D.C. Contestant Survives First 'The Bachelor' Rose Ceremony... After Flexing Her Bicep

The highly anticipated 19th season premiere of The Bachelor aired on Jan. 5 and did not disappoint on the drama scale.

D.C. native Jillian Anderson must have made a positive impression on bachelor Chris Soules during their time together because out of the 30 contestants, the FOX news employee was one of 22 to receive a rose.

Anderson stepped out of the limousine, introduced herself to Soules, and insisted that he… feel her flexed bicep? Talk about making an impression! The 25-year-old former Washington Redskins Cheerleader Ambassador felt Soules’ bicep too, just for comparison, of course.

Anderson is very into fitness and says in the season opener that she can probably lift more than a lot of men.

Hmm… Should we expect an armwrestle competition between the duo on an upcoming episode?

There was already one drunk woman and a few more leaving the show in tears and it was only the first night. Imagine what more is to come!

Tune in every Monday at 8 p.m. EST on ABC to see how long the D.C. native continues her journey with the hunk from Iowa.
