He’s not done. Thirty seconds into his conversation with Savannah (after some god-awful beatboxing), he says, “I like your lips,” then raises his right eyebrow and leans in for a kiss. I was screaming too loud at the TV to hear what she said in return, but rest assured, she did not kiss him.
Jamie and Ryan are the first two to make a connection, mostly because they’re the first two in the house. Jamie is instantly into him, but she is then even more instantly into Trevor when he walks in. It’s very clear that this love triangle is going to be a main plot thread of the show. She’s thrilled that she might find the love of her life, because she’s been “waiting for this moment for so long.” A reminder: She’s 21 years old.
After they see their rooms and Chris Harrison explains the rules — everyone seems shocked when he mentions the men outnumber the women, because counting is hard! — they get back into it. Julia, who was born with cystic fibrosis and runs a music therapy non-profit, becomes a hot commodity. Sheridan is into her, but so is Brandon, and he comes in with the first “Can I steal you?” scenario of the night. He soon follows it with the first make-out of the night, and when he’s done, he whips out his guitar. If you find serenades annoying, you might as well turn this show off now.
Jamie is back talking to Shawn Mend … I mean, Ryan, and it’s going well. He leans in for a kiss and she obliges. What’s not going as well is Matt’s hot tub dip with Rudi, a 24-year-old who has dated “all of Hollywood.” He asks her if she “judges a person on how they kiss,” which is probably the second-worst attempt at seduction of the night, and Rudi suggests they wait. Meanwhile, the guy who claims the worst seduction attempt, Michael Todd, is at it again with Bri. He asks if she wants to go in the hot tub, and she says she needs to go to the bathroom. Oof.
Jamie, the most sought-after 21-year-old in “Bachelor” land, is now in the hot tub with Trevor, who is everything Jed from Hannah B’s season wishes he was. (Side note: Jed probably should have just stayed with his girlfriend for another year and waited to come on this show.) They start making out, and it gets steamy. Body language says she’s way more into him than Ryan — he seems more confident, while Ryan is the nice guy. More on that later.
The next morning, everyone is hanging out, singing and playing instruments. (Another side note: Imagine living next door to this house, with 20 musicians and unlimited alcohol: so much drunken singing.) Ryan gets the first date card and predictably takes Jamie, who agrees to the coupling but is visibly conflicted.
The date is pretty much music porn. They go to the Capitol Records building, where they record “Gravity” by John Mayer with Grammy-winning producer John Alagía (who produced for Mayer). Jamie is nervous, but Ryan agrees to change the pitch for her, which is supposed to be this grand gesture. They record the song and sound good
