It sometimes takes time for fan favorites on The Bachelorette to emerge. Think back to guys like Jason Tartick — the status of his hair prevented viewers from growing fond of him right away, but he became a fave by the end of the season. In the case of one Season 15 contestant, an early cast photo may have convinced fans to write him off, but his appearance in the season premiere has gotten them majorly interested. Who is Peter on The Bachelorette? The pilot flew right into my heart, and it looks like he's cruising toward Hannah Brown's, too. Back in March, ABC released photos of 33 potential cast members for Hannah's Bachelorette season. The pics were infamously unflattering, fueling some pretty harsh Facebook comments and tweets. Peter's photo generated some of the kinder responses, with followers calling him a Chris Harrison lookalike and remarking that he seemed sweet. But compared to the feedback on other men, he wasn't exactly stealing hearts. Given these opinions, it was almost as if Peter was the equivalent of the best friend in teen rom-coms who's devoutly in love with the clueless main character. If you skimmed through the men's official photos once 30 contestants were confirmed, you noticed everyone's glow-up, but Peter unexpectedly stole the show during May 13's season premiere. First, he received an intro package, which is always a good sign that a contestant becomes a major part of the season. Peter discussed his family's love of aviation, explaining that his dad was a pilot and his mom was a flight attendant. Following the more subtle arrival of pilot Chasen, Peter exited the limo in full pilot uniform, complete with hat and sunglasses. Um, take all of my roses, please. ABC/John Fleenor Peter gifted Hannah with a pair of wings to pin on herself, saying, "I'm just hopeful that at the end of this journey, you and I can fly away together." His smooth entrance won over Hannah, while the sight of him in uniform got the plain-clothed Chasen nervous. When in doubt, always goes for the uniform, gentlemen. As the night continued, Peter shared his family history of aviation with Hannah, also earning praise from Demi and Katie in their surveillance van. Hannah opened up about always wanting to fly a plane, and the grin on her face had her friends convinced that Peter was a keeper. Does this mean Bachelor Nation can expect a helicopter ride this season? ABC Peter, 27, is from Westlake Village, California, and his ABC bio reads: In this pilot's family, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Peter's parents met while his dad was a pilot and his mom was a flight attendant. When Peter is not flying the friendly skies, he enjoys snowboarding, watching football, and line dancing. Peter's life motto is "you should live this life always expecting something great is about to happen to you." Could meeting Hannah be that next great thing? The bio also reveals that he once took a girl on a sunset flight to Santa Barbara for dinner and that he still lives at home. I don't know much about a pilot's typical schedule, but if you spend more time in the skies than you do on the ground, I don't blame him for staying at home. However, as evident by the Bachelorette premiere, Peter's certainly capable of smooth flying on his own. Here's hoping that the pilot flies toward fans' high hopes for his success. Season 15 of The Bachelorette continues at 8 p.m. ET on Monday, May 20, on ABC.<doc-sep>Season 15 of The Bachelorette is finally here and Hannah is fully ready to "roll tide" with the man of her dreams. After a disappointing Bachelor season with former NFL player, Colton Underwood, Hannah left the mansion with her head, and standards, held high. Fans have mad respect for a woman not willing to settle, or to feel like second best, which is why she gets the privilege of sorting through 30 available men, pining for her heart. Of those 30, who is Peter on The Bachelorette? This is one contestant that may challenge Hannah in all the best ways. There isn't a lot of information available on the 27-year-old Westlake Village, California native. His official bio is about the only real source of social media presence, and believe me — I've looked. According to ABC, Peter is a pilot and he comes from a pilot family. Actually, his mom and dad met while his dad piloted and his mom was a flight attendant. Dare I say, it was a match made in the skies? Flying aside, Peter is an avid snowboarder, enjoys a good football game, and — get this — line dancing. With a life motto of "you should live this life always expecting something great is about to happen to you," it's clear this guy is an onion with a ton of layers to peel back. Hannah might be just the gal to do it. And just FYI, but it looks like Peter is still living at home with his mom and dad, so that's definitely something Hannah will have to be cool with if these two are going to make it in the long haul. Craig Sjodin/ABC The season premiere of Season 15 looks like a real banger. The addition of "Hannah's Angels" — aka Demi and Katie, also from Season 23 of The Bachelor — will be by Hannah's side. Well, technically, they'll be in a shady van with surveillance equipment. Naturally. It looks like they'll have a direct line into Hannah's ear, giving their insight on each contestant. There's no way any of this could possibly go awry, right? I don't think "Alabama Hannah" will have any qualms about eliminating anyone who's not fully on board "the hot mess express," and she's earned that right. As a former pageant queen and Miss Alabama USA, she's accustomed to using that southern charm to carry herself with a certain level of sophistication — that is, until "Hannah Beast" comes out. It remains to be seen if Peter will be able to handle all of Hannah's quirks and personality traits, or if Peter is any good at finding love on TV at all. That's part of the fun and I expect Hannah will use all the awkward she has to bring out Peter's true self. ABC/Ed Herrera I wish there was more info out there about Peter, but he's either a private guy or just not into the internet and social media. In any case since he's a pilot I am banking on at least one flying date. Am I right?<doc-sep>
Bachelorette suitors only get one chance to make a first impression, and that first impression needs to differentiate them from over two dozen other men all vying for the heart of the same woman. It's a high bar, but Peter from Hannah B. 's Bachelorette season may be able to fly his way right over it. The 27-year-old pilot seems to be exactly what Hannah is looking for in a partner. Peter's ABC bio describes him as an apple that doesn't fall far from the tree: he comes from a family of flyers. His parents met when his dad was a pilot and his mom was a flight attendant, and Peter has followed suit. He hasn't quite followed his career out of the house yet, though — he's still living at home in Westlake, California. As for what he does when he's not flying all over the world, Peter "enjoys snowboarding, watching football, and line dancing" — so he has an eclectic mix of hobbies. His ABC bio continues that his life motto is, "you should live this life always expecting something great is about to happen to you," and that he once took a date on a sunset flight to Santa Barbara for dinner. Sounds like someone who knows how to sweep a woman off of her feet. One thing that that isn't mentioned in Peter's ABC profile, however, is his religious upbringing — which could help him to bond with Hannah. According to high school sports site MaxPreps, a young Peter Weber played Football for the Oaks Christian High School varsity football team in Westlake Village, California. The photo is a little old, but it definitely looks like Peter, and the graduation year matches up with how old he is now. So if that's the right Peter Weber and he's still practicing the Christian values instilled in him in high school, he and Hannah will be able to connect over their shared faith. Demi, Hannah's former co-contestant on The Bachelor, told Entertainment Tonight that Hannah is looking for someone "who's religious and somebody who is a man and isn't scared of anything." With religion being so important to Hannah, coming from that background could be what pushes Peter from being just another face on night one to making his way to hometowns, fantasy suites, and possibly a proposal. However, Garrett's bio also mentions that he enjoys going to church, and Luke P. apparently had "a religious awakening in college," which has led to the decision that "when he dates, it's for marriage." So Peter isn't the only contestant with the religious values Hannah is looking for, but it is one one of many things that could make him a frontrunner. Remember, Demi also said Hannah is looking for someone who "isn't scared of anything," and between the flying, snowboarding, and carpe diem life motto, Peter just might fit the bill. See if the hopeful pilot catches Hannah B. 's eye when The Bachelorette premieres Monday, May 13 on ABC.
