bachelor memes

Last night's Bachelor premiere introduced Pilot Pete to thirty ladies who were thirsty for love - and probably fame. Going into the episode we have to admit we thought it would be boring. But the producers manage to pack a whole lot of twists, turns, and  laughs into the marathon three hour premiere. The most dramatic moments of the night were tied into the return (or multiple returns) of Hannah B, the Bachelorette from Alabama who blindsided Pete by sending him home not long after a prolific tryst in a god dang windmill! 

While the producers of the show seem to have worked some of their black magic to reel Hannah "Roll Tide" Brown back in, we're honestly rooting for the bold and sassy Tammy. Judging by Peter's behavior, however, the final rose will probably go to Hannah A. or Madison, who received the first impression rose and the first one-on-one date, respectively. We can speculate all we want, but as we wait for next week's drama, we're content to scroll through these memes and tweets. 

The moment that all fans of 'The Bachelor' have been waiting for finally happened last night - the fence jumping moment that has been teased since episode 1. While we still have a two-night finale to look forward to, a whole lotta drama happened (and we can expect more during tonight's edition of Women Tell All). 

First, Tayshia and Colton shared a romantic helicopter ride to a dreamy cliffside castle, where the pair made a lot of virginity jokes. Despite a lot of ogling and even a nip slip, Colton and Tayshia opted against a night of Fantasy Suite deflowering. Tayshia seemed a bit disappointed, but in the end was just grateful to get to know Underwood a little better. 

Next up was Cassie's date. The two seemed to be getting along brilliantly, sharing steamy kisses on idyllic Portugal streets, and goofing off in souvenir shops. The fun stuff finally gave way when Colton revealed that Cassie's father had not given the stud his blessing. Colton was hopeful that the duo could move past a moment that clearly shook Cassie to her core, but matters got worse when Daddy Randplph himself showed up to persuade his daughter to cut things off with the former NFL player. The evening culminated in an agonizing stretch of Colton and Cassie going back and forth, and Colton inexplicably announcing that she's the one he wants to end up with. Cassie eventually decided to dip, which led to the much-awaited fence-jumping. For a moment that everyone has been waiting for, it sure seemed anticlimactic. 

As can be expected, fans on Twitter went absolutely wild tweeting reactions, gifs, and even some well-crafted memes in response. Here are some of our favorites.
