Hello Vancouver
Instead of L.A. we're in Vancouver, and everything is oh so Canadian. Skating, pine trees, seeing your breath in the air, stereotypical Canadian accent, this is Canada alright.
Our Bachelorette
Jasmine, 27, is a complete unknown from Kenora, Ontario which is also pretty much unknown. Our bachelorette is a nice and pretty hairdresser with long blond hair who wants "a small town guy at heart." Jasmine describes herself as a free spirit who wants to get married and travel 50% of the time...with her kids in tow. Any parents out there laughing themselves to pieces? I guess to believe in the "process" of The Bachelor franchise you have to be unrealistic.
The outlook isn't great: The Bachelor has 5% marriage rate, The Bachelorette has a 27% marriage rate, and The Bachelor Canada has a 0% rate. Yes Tim and April broke up a very long time ago. I made a full list of who's still together and who's not to prove it to you (click here for the full list).

Night one, woohoo!
Only 20 Bachelors here, which is about 5 to 8 fewer than the American show. Jasmine tells alumnus Jillian Harris that she's sure her husband will be in this group. There are certainly quite a few decent guys here. Not as flashy and less muscular than them Americans, but that's fine, eh? Hey, where's Damn Daniel?!?
More differences as compared to the American franchise
The camera work is shakier, the music is annoying, the host seems more nervous, everyone seems nicer and more mellow, there's much less drama, and after this season we will never hear from any of these people ever again.
Fun with ages
The guys are aged 25 to 36. Hope you like older dudes, Jazzy!
Highlights
- A musician named David serenades Jasmine and when he's done he ruins the moment by saying, "Top that!" and Jasmine hates this and tells him.
- A cowboy named Tony gets drunk on whiskey and tries to interrupt Butler in the Buff's alone time with Jasmine.
- Drew, a "born salesman" decides to be the worst ever.
- Kyle is 6'7'' and named his cats Miss MoneyPenny and Lord ThunderCuddles. At least we know why he's single. Just kidding, I kind of liked this weird dude.
- Kevin P. vomits due to food poisoning but still comes off as a catch.
- Jasmine reveals that her "explore" tattoo came free with two tacos in Bali.

First Impression Rose
The first impression rose goes to Mike, a sweet firefighter/paramedic from a small town (Jasmine likes!) who has a similar backstory as our bachelorette. Sadly, Jasmine's father passed away when she was 12. Mike's mom passed away when he was 8 years old. Both Jasmine and Mike say that they have had trouble finding love because they're scared to be abandoned because of the premature loss of a parent. This sweet conversation surely inspired a river of Canadian tears. There wasn't crazy chemistry here, but Mike seems like a genuinely kind and level-headed dude.
Twenty guys who want a rose, who stays and who goes?
ROSES GO TO:
Mike - Firefighter who got the first impression rose. Says he does charity work to make himself feel good but it also helps other people. Awwwwww. TOP PICK!
Kevin W. - Engineer who's number one question for Jasmine = "Why are you single?" Your conversation skills astound, Kevin W.
Drew - Salesman who is also giving a slimy sales pitch. Says gross things like, he's used to having his "pick of the litter" (barf!!!). Jasmine thinks his confidence is sexy but we know she'll eventually see the Truth. Drew's not as bad as Chad from Jojo's season, but he's less fun than a moose antler in your butt cheek. SEASON VILLAIN!
Thomas - Model who calls himself an International male model so he can brag that he went to Greece one time. His hair is flippy. He thinks he's single because he's a "deeper individual." Jasmine names him "Sexual Tongue." Not loving Thomas, but really hating his nickname.
Mikhel - Normal-seeming aviation engineer who gets the Most Canadian Compliment Award: "She's something, eh?"
Kyle - Tall Guy with two Himalayan Seal Point Cats who are his Children. TOP PICK (just because I like his cats)!
Seth - Bartender who takes bad Polaroid selfies and refuses to give up the photo.
Scott - Carpenter who made Jasmine a box.
Andrew - Consultant who got only one word in my notes (the word was: "Consultant").
Chris - Inventor who set a white rose on fire. He'd better invent himself some game.
Benoit - Host at Suite 701 in Montreal. Hey, I've been to that place!
Wale - Pronounces his name "Wah-lay." Occupational therapist who called Butler JP "No-Pack Shakur." Big personality.
Kevin P. - Deckhand who vomited. I googled "deckhand," it means you work on boats. TOP PICK!
JP - Butler in the Buff who came in wearing an apron...and nothing else. His outfit was like a mullet: business in the front, party in the back.
David - The musician who screwed up everything by being cocky after serenading Jasmine with a string trio. Dude shoulda seen how Wells serenaded Jojo by having All-4-One (a REAL band) sing "I Swear." Top THAT, David!
NO ROSE FOR YOU:
Ross - Spoiler, he ends up with Rachel. Just kidding, he was the welder with the thick beard and intense poem.
Dana - Did a backflip off a limo...right into obscurity.
Taylor - Gave Jasmine a pen and wrote his own exit.
Eddie - Clumsily set up a telescope and was sent back into the universe.
Tony - Gave a cowboy hat, received the boot.
I think I like Jasmine. She won me over when she told the guys to "Be weird, be whatever, be yourselves." Now that's a motto to live by.
Stay tuned, they're going to Jamaica!
