The Bachelor kicked off its 27th season on Monday with Zach Shallcross, a 26-year-old tech executive from Anaheim Hills, California, meeting the 30 women who are vying to be his future wife.
The pressure was on as the ladies tried surviving night one of the competition, and proved to be too much for one contestant, who went a little too far to get the Bachelor’s attention.
A long kiss between Zach and Greer, 24, a medical sales rep from Houston, done in full view of the other women, particularly bothered 26-year-old Fargo, Maryland business owner Madison, who was determined to kiss him before the night was over. Her attempt to force a kiss from Zach, wasn’t well received, and she knew it.
Before the rose ceremony, Madison pulled Zach to try to smooth things over with Zach, assuring him that she didn’t want to “force things,” and that he wanted her on the journey with him. Unfortunately, her aggression convinced him they weren’t a good match, and he decided to send her home.
Nine more women were sent home at the rose ceremony and 20 still remain following the rose ceremony, including Greer, who snagged Monday’s first impression rose and, Brianna, who earned America’s first impression rose during last year’s live Bachelorette finale.
Here are the 20 women remaining after the rose ceremony:
