What happened in season 28 episode 1?

In the season premiere of the ABC show, Joey Graziadei met up with his 32 suitresses and got to know them better. Before the cast members arrived, he sat down with his family to talk about the show. His sisters noted that it would be "really cringey" to watch Joey kiss several women on-screen.

As the episode started, Joey's voiceover noted that the latest eligible bachelor was looking for someone "open," "adventurous," and "fun":

"Someone who feels very comfortable in their own skin."

As the limos arrived, fans were introduced to the diverse season 28 cast, which included sisters Lauren and Allison. While the two wanted to experience the show together, Allison admitted that it was going to be "weird" to date the same person as their sister.

While several cast members made an impression on Joey, Lea Cayanan won the First Impression Rose. Fans were first introduced to the season 28 cast member during The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose segment. Lea was handed an envelope and instructed not to open it until the season premiere.

The cast member asked Joey to meet her so they could open it together. The envelope contained the power to steal someone's one-on-one date with Joey. However, Lea chose not to use the power, noting that every one of the girls present had put their lives on hold to find love. This impressed Joey and prompted him to give her the first rose of the season.

During the first rose ceremony, the cast members who didn't get a rose and were eliminated were Chandler Dewgard, Kayla Rodgers, Kyra Brusch, Lanie Latsios, Natalie Crepeau, Sam Hale, Samantha Washington, Sandra Rabadi, Talyah Jackson, and Zoe Antona.

Tune in next week on Monday to watch the upcoming episode of The Bachelor on Hulu.
