We're Betting the Next Bachelorette Will Be 1 of These Women

Colton Underwood has been saying goodbye to women on The Bachelor left and right. Hey, a guy's got to do what a guy's got to do to find the one! After Colton (hopefully) proposes at the end of season 23, we'll be introduced to the newest leading lady on next season of The Bachelorette. We couldn't help ourselves, so we started speculating on who the next bachelorette will be.

While there are currently 15 ladies left in the competition, we've narrowed it down to the 10 most likely to become the next franchise star. You have to be charismatic, memorable, and — above all — getting a decent edit from the producers. So, if ABC is listening, please take our picks into consideration (especially number one).

Hannah Brown
ABC

Hannah Brown

OK, OK, maybe Hannah B. doesn't qualify for that whole "good edit" thing, but consider the following: Hannah received the first one-on-one date with Colton and has been at the forefront of drama this season, so she has already made herself memorable. As Miss Alabama 2018, we know that she has a pretty face, but we're worried that her feud with Caelynn is making her personality look less than favorable. We liked Hannah B. at the start, so we're hoping her relationship with Colton will become the main focus. And if not . . . maybe we'll catch her on Bachelor in Paradise.

Sydney Lotuaco
ABC

Sydney Lotuaco

Sydney has been lucky in her career, but not in her love life — who can relate? The 27-year-old was a professional dancer for the New York Knicks, and is a model and fitness instructor. It's going to take a strong guy to keep up with her! When Sydney isn't living her best life in New York City, she's probably hanging out at the beach or with her dog . . . or hitchhiking in China (OK, that was only one time . . .).

08
Nicole Lopez-Alvar
ABC

Nicole Lopez-Alvar

This Cuban girl from Miami is proud of her family roots! And we bet the combination of her salsa dancing and her grandma's cooking will win over whoever Nicole is after. She has two dogs, a cat, and a cockatoo (!), so there's never a dull moment at her house. The self-proclaimed "Caption Queen" is a digital journalist and claims to never get embarrassed. Nicole has a twin brother, AJ, who has autism spectrum disorder with an intellectual disability and seizure disorder. She describes him as her best friend and partner in crime, and they look total sibling goals. We'd love to see all her energy on The Bachelorette!

07
Caelynn Miller-Keyes
ABC

Caelynn Miller-Keyes

This real-life beauty queen couldn't be more sweet — and it's hard to believe she's in a feud with Hannah B. that stems back to before the show. Caelynn became Miss North Carolina 2018, and wears the title proudly. She likes football, traveling, and the beach, and just seems like a fun person to hang out with. There appears to be a lot of depth to Caelynn that we have yet to uncover. We know that she's outspoken about equal rights for women and experienced a childhood illness. If you ask us, this woman is the whole package!

06
Onyeka Ehie
ABC

Onyeka Ehie

Anyone looking for a stunning IT risk consultant from Kansas who moved to Dallas, TX? Onyeka's favorite pick-up line is, "you look so familiar," but she'll have a hard time getting away with that one if she becomes the next Bachelorette. She has incredible love role models in her life. Onyeka's parents got engaged after just two weeks and have been married for 35 years. So, not only do we know she'll take looking for love seriously, but she's probably not afraid of getting engaged after a matter of weeks.

05
Katie Morton
ABC

Katie Morton

We got to meet Katie, along with two other contestants, before The Bachelor premiered on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Even though she was the first to (literally) drop out of the game, she had great energy from the start. The lifelong dancer is a medical sales representative from California. She lives up to the West Coast vibe with her love of yoga, sushi, and the beach. If her and Colton don't have a forever kind of relationship, she's make an adorable Bachelorette.

04
Hannah Godwin
ABC

Hannah Godwin

She has blonde hair, blue eyes, and a charming Southern personality. Hannah looks so stinkin' cute next to Colton, but if the two don't work out, she'd make a stunning Bachelorette. Don't underestimate this model and influencer: she has her degree in business marketing and a photography business. Although her hometown is in Alabama, she's all for traveling. So we bet she would be pretty down for an adventure in a new state — if the love of her life was there.

03
Tayshia Adams
ABC

Tayshia Adams

If looks could kill, Tayshia's smile would've taken us out at the beginning. This California girl is all about traveling, adventures, and wine tasting. Maybe she's our new BFF? As a phlebotomist, which is someone who draws blood, we know that she has a good job and is a people person. Tayshia is very involved with her church and recently completed a mission trip in Africa. If there's one contestant who appears to have a heart of gold, it's her. Now you see why she made our top picks for the next Bachelorette.

02
Cassie Randolph
ABC

Cassie Randolph

Cassie could teach any man the true language of love — sign language. This California native is working on her graduate degree to become a licensed speech pathologist. Although her smooth move for teaching Colton how to sign "kiss" didn't result in an actual one, Cassie was seen as a frontrunner from the start. This cat mom to Maverick and Goose isn't afraid of adventure — she's been skydiving and surfs! So we bet it would be fun to see more of her on our screens. Sorry, Jimmy Kimmel, but if you're final rose pick is wrong, we want her as the next Bachelorette!

01
Elyse Dehlbom
ABC

Elyse Dehlbom

Introducing our number one pick for Bachelorette 2019: Elyse! She first won over Bachelor Nation on the first group date by sharing that she is 31 years old and Colton is the first younger guy she ever dated. Apparently, that age is part of the "cougar den," and makes Elyse one of the "older" ladies. But we see her age as a positive if she were to take on the leading role. This makeup artist from Arizona knows what she wants, carries herself well, and makes us want her to find love.

Elyse revealed to Colton that her sister passed away from cancer, and that experience shaped her into the person she is today. She loves her nephew and niece, and is all about family and friends.

Honestly, we just really like her as a person and kind of want to date her ourselves. Plus, she would be the first red-headed Bachelorette we've ever had and we could probably learn some makeup tricks from her along the way.
