"The Bachelor" 2016 is set to premiere in a few weeks, and Reality Steve has the scoop on the premiere episode of the hit ABC reality series. It looks like Ben Higgins will be getting several surprises as he meets all of the 28 ladies for the very first time, but at the end of the night, seven of them will be eliminated from the competition.

According to Reality Steve, some of the girls' entrances will be very memorable from the moment they step out of the limo. The website reports that Maegan Miller brought her pet pony, and the pony is said to have stayed at the cocktail party for the whole night. JoJo Fletcher concealed her face by wearing a unicorn head, but she eventually took it off.

Mandi Kremer wore a headband with a giant rose on her head, while Breanne Rice reportedly gave Ben a bread basket. Some ladies were said to be planning way ahead as Jackie Dion gave Ben a "save the date" card for their future wedding, while Lauren Himle brought a bridal bouquet.

At the party, the website claims that Mandi, who is a dentist, gave Ben a checkup and ended up kissing him. But she wasn't the only girl who kissed Ben that night as Lace Morris also kissed him when she introduced herself. Meanwhile, Isabel Goodkind is said to have worn a pajama onesie all night. At the end of the night, it was news anchor and reporter Olivia Caridi who reportedly got the first impression rose from Ben.

So who were eliminated? Apparently, some of the girls' antics didn't impress Ben as some of them were sent home after the cocktail party. The website reports that seven ladies were eliminated and they are Breanne, Meagan, Isabel, Tiara Soleim, Lauren Russell, Laura Esselman, and Jessica Moser. The 21 ladies who remained include Olivia, twins Emily and Haley Ferguson, and former "Bachelor" contestant Becca Tilley.

"The Bachelor" 2016 premieres on Monday, Jan. 4 at 8/7c on ABC.
