So when you have 25 guys competing for one girl, you’ve got to do things to stand out, right? Last night’s premiere episode of The Bachelorette revealed the tricks that some of these guys have up their sleeves.

There was Jef, who showed up on a skate board and “casually” tossed it aside as he walked toward the bachelorette. There was Aaron, who led with this line: “I’m a high school biology teacher but I’m here to have chemistry with you.” And Stevie, who danced in carrying his own boom box. And Tony, who brought a glass slipper to slip onto the Bachelorette’s foot.

Which moments got the Bachelorette’s attention? Well, we don’t really know. But we do know which moments during last night’s episode got social media tweeting. More info below.

The act that drove the most social activity was a guy named William Close who played a gigantic harp. The harp strings spanned the entire theater. Confusing? It makes more sense once you watch the video:

It’s interesting that two out of the top four most social acts already had significant online exposure prior to being on last night’s episode. The “Sexy Sax Man” has his own website, his own app in the iTunes store, and his top YouTube video has generated over 15M views.

And father-daughter singing duo, Jorge and Alexa Narvaez are practically YouTube legends at this point. Their YouTube channel has generated over 95M views. If you want a quick pick-me-up for your day, enjoy their performance from last night’s America’s Got Talent:

Here are a few highlights from Twitter during last night’s episode:

Social media conversation took off as the episode began, with fans eager to watch…

There was a slight uptick in buzz when baby Eriksen’s middle name was announced…

Wait for It is the best idea for a middle name! Barney is a genius! #HIMYM @NLaidlaw4

As the finale ended and Barney’s future wife was revealed to be Robin, many fans rejoiced…

(But of course, there are hazards to living in a social TV world…)

I would like to thank every single person on twitter who ruined #HIMYM for me by excessively tweeting the surprise until it trended.

But which moment during the show would drive more social TV activity? Justin Bieber hands down, right?…

It was a big surprise (to me at least) that while the Biebs drove a huge spike in social, the announcement of The Voice‘s Season 2 winner drove an even bigger reaction in social TV. Congrats to winner Jermaine Paul (@JermainePaul)!

Related: lots of celebrity royalty were tweeting about The Voice during the two-night Season Finale episodes. Here are a few…

Check out the infographic below for more details on the season finale of 2 Broke Girls.

Two particularly interesting things I saw in the data:

1. Significant Y/Y growth – Continuing a trend we’ve seen in 2012, this year’s Kentucky Derby took a big leap in terms of social activity. This number of social media comments for this year’s telecast grew 633%, as compared to last year.

2. People stopped tweeting during the 2 minute race – People often ask us, “Does tweeting stop during major moments on TV?” The answer is that it really depends: what type of event is it, how long the “moment” lasts, cultural significance of the event, etc. But for the 2 minute stretch when the Kentucky Derby race actually took place, the answer is clear: tweeting slowed significantly. In the time line trend above, notice a spike at the start of the race, followed by steep drop-off for 2 minutes. And immediately after the race ended, tweeting activity immediately went through the roof.
