At noon, Lewis settled on his couch to tackle the messages and emails that had piled up since last night. He smiled as he saw the many congratulatory texts and emails about the premiere. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, especially for the first episode, and he was excited to hear what everyone thought about the rest of the season. Earlier, he listened to a few Bachelor podcasts from hosts over 35, who were surprised to hear him speak at length, as he wasn't known for being very vocal. His manager sent him a news article revealing that his premiere had over 20 million viewers, making it the highest-rated episode in the show's history, breaking a record for a series that's been on air for over two decades. Shocked but grateful for the support, Lewis then took to Instagram and Twitter to thank everyone who watched his premiere.
@LewisHamilton: Over 20 million viewers?! Wow, what an amazing night! 🌹 Thank you to everyone who watched my premiere episode of The Bachelor. Your support means so much to me! Get ready for an unforgettable journey ahead. 🚗❤️ #TheBachelor #Grateful
(After sending that tweet, he was amazed to see over 100k likes in less than 30 minutes. Overwhelmed with gratitude, he decided to send another tweet to celebrate this incredible milestone.)
@LewisHamilton: Last night's premiere of The Bachelor was a blast! Ready for more? It's time for a Q&A! Send me your burning questions about the episode and my experience on the show, and I'll answer as many as I can. Make sure to use #AskLewis #TheBachelor
(He then reheated leftovers for lunch, giving his followers time to fill his feed with questions before calling Lauren. After taking a seat on the couch, he eagerly scrolled through the hashtag on Twitter, already finding a flood of questions just half an hour after his tweet. As he sifted through the hundreds of inquiries, he chose to answer the safe ones while ignoring the more intrusive ones. Pulling up the first tweet, he smiled, thinking about his response.)
