Here's my first impressions of some of the new guys:

The now-engaged former Bachelorette spoke to TVGuide.com about how EM:HE revitalized her spirit, what it was like to see ex Jason Mesnick marry, how her own wedding plans are coming along, and what she really thinks about current Bachelor Jake choosing Vienna.

That is when you literally hold your chest and think how can I be so lucky to get an opportunity like this? I filmed the show in October and here we are.
