So, did you make it through the entire three hours?

Yes, The Bachelor Season 19 Episode 1 was actually that long, as Chris Soules - the man once snubbed on ABC by Andi Dorfman - found himself on the other end of the rose ceremony for a big change.

His search for The One began with Chris having to cut 30 women down to 15 potential suitors; while, for the first time, parts of the premiere were shown live.

What were your impressions of Chris? Did you agree with who he selected? Did you somehow miss the opener?

Have no fear. Just sit back and watch The Bachelor online here!
