Welcome to Janu-ARIE.
ABC kicked off 2018 with a new season of "The Bachelor" on Monday, and the premiere has given Bachelor Nation plenty to talk about.

5 Reasons You Might Actually Fall in Love With 'The Bachelor' Arie Luyendyk Jr.
View StoryNot only are some fans still hating on the network's decision to cast Arie Luyendyk Jr. -- the runner-up on Emily Maynard's season of "The Bachelorette" in 2012 -- they've already decided on this season's villain, amongst other talking points that erupted on Twitter after the episode aired.
From way too young to way too blonde, here are the four things Bachelor Nation is freaking out about.
Bachelor Nation Hates Chelsea
ABC
There's a new shark in the Bachelor waters and her name is Chelsea.
The real estate executive assistant from Portland, Maine, committed the first sins of the season by stealing Arie away from the group, going back for seconds, getting the first real kiss and consequently landing the first impression rose.
Unlike the other ladies, Bachelor Nation doesn't usually hate on the first impression rose winner, but since Chelsea continuously showed her stuck up personality since the moment she entered the mansion, there's a first for everything.
RT if you're watching the bachelor and already hate Chelsea

RT IF U HATE CHELSEA ON THE BACHELOR

Chelsea's the mean PTA mom who behind your back talks shit about the brownies you made for the bake sale #TheBachelor

Why does the bachelor always give the 1st impression rose to the wrong girl #TheBachelor pic.twitter.com/QX4V3Exgke
@AdamaJohn

@lacidachenhaus

Arie sure has a type, doesn't he?
Of the 29 women cast to compete for his heart, 13 are blonde (and almost identical), four are named Lauren, 2 are named Becca, and the majority of them work in the real estate industry.
Coincidence? Bachelor Nation thinks not.
How will the Bachelor ever choose which Blonde Ombre Woman to make his wIFE????? pic.twitter.com/JgmIFMbmIS
@DanaSchwartzzz
There are so many real estate agents on the bachelor this season, it should just air on HGTV.

View StoryThere's a 22-Year-Old
ABC
Bekah is a 22-year-old nanny, who introduced herself to the race car driver by driving herself to the mansion in a 1965 Mustang convertible, rather than taking a limo with the rest of the contestants.
She's adorable, smart and seems to be driving straight into Arie's heart, which is good for now, but Bachelor Nation thinks age will become an issue later on in the season once things start getting serious.
omg bekah on the bachelor is only 22 bitch wtf u doin tryna get married on a tv show to a 36 year old
@jacievickers
Bekah on the Bachelor didn't have an age listed because she's 22... I did research and this girl is only 4 years older than me.
@karlymcanderson
Bekah is 22, which means she was 17 the first time Arie was on the Bachelor. #TheBachelor

Can someone tell me Bekah M's age on the Bachelor??? A part of me thinks she's 8 but they won't show her age 🤔 #TheBachelor
@drewlenzz
Pretty sure we're going to find out Bekah is Arie's daughter #TheBachelor pic.twitter.com/PbQqLko2vZ
@IWatchBachelor
I love the part of the bachelor when all the women are 11 and the man is 100 years old and disgusting
@tweetrajouhari
Bekah is going to go far enough that she will be the absolute star of the next season of Bachelor in Paradise. #TheBachelor

NotMyBachelor is still alive and well on social media.
Fans rallied behind the Wisconsin native to land him the coveted role in the upcoming season of "The Bachelor," and were heartbroken when news came that Arie would be taking the crown.
Although some are now thinking, "Arie is the one," others are still missing the other salt and pepper hottie on their TV screens this season.
Imagine how much better tonight's episode would have been if Peter was the bachelor
@Jildooo
Me: peter isn't the bachelor so I'm not watching Me tonight: *watches the bachelor*
@RyleeWhitney
I know I should let it go bc it's been a while but I'm still bitter that Peter isn't the bachelor this season!! WTF.
@Abigailpoott
Episode 1 down and I have a few things on my mind: 1. I wish the bachelor was Peter 2. I wish the bachelor was dean 3. Can abc just give @beccatilley5 a show already? #TheBachelor
@karaamax
Wish I was a contestant on this season of The Bachelor just so I could get out of the limo and say “Wait, you're not Peter?” then leave
@laur_muir
Watching the Bachelor & Arie is not Peter but they both have salt & pepper hair so close enough I guess
