It's the most joyous time of the year, everyone! Oh, I'm not talking about the holidays. I'm referring to the fact that The Bachelor kicks off on Jan. 6 and we now have intel on the 30 women hoping to steal Peter Weber's heart. These ladies have come from near (Los Angeles) and far (Canada!) to meet the handsome pilot. We don't know much about them, but I do have some snap judgments. Until we get more details, here are my first impressions of the cast. (And though she does appear in the trailer, I'm not including Hannah Brown because it's unlikely that she's a full-on contestant this season.)
First impression: A jean belt on a pair of jeans is absolutely genius. Points for being a master of denim. At this point, if Alayah B. is not wearing a denim evening gown when she exits the limo, I'm going to be disappointed.
First impression: This photo looks like it was taken after 25 minutes of the photographer telling Courtney P. to move her arms/waist/shoulders/smile, "just a skosh."
First impression: I'm getting a real strong Maria Menounos-meets-Sarah Hyland vibe from Hannah Ann S. I'm also almost positive I bought that dress at Limited Too in 2002. It did not look as good on me, TBH.
First impression: I can practically see Katrina B. sitting by the fireplace with her champagne not engageing in the drama because she's here for the right reasons, thank you very much.
First impression: Kelsey W. is going to a fun backyard BBQ later. She made keto apps for everyone. (Try them! You won't even notice they're keto — she promises.)
First impression: This is just the beginning of Mykenna D.'s long career in reality TV culminating in a televised wedding to Bachelorette alum (and fellow Canadian) Daniel Maguire.
First impression: Dress is on point, nails are on point, minimal jewellery, winning smile — Sydney H. has studied Bachelor portraits for years and got the combination just right.
