"The Bachelor" is beginning its nineteenth season this week. Nineteenth! For years women, including myself, have watched love blossom from the comfort of their living rooms. There is just something addicting about watching potential soulmates awkwardly do yoga together, and then rappel down the side of a building. (The producers never fail to come up with
Anyways, this season's bachelor is Ben Higgins. He is a 26-year-old software salesman who lives in Denver. He was left devastated after last year's Bachelorette, Kaitlyn Bristow, left him rose-less. However, he is determined to find the love of his life among the women this season. ABC recently released photos and bios on all of the bachelorettes for Ben. Here are my best and worst picks for Ben.
Best
Amanda, 25
She's an esthetician from California who likes country music and the beach. She has two daughters which will inevitably be a dramatic confession on a one-on-one date.
Jessica, 23
She's an accountant from Florida. Judging from her bio, she seems super smart, mature, and driven.
Lauren H., 25
She's a kindergarten teacher from Michigan. She seems cute and fun. Plus, her name is Lauren H. His is Ben H. It's meant to be.
Worst
Emily and Haley, 22
Their listed occupations are "being a twin". Coming from a twin, that's technically not an actual occupation. It will definitely be awkward when he sends one of them home and not the other. These two will be sure to add drama.
Tiara, 26
Her occupation is "chicken enthusiast." What does that even mean? I just don't see this working out.
