The Bachelor's premiere [1] was everything we hoped it would be: scandalous, sexy, and filled with sharks, er, dolphins. There's a lot to look forward to on this season (if the preview is to be believed), but before we get too far into the season, let's take a look at the women we've already lost. Nick let go of eight women in the first episode, leaving 22 women [2] still hoping to score that Neil Lane ring.
