Emily Maynard sure knows how to bring out the crazy! Bachelor Travis Pope arrived at the cocktail party with a huge ostrich egg in one hand and a promise to the single mom during the premiere of The Bachelorette on Monday (May 14)- watch video below.

To Emily’s amusement, Travis promised to take care of that egg throughout this journey as well as he will take care of the bachelorette’s heart and her 6 year-old daughter Ricki.

I’m going to presume Travis’ mission is to not break the egg, but wait a minute… is he really going to be walking around with it during his entire Bachelorette stint? Oh my! That earned him a rose at the first rose ceremony. Well played, Travis!
