Hey there, Bachelor Nation! With less than three weeks until the premiere of a brand-new season, the excitement is building. The most significant moment leading up to Jake Anderson’s journey as the latest leading man has arrived: the contestant bios are now available on the ABC website.
For the devoted fans, this means hours of dissecting the 30 bios to uncover hints about the forthcoming season. But if you prefer a quick overview, you’re in luck! We’ve sifted through all the details so you don’t have to. Here’s what you need to know as we gear up for the premiere of The Bachelor.
Young Contestants
First up, many of these women are quite young. Recent seasons have seen contestants skew younger than ever, especially since Colton was the lead at just 24. Now, while Jake is 28 and brings a bit more life experience, many of his contestants are still in their early twenties. Of the 30 women, four are 24, seven are 23, and Jenna, a nursing student from Illinois, is only 22, which likely means she was cast when she was just 21. This makes her one of the youngest contestants in the show’s history.
Flight Attendants in the Mix
Another interesting trend is the presence of three flight attendants competing for Jake’s heart this season. While the flight attendant falling for a pilot storyline might feel clichéd, it seems Jake is all for it.
Standout Profiles
Long-time viewers will recognize that contestants who often go far in the competition usually have more relatable bios. That said, here are some standout profiles that might bring some drama or humor to the show.
- Emilia: At 27, Emilia is a unique blend of cattle rancher and runway model. She studied ranch management and helps out on her family’s cattle ranch, even thanking her cows while milking them. Honestly, she could use her own spin-off series, but we suspect she’ll be a fan-favorite on Paradise next summer.
- Tara: At 26, Tara is also a flight attendant and is currently working toward her private pilot’s license. She has an interesting backstory too, having gone through a divorce at 22 due to pressure to marry young from her church.
- Maddie: One of the youngest contestants at 22, Maddie is all about her hometown’s nightlife. But could her party-loving ways be too much for a serious relationship?
- Kira: At 28, Kira is one of the oldest on this season, and her family background is quite traditional. With her parents marrying young and her siblings following suit, Kira feels pressure to settle down soon, especially since her mom is nudging her about it.
- Elena: Elena made headlines when she revealed that she conducts exit interviews with all her exes to figure out where things went wrong – can’t wait to see what she might have to say about Jake!
- Lina: Formerly Miss Teen Montana, Lina dealt with issues surrounding body image after winning her title. Having lost 80 pounds, she’s ready to embrace herself and come onto the show with confidence.
- Sophie: In a surprising twist, Sophie found out on Facebook that she has a long-lost sister, in addition to the four siblings she grew up with.
- Renee: There’s a lot to unpack with Renee. She openly shares her love for unconventional beauty treatments, like vampire facials, and she affectionately refers to herself as the “Turtle Princess” due to her quirks. With a history of heartbreak, she seems like someone who will make for compelling television.
- Victoria: As the emotional core this season, Victoria has faced significant challenges, having lost her father at a young age and dealing with family struggles related to addiction. Be ready with tissues when her story unfolds.
It’s hard to predict who will stick around long enough to showcase their personalities, but fingers crossed they all get the chance to shine. Jake’s season of The Bachelor premieres on Monday, January 6, on ABC.
