'The Bachelor' Season 26: Fans root for Teddi as she bags first impression rose and kiss
The first rose ceremony on 'The Bachelor' certainly packs on the pressure when it comes to bagging a rose. After all, it boils down to making an impression while 30 other women are trying to do the same. So while some women try to squeeze in mini-dates, mementoes and other things to make them stand out, others go straight in for the kill -- a kiss.
So when it came to Teddi Wright, she wasted no time in letting Clayton know what she was there for. And she definitely ruffled a few feathers along the way. But it clearly paid off, seeing that she had Clayton absolutely smitten.

Teddi most certainly seemed to have set the trend, seeing that the next set of kisses came from Kira Mengistu, Elizabeth Corrigan and Rachel Recchia, a flight instructor, among others. Teddi certainly seems to have kickstarted the competition, as Teddi even went on to receive the first impression rose, setting her apart from the rest.
What do you think? Is Teddi a front runner for now? Clayton also had chemistry with Rachel and Genevieve, are they contestants to watch out for as well? Sound off below!
‘The Bachelor’ Season 26 will premiere exclusively on ABC on Monday, January 3, 2022, at 8 pm EST.
