Thank you, Angie Kent!

There’s been a gaping hole in our hearts since The Bachelor finished up a few weeks ago, with Matt Agnew finding love with fellow cute nerd Chelsie McLeod.

But now the Bachie gods have finally blessed us with The Bachelorette 2019 – and leading lady Angie Kent is guaranteed to give us a hilarious ride as we join her on her ride to love!

WATCH: Angie Kent’s barely begun her turn as the Bachelorette and look who she’s kissing!

Tonight is definitely a new beginning,” our new blonde bombshell Bach babe spilled to camera as she hitched a ride in a limo to the mansion that will be her home for the next few weeks. 

This is a big deal and I’m taking it seriously. Like, sure I’m a jokester and I’m definitely going to have fun but I’m going to really give it my all. The thought of dating 20 people at once is quite overwhelming.”

Oh, you think you’re overwhelmed, girl? Think of the viewers!

Of course, Osher Gunsberg will be around all season to help her out. 

“Angie, tell me about you and romance,” he prompted before bringing on the gentlemen (as per her request!). “You’ve really never been in love?”

No. You know, you see those people and they’re just like, “Oh, I love you so much”? I’ve never had that and I want that where I’m just like, ‘Oh, I love you, I want to squeeze your face off.’ That’s what I want.”

Kicking off with the red carpet, the ‘gentlemen’ were definitely out to impress, with gifts, gourmet pies and gaudy costumes all pulled out in the hopes of impressing the Bach babe. 

But it was firefighter Jamie who nailed the first impression by bringing a ridiculously cute puppy to his first date.

“You’ve got muscles and you’ve got a dog… You’ve won. Do you want the rose?” Angie joked.

It might have worked against him though, with Angie decidedly unable to concentrate after the doggo joined the show. 

“I’m sorry, my head is absolutely gone. Like, I’m so… I can’t think of anything else when dogs are around. This is also probably why I’m single.”

Other contenders coming in hot? We loved fireproofer Timm’s cheeky smile and massive bunch of sunflowers (as did Angie).

“Did you know that I love sunflowers or did you just guess?” Angie asked him.

No, I just love sunflowers. I got one tattooed on my hand. I’ve always had ’em in my house. They’re so good, eh?”

Um, we can sense a winner coming on… And Angie can, too.

“Sunflowers are actually my sign – so, if I see a sunflower, to me, that’s a sign from my nanny that, like, I’m in the right place.”

The cocktail party that followed gave us a pretty good insight into most of the guys. Timm remained as sweet as he’d been on the red carpet (potential winner alert!), Jamie made it clear he has some super intense feelings for Angie (potential stage-five clinger alert…).

Kayde let everyone know that he would be this season’s grass-cutting snake (his words, not ours), and politician Jess firmly cemented his place as the villain of the year after making Jamie cry.

Apparently-carved-from-marble Carlin scored the 24-hour rose – a new fun prize that guarantees him 24 hours solo time with Angie on the first single date.

And all 20 boys were visibly shook when Osher announced that “Mark” was in fact Angie’s brother Brad, sent in as a spy to report back to his big sis about who was genuine, and who was making crude remarks about how incredible she looked in her glam white dress.

(To be fair, she did look bangin’.)

All in all, we’re definitely rating this premiere ep – and after saying goodbye to Oliver and Josh (sorry but, who?), we’re calling it: Angie’s Bach is going to be a must-watch season…
