Celebrity Chatta

The first episode of Bachelor Pad aired on Monday and let’s be honest it was nice to see some familiar Bachelor and Bachelorette faces: some we know, some we forgot, and some we’d like to forget!! This time though the prize and the stakes to win said prize are high up there with $250,000 up for grabs. Here’s a recap of what happened in the first episode:

Chris Harrison lays down the rules

Craig M., 34 from Ali’s season.

Afterwards the get a tour of their bedroom. The girls strategize right away and admit they want to vote out Craig M.

First competition: giant Twister game

Whoever wins the competition gets a rose and does not get eliminated. The girls didn’t want Craig M. to win so they could vote him out.

Final four: Jesse, Craig M., Jessie, and Juan. Then Jesse and Juan were eliminated. Nikki was relieved he got eliminated. Craig M., wins as Jessie made a mistake.

Craig M. is on his high horse saying he’s ”the king of the house.”

For winning he gets to choose 3 women to go a on date with him with one of them getting rose and will be safe.

Him and Elizabeth have a sit down and he asks her to join him on the date.

First night hookup

We see everyone tucked into their bunk beds but hear smooching. The next day the contestants try to figure just who was hooking up the night before. First suspects: Craig M. and Michelle. She was not too happy to hear the news saying, ‘it’s not cool.’

Craig’s date with Elizabeth, Gwen, & Jessie

The gang head out on their date to the beach. Jessie admits to Elizabeth that Craig M.’s cute. He picked Elizabeth in order to win her over. These two had a rocky relationship from the start as she says what he did to Jonathan was ‘hurtful.’ She wasn’t cool with the way he treated Weatherman in Ali’s season. Craig M. admits he would make-out with Elizabeth, and they are close to kissing.

Jesse and Natalie

These two had one-on-one time in front the fireplace. She ‘s into his tattoos and coming from a small town. Sparks fly as they kiss.

Which girl is safe??

Craig M., gives the rose to Jessie and she’s safe from elimination. The two had a private concert as Melissa escorted Natalie and Elizabeth to a car to take them back to the house. Elizabeth admits Craig M. should’ve use the date to win her over and now that she didn’t get rose, Craig didn’t win her over.

Jesse K. and Elizabeth

He tells her that by them being together or exclusive he says he could be bad for him. He also says ”it’s not about love, it’s a competition.” She tells him that she’s pretty much in love with him and they bicker. She tells him if he doesn’t treat her well that it could backfire on him. He gets him and leaves and she ends up crying. She admits it hurts that he doesn’t feel the same way.

The next day they talk to one another again. It seems like she’s pretty in love with him but he doesn’t see the same way. She cries and tells him he ‘doesn’t appreciate what I do for you.’

Tenley and Michelle

Michelle cornered Tenley in the bathroom and told her that she wasn’t too happy with her for starting a rumor about hooking up with Craig M. Tenley admits she was scared, as she was trying to leave and Michelle wouldn’t let her. Tenley ended up in tears as it seems like Michelle kind of freaked out on her.

Rose ceremony

Guy voted out: Juan

Nikki admits now that he’s leaving it’ll be better for her in the house. Juan says he’s ”disappointed.” Nikki didn’t even say goodbye to him.

Girl voted out: Michelle

Tenley admits she’s still shaken but happy Michelle’s gone. Michelle says Tenley could’ve turned all the guys against her and the rumor of her hooking up with Craig M. hurt her in the end.

Next week on Bachelor Pad

Backstabbing begins: the house is split between the insiders and the outsiders. Gia admits it’s the outsiders who have the power of the house.

Tune in next Monday at 8PM ET for a new episode of Bachelor Pad airing on ABC.
