The Bachelor: Patrick Dempsey May Have Competition for the Dr. McDreamy Title

Well, there will always be our FIRST Dr. McDreamy, but if you have seen this season's The Bachelor, then you know what I mean when I say our first McDreamy has some serious competition this year. Meet Andy Baldwin, or sorry, are we supposed to call him Dr. Baldwin? Is it just me, or is he a smidge too good to be true. You did not even need to be 5 minutes into the episode to peg him as Mr. Perfect, Dr. Perfect, Mr. Right, whatever you want to call him. And his initial 25 Bachelorettes caught on to this very quickly. What does this mean? 25 women all fighting over a too good to be true amazing man. Drama and dreamy, all in the same show. Who could ask for anything more? If you missed Monday's episode, this article will recap it for you and you can get to know both Andy and the girls a little bit better.

Let's first meet our new Dr. McDreamy. He is a lieutenant in the United States Navy, a doctor in the Navy. He lives in Hawaii and is a 6 time Iron man triathlete. And did I mention gorgeous? I could watch that man take off his shirt more than once. As you get into the show you really got to know him a little better. He wasn't just a Navy hunk, he was a real guy. He is a surprisingly down-to-earth boy next-door type. He smiled sweetly, complimented graciously, and even said gosh a few times. He is the kind of man that set up a foundation for his uncle when he passed away; the kind of guy who is moved to tears when he hears the Star Spangled Banner; and the type who loves down home family values, and once taught Sunday School. And like any of us, his just looking for his soul mate. He is a true officer and a gentleman, but if I seriously hear our host Chris Harrison say that one more time I may gag.

The eve of Andy's 30^th birthday started off with a bang. Preparing to meet his 25 Bachelorettes, Andy is given a rose, the First Impression Rose, and instructed to give it to the one who impresses him the most. It can be either the first or the last woman, it doesn't matter. Andy decides to give it to the woman who he feels an immediate spark with. It takes him a while to figure out who that is though.
