Hannah's a Force to Be Reckoned With
Hannah's "dramatic journey" to find love begins next week, and the promo is GOOOOOOD. There's men in Speedos, makeout sessions, and Hannah breaking down over the process.
"None of you know anything about me, and what makes me me, and things I've gone through. Nobody's even asked, because all we do is talk about stupid sh*t!" she yells at the guys.
In another scene, Demi and Katie roll up in a surveillance van to spy on the guys on night one -- leading Hannah to a confrontation.
But by the end of the season, multiple guys are "in love" with Hannah, and she tells one man she's "falling in love" with him.
The guys get territorial, fight in kilts, get fired up and send one man away in an ambulance. The promo ends with Hannah walking through a field of flowers, and holding onto her final rose. "I want someone to fight for me. That's what I deserve," she says.
Hannah's Story
"I look up to my dad, because my dad grew up really poor. He lived in his car," Hannah reveals before taking Chris to meet her father. "He walked into a barber shop and asked for a job."
"If you're gong to be representing my daughter, I'm going to need to clean up those rough edges," Hannah's dad tells Chris, before giving him a hair cut.
"She can be stubborn. She does what she wants. And that's the reason she hasn't met the right man yet," her dad continues, before Chris praises his hair cut.
Chris and Hannah Get Deep Over Breakfast
There's still over 100 days until kickoff (Roll Tide! Is that how this works?), but Chris reminds Hannah that she could be engaged by then.
The two then meet all of Hannah's friends and family around Tuscaloosa. "I feel like people are rallying around me and believing in me," she raves. "The love from my hometown is so incredible and is really the best way to start this journey.
Let's Meet Alabama Hannah!
Chris heads to Alabama to surprise Hannah -- and digs around her stuff while she gets ready.
"That's Joey Fatone. I did not know her dad was a Backstreet Boy!" Chris says while checking out an old photo of Hannah and her dad... uh, what? No, Chris. No.
"I think I know why you've been single so long," he jokes while snooping through her closet.
