Yahoo Lifestyle The Bachelor: Get to Know the 25 Women Vying for Grant’s Heart
It’s time once again for one of our favorite annual traditions: looking at photos of all the new Bachelor contestants and pre-judging them based on a few brief factoids.
ABC has announced the names of the 25 women who will be competing to win the heart of The Bachelorette alum Grant this season on The Bachelor, along with some intriguing biographical details about each woman. Grant, you’ll remember, was one of Jenn’s suitors last season on The Bachelorette… and judging by how things worked out with Devin, she’d have been better off choosing him instead.

But Jenn’s loss is these women’s gain, and now it’s Grant’s turn to hand out the roses, with his season premiering Wednesday, Jan. 27 at 8/7c on ABC. (Grant was first revealed as the new star of The Bachelor in August; get a sneak peek at his season here.)
ABC has released a video as well that shows all the ladies dancing around, which you can watch above. Read on to get to know Grant’s contestants, including some fun facts about each of them, and then hit the comments below and share those snap pre-judgments with us. Who’s your early pick to take home the final rose?
Alexe
Age: 27
Hometown: New Brunswick, Canada
Occupation: Pediatric speech therapist
Fun fact: She’s fluent in French, so maybe that’ll lead to a little “ooh la la” with Grant.
Alli Jo
Age: 30
Hometown: Manalapan, New Jersey
Occupation: Boxing trainer
Fun fact: “You will never see Alli Jo leave the house without lipstick on.” Not even in the boxing ring?!
Allyshia
Age: 29
Hometown: Tampa, Florida
Occupation: Interior designer
Fun fact: She’s the longest-reigning Miss California. So what’s she doing in Florida, huh?
Bailey
Age: 27
Hometown: Atlanta
Occupation: Social media manager
Fun fact: She “dreams of seeing a polar bear IRL,” so she may be the first Bachelor contestant in history hoping for a fantasy suite date in Antarctica.
Beverly
Age: 30
Hometown: Howard Beach, New York
Occupation: Insurance salesperson
Fun fact: Her closet is color coordinated… and sorry, Grant, there’s no room for your clothes in there.
Carolina
Age: 28
Hometown: Guaynabo, Puerto Rico
Occupation: Public relations producer
Fun fact: She “describes her vibe as ‘cool grandma.’” Wow, she’s a grandma at 28? That’s wild.
Chloie
Age: 27
Hometown: New York
Occupation: Model
Fun fact: She still sleeps with her baby blanket. Let’s hope nobody throws wine on it in a fit of rage.
Christina
Age: 26
Hometown: Fargo, North Dakota
Occupation: Marketing director
Fun fact: We’re just hung up on the fact that she’s from Fargo and she kinda looks like Kirsten Dunst. Peggy Blumquist, is that you?
Dina
Age: 31
Hometown: Chicago
Occupation: Attorney
Fun fact: She’s one of 11 siblings, which means she’s used to bunk beds, so she’ll fit right in at the Bachelor mansion.
Ella
Age: 25
Hometown: Los Angeles
Occupation: Luxury travel host
Fun fact: As a kid, her favorite look was a shirt with Justin Bieber’s face on it. But now that she’s all grown up, her favorite look is a dress with Justin Bieber’s face on it.
J’Nae
Age: 28
Hometown: Colorado Springs, Colorado
Occupation: Account coordinator
Fun fact: She used to play pro basketball overseas, just like Grant — so maybe they can play some one-on-one together. (Wink wink, nudge nudge.)
Juliana
Age: 28
Hometown: Newtown, Massachusetts
Occupation: Client service associate
Fun fact: She has no interest in jumping off something high. We can hear the Bachelor producers arranging her bungee jump date as we speak.
Kelsey
Age: 26
Hometown: Brooklyn
Occupation: Interior designer
Fun fact: She “wants to study ’empire building’ under Kris Jenner.” Why isn’t that a reality show already, ABC?
Kyleigh
Age: 26
Hometown: Wilmington, North Carolina
Occupation: Retail manager
Fun fact: Her favorite movie is Pearl Harbor. No spoilers, Kyleigh, we haven’t seen it yet.
Litia
Age: 31
Hometown: Salt Lake City
Occupation: Venture capitalist
Fun fact: She “is a huge fan of the board game Clue, even though she feels that playing it is not her strongest suit.” So she likes watching other people playing it? She’s an avid Clue spectator? We have a lot of questions for Litia.
Natalie
Age: 25
Hometown: Louisville, Kentucky
Occupation: Ph.D student
Fun fact: She’s not a breakfast person — so don’t wake her up for any pancake dates, OK?
Neicey
Age: 32
Hometown: Blythewood, South Carolina
Occupation: Pediatrician
Fun fact: She “has always wanted to be a spy.” Neicey, Neicey, Neicey… the last thing a spy should do is announce they want to be a spy. That’s, like, Spy 101.
Parisa
Age: 29
Hometown: Birmingham, Michigan
Occupation: Pediatric behavior analyst
Fun fact: Um, she has a rock collection? Is that a fun fact? Well, it’s a fact, at least.
Radhika
Age: 28
Hometown: New York
Occupation: Attorney
Fun fact: Kissing someone in the rain is on her bucket list, so fire up that rain machine, Bachelor producers.
Rebekah
Age: 31
Hometown: Dallas
Occupation: ICU nurse
Fun fact: She “has never met an animal she didn’t like,” so she might actually be Snow White. Disney synergy!
Rose
Age: 27
Hometown: Chicago
Occupation: Registered nurse
Fun fact: Her name is Rose, and she’s looking to get a rose, get it? We sense an avalanche of rose-oriented puns coming from Jesse Palmer this season.
Sarafiena
Age: 29
Hometown: New York
Occupation: Associate media director
Fun fact: She’s seen every episode of Grey’s Anatomy at least three times. ABC, give this girl a cameo as a patient and make her dreams come true.
Savannah
Age: 27
Hometown: Charlottesville, Virginia
Occupation: Wedding planner
Fun fact: She’s “done being the wedding planner and is ready to be the bride.” We hate to spoil her dream, but… does she know how rare it is for one of these couples to actually get married?
Vicky
Age: 28
Hometown: Las Vegas
Occupation: Nightclub server
Fun fact: She “takes prides in her calves of steel.” Gee, we must’ve missed that VHS exercise tape.
Zoe
Age: 27
Hometown: New York

Fun fact: She graduated from Duke University with a degree in mechanical engineering, and she “loves cooking fancy dinners for her partner when she’s in love.” Congratulations, Zoe, you win this season’s “You’re Way Too Good for This Show” award!
