Our "Bachelorette" begins (another) love journey

• Each handed out "first impression roses" to their favorite guys on Monday's episode.
• Windey had chemistry with Mario, a personal trainer, and Erich, a real estate analyst — who both earned a first-date kiss.
• She also seemed to have a spark with the contestant who arrived on horseback, inexplicably shirtless.

Driving the news: Windey, a former Broncos cheerleader, was picked in March to lead the new season.

• She brought her would-be-beau, bachelor Clayton Echard, to Denver during last season's "The Bachelor."
• Echard ultimately rejected Windey, giving her the chance to star on the new show.

Of note: Windey, an Illinois native, previously worked at the UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora, and graduated from UCCS.

What to watch: It's unclear what will happen if the two bachelorettes fall for the same bachelor. Even host Jesse Palmer said he wasn't sure.
