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.
ABC

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.
