AceShowbiz - "The Bachelor: Listen to Your Heart" premiered on Monday, April 13. The new spin-off of the long-running ABC dating show featured contestants trying to find love through their shared love of music. In the first episode, 20 contestants, including marine vet Brandon, Bri, Sheridan and Bekah, arrived at the mansion.
Also among the contestants were Gabe, Savannah, former "American Idol" contestant Trevor and Jamie. Jamie and Ryan appeared to have a clear connection at first before Jamie started spending time together with Trevor once he arrived. Meanwhile, Matt and Rudi seemed to have hit it off, but he later admitted that he was into Mel.
After all 20 contestants gathered around, host Chris Harrison noted that there were 12 men and 8 women. Those who had no partner by the first rose ceremony would be eliminated. Sheridan and Julia looked like they settled with each other. However, Brandon appeared to set his eyes on Julia also and they made out. Also having some steamy moments was Jamie, who kissed Ryan before getting physical with Trevor in the hot tub.
During the first date, Ryan took Jamie on a date to Capitol Records. They got to record a version of John Mayer's "Gravity". The date went well as the pair made out at sunset.
Later, Matt got the second date card and he picked to go with Mel, which made Rudi upset. The two went to attend a private Plain White T's concert. At the cocktail party, viewers could see that some solid couples were formed. Among them were Chris and Bri, Brandon and Savannah and Danny and Bekah. Sheridan, meanwhile, interrupted Julia and Josh's makeout session as he pulled Julia aside to sing her a song. She liked it and then they kissed.
Rudi then called out Matt for not taking her on a date despite his promise. As for Trevor, he and Jamie further got smitten with each other as he sang "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" for her.
Now the moment that everyone looked forward to had come. At the rose ceremony, Savannah gave her rose to Brandon, Mel gave hers to Gabe and Bekah gave her rose to Danny. Chris received a rose from Chris with Cheyenne giving hers to Matt. Julia, meanwhile, picked Sheridan and Jamie chose Trevor over Ryan. However, Ryan was saved as Rudi gave him a rose.
