As soon as Cassie Randolph stepped out of the limo during The Bachelor's 23rd season premiere, we knew we smelled a front runner. The adorable California blonde greeted Colton Underwood with a box of butterflies in hand and said, "I have so many butterflies. Literally, I have so many butterflies." The semi-corny thought and sweet gesture definitely struck a chord with Colton, who slipped one of the fake insects into his jacket pocket while she walked into the Bachelor mansion.
Although Colton and Cassie's natural chemistry was evident right off the bat, sparks really flew when she landed her first one-on-one date in Thailand, where she spent the day swimming (and TBH, mostly making out) with Colton in the waters surrounding their own private island. During the nighttime portion of their getaway, things got intimate when they shared some alone time in Colton's bed, and he admitted that he's "crazy about" her. It's safe to say Colton's definitely smitten!
