Creep alert! We're one episode into the new spin-off series, 'The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart' and we already have a creep on the series. The new spin-off series premiered on Monday night (April 13) introducing us to the 20 men and women who embarked on their journey to find true love. 

Host Chris Harrison claimed that the new spin-off series is more or less like 'A Star is Born'/ 'The Bachelor'. But one thing Chris didn't warn us about is Michael Todd who seems to be too much to handle, not only for the women in the mansion but for viewers at home as well. 

Over the span of six weeks, we will get to see some of the singles pair up and perform as a couple and individually, and in the end, there will be only one couple standing. While fans have begun rooting for their favorites already, there is one contestant they wish goes home during the first rose ceremony and that's Michael. 

Right from the second, he entered the mansion, he has been leaving everyone weirded out with his behavior. He walked in wearing a leather blazer, looked at a contestant and made her cringe right away by singing a song titled 'Hot Touch' and saying "I like your lips." That's not all, he has made advances on at least two women who somehow managed to wiggle their way out of the situation.

And all this went down, on the night they arrived in the mansion! At the end of week 1, there will be a rose ceremony where someone will be going home, and fans hope its Michael. Some fans claim that he is a creep and that cringes them out. While a few others compared him to Cam who appeared on 'The Bachelorette' vying for Hannah Brown's heart. 

"The fact that everyone is avoiding Michael like the plague makes me smile #LTYH," a fan wrote. While another shared, "I was really struggling with #TheBachelorLTYH ... until Michael Todd arrived. TV’s new Cringe King."

"Can someone come collect michael todd he’s creeping me the hell out #TheBachelorLTYH," a fan said. Another fan shared, "Michael Todd: “u wanna go in the hot tub?” All women suddenly trying to find the bathroom." 

"Michael Todd is Cam.. change my mind #TheBachelorLTYH," a fan wrote. While another added, "#TheBachelorLTYH can we all agree that Michael Todd is the worst? Also, what kind of name is Michael Todd??????" 

"Michael Todd just needs to go already he's just really creepy & just not all that!!" a fan said. Adding to that another fan wrote, "So Michael Todd is definitely going home today, right? #ListenToYourHeart." 

"Ryan has Grocery Store Joe energy, Trevor has Jed energy, and Michael "I like your lips" guy has Always Be Cam energy," a fan wrote. Another added, "Michael Todd might be worse than Cam #ListenToYourHeart." 

"Ah, so Michael is the Cam of the season. Got it. #TheBachelorLTYH," a fan said.
