MEET THE BACHELOR CONTESTANTS!
THEY’RE AFTER THEY’RE AFTER THE ROSE! HERE ARE THE 30 WOMEN HOPING TO WIN 28-YEAR-OLD AIRLINE PILOT AIRLINE PILOT PETER WEBER’S HEART ON THE ABC REALITY SHOW, BACK ON JAN. 6.
THE GOOD GIRL
A foster-parent recruiter from Auburn, Ala., Madison Prewett is the least likely to get busy in the Fantasy Suite. “I would say without a doubt that nothing would happen,” a friend says of the deeply religious 23-yearold. “She knows who she is and she finds her identity in Christ.” Bachelor Peter might have better luck on the basketball court: Fun-loving Madi helped lead her high school team to four state championships!
THE MODEL
She’s already used to the spotlight! Hannah Ann Sluss, 23, one of two contestants from Knoxville, Tenn., is a model who’s appeared in ads for Sonic and on the label of Downy Odor Protect fabric conditioner! Host Chris Harrison, who called Hannah Ann “naive” about the inner workings of The Bachelor, hinted that the 23-year-old saw some drama this season: “She ended up in the middle of absolutely everything.”
THE STYLIST
There for the right reasons: Courtney Perry is so serious about finding a mate that she also auditioned for MTV’s Are You the One? But don’t think the 26-year-old cosmetologist from Venice, Fla., is just interested in being on TV. A friend says of the “fun and funny” Courtney, “It was the potential of finding a great guy more than anything.” And Peter might be the perfect match, says the pal: “He’s cute and seems sweet and nice!”
THE BIKINI BOD
A friend says Jasmine Nguyen “doesn’t have a bad bone in her body.” What the 25-year-old does have is muscle! She’s been doing bikini fitness competitions for years. “She’s very sporty and athletic,” says the pal. A client relations manager from Houston, who’s proud of her Vietnamese heritage, Jasmine is also “very family oriented,” her friend dishes. “She’s so mature and ready to settle down with somebody.”
THE FAN
Miss Texas 2019, Alayah Benavidez got involved in pageants because she was bullied. “Girls were just mean,” says a friend. “It was about her looks or her laugh… She did pageantry to gain confidence, and it totally worked.” Now the superfan’s ready to take on The Bachelor. “She loves the show and watches religiously,” shares the pal. “She’s [said things] like, ‘I’d love to be on that show one day, oh, my God, that would be so cool!’”
THE CLASSMATE
Go team! Former cheerleader Sydney Hightower graduated from high school with Bachelorette Hannah Brown! “I don’t think she reached out to Hannah before going on the show,” a mutual friend says of the retail manager from Birmingham, Ala. “But if Hannah gave her any advice, it would be to be yourself and not get involved in all the drama.” As for the 24-year-old dating ex Peter, the pal says, “Hannah would be supportive.”
