Meet the 30 Women Vying for Pilot Pete’s Heart on This Season of The Bachelor
Bachelor season is upon us, y’all.
With 2019 coming to a close, let’s recap The Bachelor from the past year: Colton jumping the fence, the iconic moment when Hannah Brown moved the podium, steering away from Luke P., and all the Paradise drama (too many to list). And before 2019, you can’t forget the oldies—romantic weddings and engagements (like Sean Lowe and Catherine Guidici’s romantic wedding), public and messy break-ups, and countless emotional breakdowns and crying (mostly from Ashley I.).
But season 24 of The Bachelor is here, and it’s ready to usher in 2020 with a bang. I’m holding off on all of the references to the windmill, pilot, plane, and any others that relate to the previous season or Peter’s occupation because I know that this season will include ALL of those.
I’ve rambled on and on, so here’s the list of girls, with a proper description, of course. There’s no specific rank, and I’m not judging based on photos or their description—I will do that come January 6 when I post a full recap of each episode (ack!). Here you go:
Alayah, 24
The Miss Texas 2019 from—you guessed it—San Antonio, Texas. According to Chris Harrison, she is the wildest rollercoaster part of the season, and actually afraid of roller coasters. What was that interview question?!
Alexis, 27
From Chicago, IL (a popular Bachelor casting spot), Alexis is a 27-year-old esthetician—basically someone who likes to rip hair off of people and conduct facials for a fee. She’s apparently known to be a “contradiction,” which means she’s “reserved, yet outrageous” according to Chris.
Avonlea, 27
I had to double-take my notes when I read this next gal, who coincidentally looks like Scarlett Johansson. This 27-year-old Texan is a cattle rancher and model—yes, both. The first half of her name, Avonlea, is literally a makeup brand. I am uneasy about this one, considering she’s destined to be an Instagram influencer.
Courtney, 26
This girl looks like she’s about to raise some heck in the mansion. She “appreciates patience and a good joke,” said Chris in the announcement earlier today, and is a cosmetologist from Venice, Florida. 26-year-old Courtney is here.
Deandra, 23
The third person from Texas, Deandra moved around a lot, but she settled in Plano, Texas where she makes her living as a health care coordinator. She’s very expressive and according to Chris, her father was “heavily involved in Nigerian politics.” Hmmm.
Eunice, 23
OMG… it’s a flight attendant. And not the first one—Eunice is from Chicago (surprise, surprise) and actually, she is a flight attendant who doesn’t like to fly. One of her colleagues is in the mansion as well, though. Hmm…
Hannah Ann, 23
This Tennessee gall just screams Bachelor winner (or future Instagram model). She came across as sweet and naive, and I can just hear her saying in her intro or whatever, “I don’t watch The Bachelor that often. I just want to find love.” She knows Hannah Godwin, from Colton’s season of The Bachelor. I think she might be a clear winner, or at least to the top four (cough, cough, fantasy suites).
Jade, 26
Another flight attendant, 26-year-old Jade is from Mesa, Arizona. According to Chris, she’s smart, driven, and knows what she wants.
Jasmine, 25
Jasmine is Vietnamese, and according to Chris, she has a well, aggressive limo entrance. Let’s just leave it at that. From Houston, Texas, she has an amazing story, though.
Jenna, 22
A nursing student. From New Lenox, Illinois.
Katrina, 28
Katrina. Another Chicago native. BUT, look out for her intro. She apparently has the “best intro of the season.” We all know how Chris likes to be overdramatic in his use of “the most dramatic season” and “best intro” and “best fantasy suites.” Is she the new Demi? Tbh, the only award I care about on this show.
Kelley, 27
Attorneys are smart and have a good history on this show: Andi, Rachel...they all have been pretty successful in acquiring love. Kelley is no different, apparently. She goes above and beyond—actually, she met Peter at a hotel before the show and they supposedly think this could be destiny. Oh, and she’s from Chicago—another popular casting spot.
Kelsey, 28
“A professional clothier.” Please, someone tell me what that is. From Iowa, she apparently coins the term, “crying is cool.” Oh, and something about #Champagnegate. K. Give Ashley I. a run for her money.
Kiarra, 23
A nanny from Georgia. 23-year-old Kiarra is nicknamed “Kiki” and already everyone’s favorite (even Peter’s). Could be the next Bachelorette, perhaps?
Kylie, 26
She’s really bold and uses a windmill reference. I feel like she could be the villain. From Santa Monica, she is an entertainment sales associate.
Lauren, 26
Self-made woman, marketing executive from Glendale, California, she already “intimidates women in the mansion. She’s the envy of the house.
Lexi, 26
She did a “cool” limo entrance and impressed Peter on night one. Marketing coordinator from New York. A redhead.
Madison, 23
No more Roll Tides! Madison, 23 years old, has a “heart of gold” and a huge Auburn fan. SPOILER ALERT for your Bachelor brackets: she has the first one-on-one date.
Maurissa, 23
A pageant queen from Georgia. She struggled with body image growing up and had a huge life change with how she views her body. Which is a pretty cool and incredible story to share, if you ask me. I don’t know if she’s gonna win, but she’s a pageant queen and we all know how far they go…
Megan, 26
Another flight attendant, from San Francisco. Cue the plane jokes.
Mykenna, 22
“Ability to dance with a glass of wine and not let a single drop fall.” This, I can get behind. She’ll be my favorite, partly because she’s one of my favorite bloggers to follow on Instagram, but also because of the wine glass. We’ll see how the rest of the girls and Peter adapt to her and her “expressive” emotions.
Natasha, 31
Apparently 31-year-old Natasha coins the phrase “cats and rats” so you know I’ll be looking out for that. She “never holds back from using her wit and sharp tongue” so you know she’ll be good. She was even recommended by a TV producer, and you know who else was?! Peter!
Payton, 23
She makes a presence, aka when she walks into the bar, she makes 100 new friends. Good for her, because this is exactly the place where she needs to be—in a mansion with 29 other women. From Wellesley, Massachusetts.
Sarah, 24
Apparently, she might be one of Peter’s favorite. Hold onto your Bachelor brackets! She’s the “best cook in the house,” but I make my famous mac and cheese, so does that make me a good cook? Okay, it’s only famous to me, but still. From Knoxville, Tennessee.
Savannah, 27
Could be the first kiss of the show (according to Chris), but danced and cheered professionally, so that could impress Peter. A realtor from Houston, Texas.
Shiann, 27
Apparently, Shian is both a fan favorite and a crew favorite. But is she Peter’s favorite? We will find out. I mean, she has to be there for a while to be a crew favorite, right? An administrative assistant from Las Vegas.
Sydney, 24
Birmingham, Alabama?! Sydney went to the same high school as Hannah Brown, the real queen. Quiet, shy, reserved...but says anything that comes to mind. Is SHE the new Demi? However, a certain Bachelor (Peter or someone else?) said that she might be one of the best kissers of the group?!
Tammy, 24
A house flipper from Syracuse, she’s a badass. She works six jobs, comes from an immigrant family, and wrestled in high school. Whoa. I can’t wait to hear the rest of her story.
Victoria F., 25
The 25-year-old from Virginia Beach. Apparently, she’s the most “everything.” Everything that could happen in life happens to Victoria F. on this show. Basically...I really don’t know what could happen. Like, it’s the most dramatic season of The Bachelor, right?
Victoria P., 27
FINALLY, the last. Victoria P. is a nurse from Louisiana. She’s emotional. She’s quick to use the “L” word. Her story is good, though. She had to raise her siblings after her dad died, and her mom was in recovery.
And that’s the 30 women of this season of The Bachelor! Make sure to tune in Monday, January 6. Or don’t, it’s really up to you. Tbh, you don’t have to. This season is going to be boring. I’m only watching because it’s going to be cringe-worthy, I have nothing else to do, and this excites my Monday night. And hey, I’ll post recaps of the episodes every Tuesday morning, sometimes Tuesday night!
Thank you, and good night.
