The Bachelorette season 14 episode 1, titled Week 1, is the very first episode of the fourteenth season of the popular reality TV show. The episode introduces us to the new bachelorette, Becca Kufrin, who was the runner-up in the previous season of The Bachelor. This episode begins with a brief recap of Becca's time on The Bachelor, which ended with her getting her heart broken by the bachelor Arie Luyendyk Jr.
The episode kicks off with Becca meeting the 28 men who have come to compete for her heart. The men include a wide range of professions and backgrounds, from a venture capitalist to a banjo player. The bachelors all try to make a good first impression on Becca, with some bringing cheesy puns and others showing off their dance moves.
After all the men have been introduced, Becca starts to get to know them better through one-on-one conversations. Some of the bachelors reveal that they have had their hearts broken in the past, while others talk about their passions and aspirations. One bachelor even surprises Becca by revealing that he is a virgin.
As the conversations progress, Becca starts to form connections with some of the men. One particular bachelor, Garrett, catches her eye and they share a sweet moment talking about their shared love for the outdoors. Another standout is Colton, who reveals that he used to play professional football but left to start a charity for children with cystic fibrosis.
The first impression rose is introduced, which gives one lucky bachelor a chance to make a lasting impression on Becca. The men all scramble to make themselves stand out, with some stealing Becca away from conversations and others trying out unique skills like juggling. In the end, Becca gives the first impression rose to Garrett, which leaves some of the other bachelors feeling jealous and defeated.
The rose ceremony follows, where Becca has to make the tough decision of which men to send home. She is visibly emotional as she sends some of the bachelors home, while others are relieved to have received a rose. One awkward moment occurs when Becca gives a rose to a bachelor named Jake, who she went to the same summer camp with when they were kids. The other men are left wondering if Jake and Becca have an unfair advantage in their connection.
As the episode comes to a close, the viewers are left with a sneak peek at the rest of the season. It looks like drama is on the horizon, with some of the bachelors getting into heated arguments and Becca shedding a lot of tears. However, there are also many romantic moments to come, with Becca going on exciting dates and forming deep connections with some of the men.
