you right now, and, uh... Thank you so much.
You know what? Before I came out here,
uh, I went to my family for some advice... Mm-hmm.
And I thought, you know what?
Who better else to call than my dad...
Mm-hmm. Who has been in love for 35 years
and married for 35 years? Ohh.
And he said, "Chris, just follow your heart and be yourself,
"and I promise you that Emily will give you a chance
at her heart." Aw.
And I pray to God that you do.
Well, I'm very excited to get to know you.
Thank you. Very nice to meet you.
You, too.
I look forward to talking to you inside. Yes.
Me, too.
Oh, so sweet.
Hi, Emily. How are you?
Fine. Thank you.
It's nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
My name is Aaron.
Nice to meet you.
I'm a high school biology teacher,
but I'm here to have chemistry with you.
Awesome. I think I failed both, so I have a lot to learn.
All right. I look forward to talking to you inside.
You, too. I'm anxious to talk to you a little bit more.
You, too. I'll come looking for ya. All right.
Emily. You're real.
You're real.
I've been waiting for you all night.
Good to see you.
How's the--ooh.
Thank you. I'm sorry.
That's how we do it back home, so...
Awesome. Where are you from?
Brazil... Wow.
But, uh, I've been in Minneapolis
for the last four years, so...
I'm so grateful you came here. So pumped to be here.
You look gorgeous. Thank you.
You look awesome. I would say...
So whatever that means to you... Well, I'm gonna say...
But I think you got it. "Gracias."
Got it.
So nice to meet you.
Yeah. Well, see you inside.
See you inside.
I was gonna ride that later.
Hi. Hi.
I'm really glad I didn't wreck.
I know, right?
I'm Jef. Emily.
It's so nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
You look amazing.
Thank you. Yeah.
You're welcome. You look great,
and you smell really good, too. Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Well, I'm really excited to get to know you more.
You, too. I'm really excited. Yeah. Thanks.
I'll see you-- well, I'll talk to you more
when we're in the house. Sounds good.
I'll come lookin' for ya. Okay. Thanks. Great.
Hi, Emily.
Hi. How are you?
I'm doing great now.
Great. Me, too. I'm--I'm Lerone.
Emily. Nice to meet you.
Very nice to meet you. Yeah.
I want to tell you that
I think the fact that you're a single mom
is one of the most attractive things about you.
Thank you so much. I think it shows that
you're a strong, responsible, independent woman...
And that's exactly what I'm looking for.
Well, thank you. That really does--
it helps calm my nerves for tonight.
Thank you so much. Okay.
I will see you inside. So sweet.
Good to meet you.
I'll--I'll come find ya... Bye.
All right. In a little bit.
Okay.
Get it. Wow.
Okay.
I feel like I'm in a nightclub.
I just wanted to make you smile.
Awesome.
It's a pleasure to finally meet you...
It's so nice to meet you, too. After so long.
What's your name? Stevie.
Stevie, I'm Emily. Are you a dancer?
I'm a dancer, an emcee, entertainer. Awesome.
I like to dance, but I'm not that good,
so maybe you could teach me a little bit? Oh, absolutely.
We'll dance maybe a little bit later. Yeah?
Perfect. See you. All right.
You look great, by the way.
Thank you. So do you.
How ya doin'?
Good. How are you? I hope you don't expect me to--to do that.
No, I don't.
I think he's gonna expect me to dance.
Here. I'm Charlie.
Emily.
My biggest concern... Nice to meet you.
Was that I was gonna trip and fall
and bust my face on those--
well, I'll probably wipe out a couple times tonight.
My heels are way too high for my own good, so...
I think we can get through this together, though.
A pleasure. I'll see you inside, okay?
Sounds good. Yes, ma'am.
See you in a little bit.
Hi.
You look amazing.
Thank you.
The name's charming.
Oh, well... Prince charming...
It's so nice to meet you.
And I'm looking for my princess. I believe in fairy tales.
Mm-hmm.
I believe in love... Mm-hmm.
And I believe that, if the shoe fits,
that me and my princess will live happily ever after,
so would you mind if I tried to see if this fits?
Sure. All right.
Sure. I believe in love and fabulous shoes,
so you know me well.
I think it's a perfect fit.
I do, too. It's perfect.
I feel comfortable in the shoes. Looks beautiful.
I feel comfortable around you.
I think I found my princess.
Well, here's hoping. All right.
Thank you so much.
Thank you. What was your name again?
Tony, but I also go by charming. I got it, prince charming.
All right.
Thanks for the shoe. Yes.
She is definitely a catch.
Whoever she ends up picking is gonna be a very lucky guy.
Yeah.
- I came into this... - Yeah.
You know, telling myself that this isn't a competition...
Yeah. But when I want something,
I'm gonna do everything in--in my power
to make sure that I get that... Yeah.
And feelings may get hurt down the road.
You know, it's gonna be tough.
I don't know, man. We're gonna have some competition.
I'm sure we will. Yeah. Oh, absolutely.
Sure. Tall guys, skinny guys, short guys.
All right. I think-- I'm sure there's gonna be some great guys...
Yeah. But there might be some that are a little out there, too.
- Yee! - Wow.
Here we go, boys.
- This is go time. - All right.
Oh. You look so beautiful.
I'm your biggest fan.
Well, thank you so much.
Yes. I saw all your episodes.
How are you doing?
Fine. Thank you.
I wanted you to meet somebody
that I think would be a great couple with you.
Yeah?
Yes. Who's that?
Well, I agree.
- Thank you, grandma. - Hi.
How are you doing?
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
Sorry for all that.
I just thought I'd be grandma, you know?
Very creative. Yeah.
You stuck out in my mind for sure. Okay. I appreciate that.
All right. It was very nice to-- What's your name?
Randy. I'm sorry. I didn't even say that. Emily.
Emily, very-- nice to meet you.
The pleasure is all mine. Thank you.
Very creative. Um... Yeah, right.
Bye now.
See you inside. See you in a little bit.
Hi. How ya doin'?
Fine. I hope you are.

Nice to meet you.
So nice to meet you.
You look gorgeous.

Okay. Oh, you smell really good.
Thank you.
I'm excited to see you in there.
I will come looking for ya. All right. See ya, Emily.
See ya in a little bit. Thanks.
So cute. Mm.
You are stunning right now.
Thank you so much.
My name's Brent. Emily.
Emily, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
Welcome. Oh, yeah. I gotta get a hug.
Yeah. Oh, my gosh.
I'm so glad you're here.
Well, I'm very glad I'm here.
I've got an idea... What?
'Cause I know you've got 25 guys,
so I know it's gonna be a little hard... Yeah.
So I got you covered for me.
Yeah? Yep.
So I got my name tag. Uh-huh.
You--and then what you do is, once you've got my name down,
you can come take it off for me.
Done. All right.
It's so nice to meet you.
You, too. Thank you so much.
Thank you. See ya.
How are you?
Good. How are you?
Good. I'm John.
Emily.
Nice to meet you. All my good friends call me "wolf."
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
I'm excited to be here. Me, too.
You look amazing. Thank you.
I'm excited you're here. Very, very excited.
All right. I'll see you inside.
Well, I will look forward to talking to you soon. Perfect.
Hi.
How are you?
I'm good. How are you?
I'm doing well. I'm Travis.
Emily. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
Um, so you're probably wondering why I'm holding this egg.
I am.
Um, this egg is a symbol
you and Ricki...
Ohh. That's so sweet.
And throughout this journey, I will take care of this egg
like I would take care of you and Ricki.
Thank you. Yeah.
Thank you so much.
You are so welcome. That's so, so sweet.
I almost dropped the egg. That would have been awful. No, I got it.
I got it. I'm not letting it go.
I am not letting it go. You are good.
Well... Yeah. All right. I'll see you inside.
I'll see you in a little bit. Bye, gorgeous.
- Hey. - What's up, man?
What's up, guys?
This guy's got props?
Oh, my God. What is that? Oh, who is this guy?
- I'm Travis. - What is that?
It's an ostrich egg. What's with the egg, though?
Trying to win her heart over at-- yeah.
Right there at first, you know? I feel like we--
yeah. Are you for real?
Whoo!
- Yeah, buddy! - There she is.
- Whoa. - Man.
Holy cow. Oh, wow. Look at that dress.
Hi.
Hello.
Hi. I'm Michael. What's your--Emily.
How ya doin'? It's nice to finally meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
I brought something for you... Yeah?
So that hopefully it helps you remember my name a little bit.
Awesome.
So I'm from Austin... Okay.
And, uh, I'm a big music lover, so... Yeah.
Here's a guitar pick.
So cool. Music Mike.
All right. Music Mike from Austin.
Yes, ma'am. I won't forget.
All right. Thanks.
See you inside. Thank you.
Hello.
Hi. How are you?
Good. How are you? Good.
How are you holding up?
I'm good. Okay.
Welcome. Oh, I needed a hug.
Thank you.
I'm Jean-Paul.
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
I'm really excited about this
'cause I actually don't know that much about you,
and I'm just really excited to kinda get to know you
in person, so... Yeah.
Well, thank you for being here. Thank you.
I look forward to talking to you soon.
You, too. Okay. Bye.
Hi.
Buenas noches.
How are-- ¿como estas?
Muy bien.
Me llamo Emilia.
Ah.
Yo soy de Charlotte, north Carolina.
Yeah. Nice. I actually live in San Francisco now, though.
Oh. Well, I'm so glad to-- yeah. It's so good to meet you.
You're here. Yeah, I'm so excited. It's...
Well, I'm gonna ask you what that means later.
It better be nice.
Yeah, it definitely is.
Good meeting you.
Nice to meet you, too.
Hi.
Well, don't you look amazing?
Well, thank you so much.
Can I get a hug?
Emily.
Good to meet you, Emily.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Ryan. I'm a little bit nervous...
Me, too. I'm-- I promise, I'm-- but you know what I did?
I went ahead and wrote everything down. You did?
Not everything, but there's a few things
that I wrote here.
Ahem.
I'm impressed. Yeah, I took some notes
so I could remember...
Exactly what I wanted to say to you. Ohh.
That's so sweet.
So... just so that you remember...
Everything that I was feeling.
So sweet. Um, I look forward
to--to being around you some more.
Thank you so much.
All right. See you in a little bit.
All righty. You better hold up that sign.
I will. I'm gonna go in there and show the other fellas.
What's going on?
There's a helicopter coming?
Oh, come on, man.
Seriously, dude, if somebody comes out from that,
like, as the last dude, like, it's over.
No way.
This is insane.
Honestly, who could this be?
What if it's Brad?
What if he comes out? I mean...
You know, it's like... Yeah, whoever this is, we're all gonna hate him.
Hi, Emily.
Hi.
Sorry I'm late.
Well, thank you for being here.
I'm Kalon. Golly.
That was impressive.
Well, good. Can we go inside? Absolutely.
Perfect. Your dress is gorgeous.
Thank you so much. Gorgeous.
I don't know who that is.
It's just some random dude.
Well, that was very impressive.
You definitely like to stand out, no?
Well, I, uh, gotta do what I can to keep up with you.
You're absolutely gorgeous.
Well, thank you. I'm very glad you're here.
I'm sorry if I made you wait a few minutes for me, but...
It's totally cool. I promise, it's worth it.
Thank you so much. I'll look for you inside.
Perfect. Thank you. Sounds good.
So nice to meet you. See you in a little bit.
Bye.
Is that really our competition, man?
All right. Congrats. He's got a chopper.
Chopper style!
- What's going on, guys? - What's up?
How ya doin'? Sorry I'm a little late.
I'm Kalon. Nice to meet you guys. Hey, man.
I saw you from above.
It looked like you were having a little party.
Right. Where's the bar?
She looks better in person.
I mean, she is beautiful. She's--
she's gorgeous, huh? Wow.
I definitely think, hands down, we're some lucky gentlemen,
- that's for sure. - Absolutely.
Yeah. Emily, 25 incredible men
from all across the country are now here just to meet you.
What do you think?
I am so excited.
I don't know what I did to deserve all these great guys,
but I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
Before you go, I want to remind you,
there will be a first impression rose
to hand out tonight. Mm-hmm.
The guy you give it to will be guaranteed
to stay through the next rose ceremony.
Do you know what you might want to do with it?
I don't. I feel like, I remember how nervous I was...
Right. Being in their position, so who knows?
Maybe the most nervous guy in the room will get it.
I don't know. With that said...
Relax.
Yeah. Enjoy the night.
Emily, the house is yours.
Great. Thank you.
Good luck.
Coming into this, we all knew she was stunning... Yeah.
Yeah. Sure. But then walking up,
I've never been that tongue-tied.
- I don't think anybody got it exactly right. - Yeah, right?
Wow. Hey!
Hey. Ohh.
Hey.
Wow.
Aw. Thank you so much.
- How are you? - Hi, Emily.
Golly, I'm nervous.
Are you? Don't be. We're all shaking in our boots, too.
Well, good. Yeah.
First of all, I want to say, welcome to Charlotte.
- Whoo! - Thank you.
Um, I mean, y'all have truly just blown me away.
Some of you have actually blown me away
with the helicopter entrance.
Thank you for that,
but I just want you all to know
how grateful I am that each of you are here.
I remember not that long ago, I was in the exact same position
and so nervous and didn't know what to say, what to do.
I also know, more than anything, that it really can work.
You just have to be open to it,
and, God knows, I am a hopeless romantic...
So thank you.
- Thank you, Emily. - Whoo! Whoo!
- So cheers! - Cheers.
Emily looks stunning.
One, two, three. Emily!
She, by far, hands down, is the hottest bachelorette.
All of us got out of that limo... All...
And we're like, "I wish I could do that again." Yeah. "I wish I could do that over."
- I mean, I do not remember a thing. - I thought--
No, you guys were all so great.
And I don't even know if I introduced myself.
I came out and I was like, "uh..."
I-I'm having the best time getting to know all these guys,
and they're all so interesting.
This is titanium.
Like, it got reconstructed and rebuilt.
Wow. Really?
It's okay. Yeah. Aah!
Oh! Shut up. I'm just joking.
You scared me to death.
I'm just joking. It's not. It's--it's real.
I think it's very cute that the guys are putting
so much pressure on themselves
to make a great first impression.
I have six kids, actually...
Wow. And I even brought pictures.
Would you like to see 'em?
Yeah. Definitely. I'll share 'em with you,
and you'll get to see my s-- um, pictures?
Oh. I brought pics.
It's a lot of fun having guys pull you one way and the other.
Hey, beautiful. I hope you don't mind if I interrupt. Hey.
It's awesome. This is not anything like my normal life.
How are you? May I get a few minutes?
Sure.
When I go to the grocery store, guys are not pulling me
in 15 different sections of the grocery store.
Hottest mom in the world. To the hottest mom in the world.
Yee! Yeah!
She's absolutely gorgeous.
Hello.
Like, uh, when you watch cartoons,
and the jaw just drops to the ground
and it's, like, dragging across the ground--that was me.
So I wanted to give you a little something
that I thought, you know, kinda shows who I am.
Okay. And you have no idea
what I'm about to pull out of my pocket.
I don't. I'm a little nervous.
So... Oh.
This is actually a bobblehead of myself.
I can tell.
Looks pretty good, huh? It kinda looks like you.
Yeah. That's so awesome. Can I keep it?
Oh, it's yours.
And... Really?
I got one of you as well.
Ohh.
No, you did not.
And I'll tell you something, you know,
they've been through a lot already together. Oh, my gosh.
I think it looks good.
Oh, my gosh. That's so funny.
So are you ready? We're gonna-- oh, my gosh.
We're gonna do a little scene.
I'm used to playing Barbies,
so this is like... Okay, so perfect,
so we're gonna be all right with this. I-I got this.
Emily, when I first saw you...
Mm-hmm. Coming outside the limo tonight...
Mm-hmm. I really felt that there was a spark there...
Me, too.
And I hope that something really good comes out of it.
Me, too. You know...
Chris is super hot and so thoughtful.
I like him a lot.
I thought we were, like, pretty normal.
It's pretty weird already.
That looks like a dinosaur egg.
It's an ostrich egg.
Really?
Don't drop it.
No, I'm just joking.
The egg, you know, it's a joke between the guys...
So is that what we're having for breakfast?
It is. Perfect.
But it's just kinda who I am, you know?
It's goofy. It's quirky. It's different.
You know, it's a little bit better
than coming in on helicopter and being ritzy.
I hope she's not really impressed by, you know,
material things that are just, like, whatever.
Well, I don't think she is, though. Just-- well, I-I mean,
I think she wants to connect with somebody. Yeah.
Well, and she, like, what she went through before
and how bad that must've, like, hurt...
I hope these guys are really good guys,
because I think if anybody has been through a rough time,
I think it's Emily, as--as far as love goes.
Her fiance Ricky died in a plane crash,
and so I think she deserves the best.
Let me help you.
Thank you. How's it going?
Good. How are you doing?
I'm doing all right.
Yeah? Yeah.
You're a hot item at this party.
Well, thank you.
You're welcome.
I set this spot up just for us...
Oh, well, I'm very grateful.
And I thought... Thank you.
I'd get us some champagne. Thank you so much.
You're welcome. So how are things?
Good. Yeah?
I've been looking for you. I haven't seen you out there.
I know. I've been getting to know all the guys
and hearing a lot about you. Yeah?
Uh-oh. All good things.
Jef makes me feel kind of like a nerd.
I don't know. He just had, like, a cool vibe.
Uh, well, I was really impressed with the skateboard and... The skateboard?
Oh, my gosh. That was so dumb.
No. I loved it.
I was hoping you were gonna save it,
and I could ride it.
I want--yeah. I--we can go find it.
I'm not the most athletic girl in the world.
That's cool.
I know that's really surprising.
No, that's way surprising.
It looks like you're really athletic. I know. I know.
Yeah, and you look amazing.
Thank you. Yeah.
I really like jef,
and he made a great first impression.
I am so happy I got to talk to you. I'm so--I'm so excited.
He is super cool,
and, um, I hope that he thinks I'm cool, too.
How are ya? Good. How are you?
You having--you doing okay? I'm good. I am.
I'm a single dad from Seattle,
and I feel like Emily and I would have common ground
in that, you know, we're both single parents,
and it could be--it could be a really good fit.
So this is a long night for you.
It's gonna be a long night for you, too, dear.
Where's Ricki tonight? I mean, like--
she is home. She has a babysitter.
Oh, that's-- and your son's in Seattle and...
Right. Yeah, he--I-- he lives--I have custody.
He lives with me, uh... Oh, wow.
And he actually wrote you a note, and--and I...
Aw. Ohh. My goodness.
Yeah, he-- Can I read it now?
Yeah. Yeah. Please do. Yeah? Okay.
So sweet. My baby.
I-- oh, my goodness.
Okay. I'm gonna read it, okay?
"Emily, hi. My name is Austin, and I'm almost 12 years old,
"and I live in Seattle with my dad.
"I've heard a lot of really nice things about you.
"I think you should know
"that my dad is one of the greatest dads ever,
because he always tucks me in at night."
Oh, my goodness. I want to cry.
"I'm proud of what he does, and he is always giving me hugs.
Also, he is really funny."
Are you? I'm gonna expect a joke at the end of the night. Y--
yeah. Of course. Done.
"My favorite thing in the world
is spending time with my dad."
So cute. Oh, my gosh.
"Hope you have a really good time. Austin."
Oh, my goodness.
That's my baby. Ohh.
I mean, this makes me want to cry.
Oh. I am so, so glad I got this.
Thank you. It really means a lot. You're welcome.
The fact that Doug's a single parent
makes me feel like he gets kinda what I'm going through,
and I certainly get what he's going through,
so I really hope I get the chance to meet Austin.
His little letter was so sweet, and just from that,
I can tell that Doug has really done a good job at being a dad.
- So how are you guys feeling? - That's really not that young.
Good. Yeah. Really good.
Fellas, Emily, hello.
Whoa. Hey.
Don't mean to interrupt,
but, uh, the first impression rose.
No hurry, but when you're ready, you know what to do.
All right. As you were. See ya in a bit. All right, Chris.
Yeah. Hey there.
As soon as we saw that rose,
people got tense.
Pressure's on.
We're both waiting for, uh, a chance here. Yeah.
What time is it?
I mean, if I don't get time tonight,
I mean, it's probably I'm going home,
so the clock is absolutely ticking.
Do you think that--that grandma thing... I--
I think--no, I don't-- in the beginning was--
I don't think the grandma thing's enough. Was good enough?
- No. I'd have to get some definite alone time. - Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah? Did you talk to her?
Not yet.
Really? It's driving me crazy.
Alone time with Emily is extremely important. It's...
It's everything, so I-I'm kinda freaking out.
I need to get some one-on-one time.
That's, uh... That is the first impression rose.
This is the fun part. Who's getting it?
We're all, deep down inside,
killing to get that first impression rose.
This is it, guys.
Like, we get one chance, and that's it.
Of course I want the--the first impression rose.
I mean, my mom always taught me,
first impression is-- is everything,
and, fortunately, I show up in a helicopter.
If you come in on a helicopter
and you don't get the first impression rose...
I don't like him.
Oh, man. I think he's--
I think he's fake. I see right through him.
I've done sales all my life. I-I can just totally read
that he's trying to, you know, win something.
He's not really in it for her. I just don't like him.
I thought I heard my name.
Oh, you're "helicopter guy," by the way.
Some of the guys are a little bit hostile towards me,
but at the same time, um, I'm kinda used to that.
Uh, obviously, I'm here for Emily.
Uh, I-I gotta explain myself a little bit.
I would love that. I know, uh,
I know I made a little bit of an entrance,
but at the same time, I mean, I hope you realize that,
I mean, I would've walked here for you if I had to.
Ohh. Well, that's very sweet, and that means a lot.
Do you think of yourself as, like,
a-a hopeless romantic or-- oh.
Oh, I-I used to joke that I was always
the, uh, hopeless romantic, and--and the hopeless continues,
because I still haven't found the--the right one. Yeah?
Helicopter guy is talking.
I'm certainly a mama's boy.
Oh, that's sweet. Um, raised by my mom,
a single mom, um, so I can certainly...
Wow. Appreciate, obviously, what you're doing,
and my hat is--is off to you... That's very cool.
Because we had such an amazing bond,
and I really appreciate her
for being such a strong character.
Well, I'm so glad you're here. Yeah.
Do you mind if I can steal her for a minute or two? What's going on, man?
Well, I certainly mind, but I-I don't know...
If I have any--any way to object.
Well, I'd--I would appreciate it.
Well, thank you so much...
Of course, Emily. And I'm so, so glad you're here.
It's so nice to meet you. Thank you.
Oh. Uh-oh. Treat her well. She deserves it. She--
I will. She's a princess...
Thank you. And she looks like it.
I'll see you later.
So how are you feeling?
I'm feeling good.
Helicopter guy--he was basically out there talking to her,
and then, uh, Sean came in, and, uh, he asked if he could
get some time with her, and the guy's just like, "no."
He asked if he--if he'd mind, like, in a nice manner...
Yeah. And he's like, "oh, yeah. I'd definitely mind."
Like, seriously. There he is right now.
Aah. Are you guys talking about me again?
Absolutely. Why aren't you talking about Emily?
Why are you talking about me?
You--you can't--can't let somebody else
get some actual time with her?
What do you mean?
He asked you-- he asked you nicely.
He's like, hey, do you mind if he gets some time? Oh, yeah. He did.
And you just... "I-I do mind." And--and I--
"absolutely." I said so.
I mean, I said, "of course I mind.
Who wouldn't mind?"
Uh, I-I mean, I'm here for her.
Really?
Should I--should I have just handed her over?
Why not? Yeah.
You had enough time-- time with her. Because I'm here for--I'm--
yeah. Absolutely. Everyone-- I'm here for her.
Intense. Uh-oh. Let everybody.
Well, I don't understand why he's so hostile.
You know, you all will g--you all will get a chance with her.
Ooh. Are you warm enough?
Do you want my coat? Oh, no. It's, uh...
Are you sure? I'm from the mountains, honey.
I'm--I'm good.
I just wanted to come
and steal some time with you. Thank you.
Emily looks amazing,
and I think there could be a connection there,
but I really think there's some important things
that we need to talk about.
Emily's ex-fiance was also a race car driver,
and he passed away on the way to a race,
and I know that obviously still weighs heavily on her heart,
so I don't know how she'll take me being a race car driver.
So I wanted to-- I'm--I'm a little nervous
about one thing, I'm going to admit.
Tell me. Like, so my background...
Mm-hmm. Is in racing.
Oh. So I didn't know if you knew that about me,
but, uh, I've raced cars since I was 14 years old.
Like, are you okay with that?
Um...
Yeah, I am. Totally. I love racing.
I love being at the racetrack.
Yeah. I have so many good memories there,
and it's a part of, you know, who I am.
It's really the only sport I know about
that I can--I can-- that's so cool.
I know like the back of my hand. Yeah.
I can tell you about racing. I can tell you about cars.
Yeah. That's, like, a huge, like, relief.
I thought it was really thoughtful of Arie
to let me know, um, about the whole race car thing.
I think maybe people would think
that I'd be kinda scared off by that,
but it's been a big part of my life,
and... he'd be hot in a race car.
Hey. How ya doin', Emily?
Hey, guys. And she's back.
Are you having fun?
We are. A great time.
Yes. Good.
Always.
Well, I'll be right back.
All right.
I'll see you guys in a little bit.
Oh, where are you going with that?
I feel like I have a really good group of guys,
but I know exactly who I want to give
the first impression rose to, and it's somebody
that made me feel like I deserved to be here
and gave me those butterflies in my stomach.
- Hi. - Hello.
Hey, beautiful. Guys, y'all having fun?
Yes. I will be back in a little bit.
Just passing through, huh?
I'll be back.
It's like winning the super bowl,
whoever gets the first impression rose.
Hey.
- Emily, welcome. - Yeah.
Here we are. Hello.
Have a seat, dear.
Can I st-steal you for a second? Yeah.
Oh, Dougie boy is getting the rose.
So are you having fun?
You know, yeah, I am.
I'm glad he got it.
I am, too. I'm not.
All right.
Well, it's been a long night,
and I just wanted you to know,
first of all, your son's letter was
so, so, so sweet and so thoughtful,
you know, and it's cool to have somebody else here
that kinda gets, you know, what I'm going through.
You know, missing your other half is...
Yeah.
Heartbreaking, so you have made me feel
really comfortable and, um, so good about myself,
so I was wondering
if you would accept the first impression rose.
Yes, I will.
Thank you. Awesome.
It looks so good on you.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
You know, now it's real.
Somebody else got the rose,
and, you know, we all obviously wanted it,
but I'm just glad helicopter guy didn't get it.
Of course I wanted it.
The first impression rose is great,
but I'm certainly confident that I'll still get a rose,
which, at the end of the day, is all that really matters to me.
I think I'm-- you know, I actually deserved
the first impression rose, so... it is--it's upsetting.
You know, we got the rose ceremony tonight,
and I'm nervous. I'm not gonna lie.
Are your nerves gone? I mean-- yeah, I mean, I-I--
Fellas, what's up?
Hey. Hey.
Good to see ya. How's it going? Chris!
Wow. Look at you.
I know, right?
Yes. It is time for the rose ceremony,
so if you would, come join me.
Mnh.
Coming into tonight, I was worried, like,
I'm not gonna like any of these guys,
and now I'm worried, like,
well, hell, who am I gonna send home?
I came here to see
if Emily is gonna be potentially my wife.
Obviously, I need to get the rose to--to move on
to that next step, so I desperately want a rose.
I just hope she saw enough in me to keep me around,
because I think we have so much in common,
but if I went home tonight, that would be devastating.
Welcome to your first rose ceremony.
It's been quite a first night.
That's because we have quite a bachelorette.
I can already see she's made a big impression on all of you.
Doug, you got the first impression rose.
Nothing to worry about tonight.
Congratulations. Thank you.
As for the rest of you, if you do not receive a rose,
you'll be going home immediately.
I wish you all the best,
and if you're ready, here's Emily.
When you're ready.
Thank you.
Well, I wanted to start off by saying,
coming into this, I was really scared.
I was scared that maybe you guys weren't gonna be into me,
or I wouldn't have the feelings that I hoped I would have,
especially in the first night, and you all have exceeded
my expectations a million times over.
It made me really hopeful, and I'm really confident
that it can really work out this time,
so thank you, guys, again.

Gentlemen, I'm sorry.
If you did not receive a rose,
take a moment and say your good-byes.
Hey, man. All right, dude. Yeah, good luck.
Thank you.
No, thank you so much. I appreciate your time.
Good luck Emily. Very nice to meet you.
It was nice to meet you, too.
Thank you so much. You, too.
Bye.
I wish you all the best. Thank you so much.
Bye-bye. Take care. I really do think you're wonderful.
Thank you so much for being here. Oh, thank you. Thanks.
You, too.
I'm disappointed, you know.
Obviously, I was hoping to get a rose.
The kids'll be sad.
My six kids definitely want me to find somebody
and--and be happy in that way.
She's an amazing woman.
She hit me like a freight train...
And, you know, I didn't think I would find love again,
and there's still that chance I might not.
At my age, with, uh, six kids, you know,
not a high probability, I would say.
Bye. Thank you.
Bye. Thank you for being here.
You have a great group of guys.
All right. Thanks. Thanks.
It doesn't feel good, you know?
I feel disappointed, sad.
This is definitely
one of the hardest and most intense things
I've gone through since going through a divorce.
She is, uh, a great, genuine, just real person,
and when I didn't get a rose, my heart was definitely broken.
It was devastating.
It felt like my heart fell on the floor
and--and got trampled.
So the first rose ceremony is over,
and even though it was really hard,
I'm really confident that I have a great group of guys here,
and I could not be more excited,
so here is to finding love in Charlotte.
Stay tuned for exciting highlights
from the upcoming season of "the bachelorette."
Coming up this season on...
Emily!
I want to meet my husband so bad...
- Oh, my goodness. - Look at this. Right?
And I'm so excited about this journey for Ricki and I.
Bermuda!
Aah! Whoo!
Emily is absolutely
one of the most gorgeous women that I've ever seen.
I am speechless.
Emily definitely did capture my heart.
This has to be the top moment of my life.
♪ Girl, you make my...
Emily's the girl
I'm supposed to spend the rest of my life with.
I believe in the fairy tale ending,
fell head over heels for her.
Hello, London!
This is something that Emily and I will never forget.
Unbelievable.
Yeah, it is.
I just love being around him.
Aah!
Ricki is gonna be with me every step of the way,
and I'm doing this just as much for her as I am for me.
You can talk and talk about how great you are with kids,
but it's time to put your money where your mouth is.
There is nothing more that I want
than to make my family complete.
Something real bad is about to happen in the house.
He was just saying, you know, things about Emily
and about Ricki.
Just got a bad feeling around you.
I don't believe half the You say.
There might be a side to him that I-I don't know about.
I actually heard, you know, him say,
"she has a lot of baggage."
That's, uh, Up.
I think you're gonna retract that statement.
She's been through a lot,
and I feel like she deserves to know the truth.
She should be warned of dudes like that.
One of the guys in the house referred to Ricki as "baggage."
I've never been so angry
as I am in this moment.
I wanna go off and go crazy
because that's how much I love my daughter.
Do you have anything to say for yourself?
Not really.
Then get the Out.
Hey, guys?
You won't believe what just happened.
I didn't know it was gonna hurt this bad.
If I was a single, 26-year-old girl,
it would be different.
But I'm not,
and I will protect my family till the day I die.
Sometimes in life, you have to take a leap of faith.
I wanna make this happen for her, Ricki, myself.
This entire journey, it's definitely been hard.
I could step into any role.
I would be the greatest father in the world.
You really did restore all my faith in all of this.
I feel like he is really ready to be a husband and be a dad.
Hello, there!
Oh, my God. I could die.
I know your story. It's very touching.
So I really hope you find true love,
'cause you certainly deserve it.
I am here more than anything to find love,
and it's... a dream come true.
I'm definitely sad to go home. I'm disappointed.
But... I don't know what she was thinking.
I think she missed out on a great guy.
I think she's missing out on a great body, too.
She didn't get to see any of this goods, so...
So, uh...
Um, I guess this is what she's missing out on.
Now I'm going home.
