ABC & ESPN Reveal Top Picks from THE BACHELOR FANTASY LEAGUE

Vanessa surprises and Rachel upsets in first round of THE BACHELOR FANTASY LEAGUE, the official ultimate fantasy game experience powered by ESPN, the worldwide leader in sports and fantasy gaming, for the 2017 season of "The Bachelor." The data before and after Monday's season premiere, which was the #1 series of the night, points to a number of fan revelations.

Before the show, Vanessa was not among the top four picked for a hometown date. Of those that did pick her, she was the top choice, making her the overall favorite for the Final Rose (14.33 percent). After the show, she is the leading contender in both Hometown Dates (10 percent) and the Final Rose (22 percent).

Danielle M. was the only bachelorette to be in the top four Hometown Dates and Final Rose before and after the show.

There was a dramatic upset for First Impression Rose. Most people chose Corinne (8.73 percent), but it was Rachel who received it (7.39 percent).
