The Bachelor Ben Flajnik Season 16 Episode 1 Premiere Recap 1/2/12

The wait is over and tonight we are back with an all new 16th season of The Bachelor. It’s actually a good thing Ashley Hebert shut down Ben Flajnik‘s proposal on the August Bachelorette finale.  Otherwise viewers would not get to see the adorable wine maker, Ben Flajnik romance this installment’s dramatically diverse group of 25 would-be wives on The Bachelor.  Stay tuned as our sister site Fit Fab Celeb covers the show with all the up-to-the-minute results.

Official synopsis: Jilted Sonoma, Cal, winemaker Ben Flajnik begins a new quest for love as this durable matchmaking contest’s Season 16 bachelor. In the opener, Ben meets and greets his 25-would-be partners at the entrance to the Malibu mansion. (One arrives on horseback, another’s older than he might have expected) And re receives his first kiss before the opening cocktail party begins. Then come push-ups, a gangsta rap and a first-impression rose, and before the evening’s over Ben pares the team to 18.

Tonight will be the first time we have a four legged creature greeting The Bachelor when 27-year old, Lindzi arrives on horseback! In a shocking twist, one of the women are old enough to be Ben’s grandmother, a sprite senior citizen, Sheryl confesses that she is madly in love with Ben. But what is her real motive? Well, it is not for her, it is her granddaughter, Brittney, who is one of the contestants.

The show promises to have a lot of drama and the claws out as they go from 24 would-be wives to 18.  We will be covering the show with up-to-the-minutes results at our sister site Fit Fab Celeb from 8-10 EST HERE!   Are you  excited about the show tonight?  Sound out in the comments below and let us know!
