'Joe Millioniare: For Richer or Poorer' was not without drama as the two-hour premiere saw the first elimination in less than 30 minutes of the show's start. One of the 18 women, Caroline Campbell was the first one to be sent back home. The reality show all but ensured that concept was everything and Caroline posed a direct challenge and that would not work well for the men these ladies were wooing.

The show already had a major twist added to its plot. Instead of just one bachelor as featured on 'Joe Millionaire', there will be two bachelors- Steven McBee and Kurt Sowers, ready to seek love on the dating show. The twist is that only one of the bachelors is really a millionaire, while the other is not. The ladies will get to pursue both the men and form a connection without knowing the identity of the millionaire bachelor. If you're curious to know which bachelor is the millionaire, then we got you covered. Steven is a millionaire bachelor with over $10 million in his bank account, while Kurt isn't so rich.

'Joe Millionaire: For Richer and Poorer' first elimination

Caroline Campbell is a 23-year-old recruiter who relocated from Illinois to Tennessee and was one of the women set to woo Kurt and Steven, but her hopes were short-lived after it was revealed that she and Steven knew each other after swiping on Hinge once. Although the millionaire never knew her directly, they followed each other on Instagram and that would be a problem as she knew his true identity, which would be concealed till the end of the series.

Caroline was seen talking to the producer and later Steven, as it was shown that she would be leaving the show. The contestant left heartbroken and in tears even while the other women were getting to know each other. With this, we can say, she's one contestant who may not be coming back because of her knowledge of who's who. On the note of eliminations, here's a quick heads-up: There'll be more of those in the premiere.

'Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poore' airs Wednesdays 8/7c on Fox.
