WARNING: This post contains spoilers from Monday’s season premiere ofThe Bachelor.
It’s night one ofThe Bachelor, and the women are already accusing one contestant of having a “one-up” edge.
Viewers were introduced to Kelley Flanagan on Monday night’s premiere, and the lawyer admitted that she’d met leadPeter Webera month before entering theBachelormansion.
Flanagan, 27, was weighing whether to go on the reality series at a friend’s wedding when she spotted Pilot Pete himself at the same hotel for his 10-year high school reunion. She approached him, and there was a spark — so she signed up.
“I didn’t really want to do this at first. I kept saying there would be a sign from God to tell me if I should do this,” she told Weber, 28, after exiting the limo.
Here’s everything to know about theBachelorcontestant.
ABC
She’s an attorney.
She works at a Chicago law firm, Flannagan Bilton LLC, alongside her father and siblings.
She’s a world traveler.
Flanagan labels herself a “traveler” in her Instagram bio, and the photos back that up. Within the past year, she’s posted pics from a villa in Italy, a bustling street in Hong Kong, a rooftop pool in Singapore and a river in Bali.
She ended a long-distance relationship.
According to Flanagan’sABC bio, “her most recent relationship was an international long-distance affair where she was traveling to Jordan once or twice a month, but finally got to the point where she couldn’t see herself moving to the Middle East.”
Like any worthwhileBachelorcontestant, she’s partied at Stagecoach.
If she doesn’t win Weber’s final rose, she’s got a shot atBachelor in Paradise,where her experience atStagecoachshould give her another advantage. In April, she posted an Instagram of herself and two friends rocking jean shorts at the country musical festival now infamous inBachelorNation. The only question is: Did she happen to seewhat really went downbetweenBlake HorstmannandCaelynn Miller-Keyes?
She’s already generated some premium memes.
Flanagan’s chance encounter with Weber at the hotel raised eyebrows on Twitter — and prompted comparisons toYou,Netflix’s sudsy drama about a man who stalks (and sometimes kills) women he obsesses over.
We’ll be on the lookout for any Joe Goldberg behavior during the rest of this three-hour premiere.
The Bachelorairs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
