'The Bachelor' 2016: Who made the best impression?

Ben Higgins for "The Bachelor" season 20 ABC

Several women made lasting impressions during the premiere episode of "The Bachelor" season 20.

In the first episode of the season, Ben Higgins chose Olivia Caridi, the lovely news anchor from Austin, TX, to receive the coveted rose. She immediately stunned Ben as soon as she stepped out of the limo.

During their first conversation, Olivia revealed that she gave up her dream job as a news anchor to join "The Bachelor."

But could Ben's interest on her last until the end of the season?

Ben also had a great time with Lauren Bushnell.

Rumors posted on Reality Steve claimed that the poised and charming flight attendant from Marina del Rey, Calif. captured Ben's attention, and she will stay until the final rose ceremony.

Another woman that made a huge impression on Ben and the viewers is the real estate developer from Dallas, TX named JoJo Fletcher. Among all the 28 women who joined the long-running reality dating competition, JoJo was the only one brave enough to introduce herself wearing a unicorn mask. Rumors claim that she and Ben will have something special and she will be in the final rose ceremony together with Lauren.

Becca Tilley, on the other hand, shocked Ben and the rest of the women when she appeared in the middle of the premiere episode of "The Bachelor" season 20.

The chiropractic assistant from San Diego, Calif. had her first chance to find love on TV during Chris Soules' stint on the show. But she ended empty-handed when season 19's bachelor chose Kaitlyn Bristowe to be the recipient of his final rose.

None of the women were glad to see Becca's return on the show but she reportedly became one of Ben's choices to stay until the latter part of season 20.

But perhaps the one who made the biggest impression during the premiere episode of "The Bachelor" season 20 is Lace Morris. She shocked everyone when she kissed Ben as soon as she got out of the limo. But she suddenly turned overly dramatic when Ben turned down her advances for another kiss and failed to make eye contact with her during the rose ceremony. It will not be a surprise if Ben will not choose her to stay longer this season.

More drama is expected to be featured in the next episode of "The Bachelor" season 20, which will air on Monday, Jan. 11 on ABC.
