Maurissa, 23, Patient Care Coordinator, Atlanta
Maurissa competed in Miss Teen USA pageants and was crowned Miss Teen Montana, but calls it "one of the worst times in her life." The pageant world made her feel inseucre about her weight and led her to struggle with body image issues, a rarity to even talk about on The Bachelor, so we applaud Maurissa. She has lost 80 pounds so far, apparently. Maurissa loves to break into song when she's feeling confident, and only recently went out of the country for the first time.
Sarah, 24, Medical Radiographer, Tennessee
Sarah dreams of leaving Tennessee, and she loves to cook, paddle board, read, listen to podcasts, and binge a TV show on a rainy day. She loves to vacation in Key West, Florida, loves electronic music, and hates slugs, which is good to know.
Kelley, 27, Attorney, Chicago
Kelley's an independent lady who's last series relationship was long-distance between Chicago and Jordan, but she couldn't see herself moving to the Middle East. She works in her dad's law firm, is allergic to gluten, dairy, and black tea, and gets very angry when people don't listen to her. She has been to 26 countries.
Kelsey, 28, Professional Clothier, Iowa
Kelsey is basically Shrek, because she's like an onion and has many layers. But she is not like Shrek in terms of the fact that she's a beauty queen, crowned Miss Iowa in 2017. She takes frequent Pilates classes so she's in peak physical and spiritual form. She likes chocolate as opposed to flowers, describes herself as feisty and stubborn, and her bio includes this sentence: "At 28, she has presumably lived more life than many of the other girls..." Help.
Victoria F, 25, Medical Sales Rep, Virgina
Victoria F. has always lived in Virginia Beach and works part-time at a yoga studio, while working super hard at her other job in medical sales. She needs a guy who will also love her dog, Buxton, and who will tell her he's into her verbally. She likes a guy who can cry in public, she loves country music, and she really loves her grandmother.
Courtney, 26, Cosmetologist, Florida
"Courtney is a Florida girl through and through," her bio says. She loves boating, tanning, and drinking, as well as a man in cowboy boots. She's also extremely claustrophobic, and nothing makes her happier than drinking a nice glass of wine while taking in a gorgeous view. Courtney is not particularly thrilling but at least she looks good in green.
