2. Caitlin’s Virgin Balloon

During Season 23’s limo entrances, Caitlin Clemmens approached Colton’s virginity in a strange way. It involved a red balloon that was supposed to symbolize Colton’s virginity. Caitlin popped the balloon in front of Colton and said, “Now that I’ve popped your cherry, we don’t have to talk about virginity anymore.”

She came on a bit strong, and her time at the mansion was short-lived. Caitlin was sent home during an after-party group date a few weeks into the season.

1. Clare’s Fake Pregnant Belly

Clare Crawley exited the limo with a very pregnant belly. She wanted to appeal to Juan Pablo Galavis’ paternal side as a single father. Crawley said, “I know you have a daughter, and I know you want more children, and I was thinking maybe adding to it!”

Galavis was relieved to learn it was a fake pregnant belly and the stunt paid off in the end. Crawley received the first impression rose and went on to be the runner-up of her season.

These are just a few of the most cringe-worthy introductions. What limo entrances left an impression on you or made you cringe? Share your comments below!
