The Bachelor Mansion is once again open and the man of the house this time is no other than Latino Juan Pablo Galavis.

Juan is already overly familiar with the whole business - having been one of the pool of men from which Bachelorette Desiree Hartstock selected her kind of man. Though Juan has been a 'crowd favorite', he unfortunately wasn't able to snag a date with her supposed beloved.

He definitely has the upper hand now - with 27 women all lined and puckered up ready for him!

The premiere for the 18th steamy serving of 'The Bachelor' consisted of a fake baby bump, wandering dogs, a shoeless contender and of course, a shirtless Bachelor. Here are a few of the notable intros and entrances.

Clare Crawley, a hairstylist, raised brows coming out of the limo with a fake baby bump. No one really knows what inspired Clare to pull out such stunt - complete with grunting and holding her supposed 'pregnant belly.'

But the Latino Bachelor seems to be digging the whole idea of dating a preggo - or rather making her preggo. Whichever way, the creepy stunt seems to be working on Juan, prompting her to rub Clare's fake baby bump.

'Dog lover' Kelli Travis naturally showed up with her dog. Kelli brought Molly, her Cocker spaniel dog along with her at the Bachelor mansion. Although the undeniably cute four-legged creature seemed to have wandered off, it is safe to assume that Molly was Kelli's ticket to receiving the rose later on in the show.

Another notable female vying for a piece of Juan is Lucy Aragon who seemed to be in the mood to play Cinderella. Except that she left behind the whole pair and thus appeared shoeless with fowers in her hair in front of the Bachelor.

At the end of the show, some women were all smiles - receiving their roses. The - of the rose ceremony included Clare, Kelli, Nikki, Renee, Andi, Chelsey, Kat and Lucy among others.

Those who got sent home were Alexis, Amy, Ashley, Christine, Lauren, Kylie, Lacy, Maggie, and Valerie.
