The Bachelor: Our Candid First Impressions of Peter's 30 Lovely Ladies

ABC

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.)

Alayah B.

  • Hometown: San Antonio, TX
  • 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.

Alexa C.

  • Hometown: Chicago
  • First impression: I'm sure they airbrushed Alexa C.'s skin but dear lord it is PERFECTION. 10/10 would like to read about her skincare regimen.

Avonlea E.

  • Hometown: Fort Worth, TX
  • First impression: Hot pink is an aggressive choice for your Bachelor portrait, and I appreciate Avonlea E. going for it.

Courtney P.

  • Hometown: Venice, FL
  • 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."

Deandra K.

  • Hometown: Plano, TX
  • First impression: Deandra K. is anything but plain-o! (Ha, because she's from Plano . . . I'll see myself out.)

Eunice C.

  • Hometown: Chicago
  • First impression: Eunice C. wants to talk to you about an exciting opportunity that will allow you to make money from home.

Hannah Ann S.

  • Hometown: Knoxville, TN
  • 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.

Jade M.

  • Hometown: Mesa, AZ
  • First impression: Ohhh, Jade M. went with the hand-in-pocket pose. So casual.

Jasmine N.

  • Hometown: Houston, TX
  • First impression: Jasmine N. is actually a high-ranking executive who quit her job to come here. You better appreciate her, Peter.

Jenna S.

  • Hometown: New Lenox, IL
  • First impression: I am loving 👏 this 👏 confidence, Jenna S.!

Katrina B.

  • Hometown: Chicago
  • First impression: I can practically see Katrina B. sitting by the fireplace with her Champagne not engaging in the drama because she's here for the right reasons, thank you very much.

Kelley F.

  • Hometown: Chicago
  • First impression: Kelley F. does not look cutthroat enough to make it past Week Two. Sorry, Kelley.

Kelsey W.

  • Hometown: Des Moines, IA
  • 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.)

Kiarra N.

  • Hometown: Roswell, GA
  • First impression: Kiarra N. is so sick of telling everyone, "No, not that Roswell."

Kylie R.

  • Hometown: Los Angeles
  • First impression: Kylie R. is already excited about her trip to Bachelor in Paradise this Summer.

Lauren J.

  • Hometown: Los Angeles
  • First impression: Lauren J. can't wait to take Peter to all her fav sushi spots in Silver Lake.

Lexi B.

  • Hometown: NYC
  • First impression: Oh, Lexi B. Turn around now. This show is gonna hurt your feelings.

Madison P.

  • Hometown: Birmingham, AL
  • First impression: Madison B. got lash extensions JUST for this show, so you'd better bet she's making it to international travel week.

Maurissa G.

  • Hometown: Atlanta
  • First impression: Maurissa G. is honestly not sure how she got talked into this show.

Megan H.

  • Hometown: Daly City, CA
  • First impression: I see your airplane necklace and bohemian bracelets, Megan H. If your occupation isn't "Happy Wanderer," I'll be shocked.

Mykenna D.

  • Hometown: Langely, BC, Canada
  • 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.

Natasha P.

  • First impression: Natasha P. is ready to talk to Peter about why NYC is way better than Los Angeles.

Payton M.

  • Hometown: Wellesley, MA
  • First impression: HOLD THE PHONE. Payton is rocking a DOUBLE hand-in-pocket with two thumbs through her belt loops. Is this unprecedented?!

Sarah C.

  • Hometown: Knoxville, TN
  • First impression: Is Sarah C. not a 2020 version of season three Bachelorette Jen Schefft? Am I seeing things?

Savanah M.

  • Hometown: Houston, TX
  • First impression: More like Savanah "Sorry, can I steal him for a minute?" M., am I right?

Shiann L.

  • Hometown: Las Vegas
  • First impression: Not only is Shiann L. from Las Vegas, she has a musical note tattooed on her finger. She's definitely too cool for Peter.

Sydney H.

  • Hometown: Birmingham, AL
  • First impression: Dress is on point, nails are on point, minimal jewelry, winning smile — Sydney H. has studied Bachelor portraits for years and got the combination just right.

Tammy L.

  • Hometown: Syracuse, NY
  • First impression: Tammy is frankly pissed that she's missing all the beautiful Fall foliage in Syracuse to be in Los Angeles for filming.

Victoria F.

Victoria P.

  • Hometown: Alexandria, LA
  • First impression: Victoria P. is either the nicest woman you've ever met, or she's 100 percent here to steal your man. Hard to tell.
