'The Bachelor' Season 25 has barely begun and it looks like we're in for an exciting season. From whacky entrances to top 4 spoiler leaks, the Matt James season promises to be all sorts of entertaining. 

The 32 contestants really took their first impressions extremely seriously, some more than the other. We got 26-year-old Alana serving us a cute 'Lady and the Tramp' spaghetti moment, we saw 26-year-old Kaili show up lingerie so that James could "dress her like a doll", and finally, we had Katie, a 29-year-old Bank Marketing manager who showed off her vibrator, that was going to keep her company until James came along. 

While many of these were hilarious, some simple and a few weird, one thing is for sure, these ladies are unabashedly going in for the kill (also, brownie points for creativity).
But, as the show goes, James has to send a few of these women home within the first episode itself, which is probably why that first impression better be a good one. 12 women got the chop within the first episode, here's a look at those who didn't turn out to Matt James' perfect woman.
