Tis the season for roses!
ABC announced the cast for season 29 of The Bachelor on Tuesday, January 7, revealing the 25 women who will be competing for Grant Ellis’ heart. And as always, there’s plenty to unpack with the group headed to the Bachelor Mansion for a shot with the 31-year-old day trader who was eliminated during week 6 of Jenn Tran’s season of The Bachelorette last year.
To start, Alexe, a 27-year-old pediatric speech therapist from Canada, “doesn’t do karaoke” — which could be an issue since Grant “can be found cheering on the Lakers, hitting strikes at the bowling alley, or belting out tunes at karaoke,” according to his bio. (Feels like a karaoke date is a no-brainer — don’t let Us down, ABC!)
Allyshia, a 29-year-old interior designer, is “a pumpkin spice season queen” who “drove a Barbie-pink Vespa in college” while Chloie, a 27-year-old model, “still sleeps with her baby blanket” and has “#NoShame.” Lawyer Dina, 31, is one of 11 siblings and will likely have a story line about dancing since one of her fun facts is “when asked what her favorite style of dance is, she says ‘Dina Dancing.’ #IYKYK.”
J’Nae, 28, has “a rose tattoo on her right forearm,” Litia, 31, “loves a good personality test” (is that like a Cosmo quiz?) and Radhika, 28, “is a self-proclaimed Harry Potter nerd.” Meanwhile, both Kelsey, 26, and Neicey, 32, have Kardashian references in their fun facts. (Neicey “would love an invite to the annual Kardashian Christmas party” and Kelsey “wants to study ‘empire building’ under Kris Jenner.”)
Sarafiena, 29, “has seen every episode of Grey’s Anatomy at least three times” (same, girl) and Vicky, 28, “is not herself without lip liner.”
