'The Bachelor': Meet Joey's 32 potential wives

Two realtors, three "account executives," a radiochemist, and a pair of sisters (!) — these are just some of the women who will be competing to "win" an engagement in the upcoming 28th season of The Bachelor. Joey Graziadei, the 28-year-old tennis pro from Pennsylvania, will surely be spoiled for choice when it comes to his future spouse. Meet the 32 women who will vie for his final rose when The Bachelor premieres on Monday, January 22 at 8 p.m. on ABC.

Bachelor Women — Disney/Richard Middlesworth

Hometown: Philadelphia, PA
Occupation: Realtor/Lauren’s sister
Fun fact: “Allison will be looking for love alongside her older sister and best friend, Lauren. The two have dated the same guy before (at different times), so let’s hope that experience prepared them for The Bachelor.” Man, that parenthetical is doing a lot of work here. Good luck, sis!

02 of 32

Autumn, 26

Hometown: St. Louis, MO
Occupation: Account executive
Fun fact: “Autumn spontaneously got a lip tattoo at a music festival.” I hope she spontaneously got a tetanus shot soon after.

03 of 32

Chandler, 24

Hometown: New York, NY
Occupation: Graphic designer
Fun fact: “Chandler is seriously afraid of lightning.” Cut to: “Today’s group date will be holding on to this metal pole during a storm. The last woman standing gets 3 minutes alone with Joey.”

04 of 32

Chrissa, 26

Hometown: Abbotsford, British Columbia
Occupation: Marketing Director
Fun fact: “The Canadian beauty has been engaged before, so she knows she’s ready for marriage. She’s just waiting to meet a man with no red flags.” Girl, did you really think you’d find him on a reality TV show? Smdh.

05 of 32

Daisy, 25

Hometown: Becker, MN

06 of 32

Edwina, 25

Fun fact: “Edwina really wants to learn how to play tennis.” Uh-oh, is she just going to use Joey for his racquet skills?

07 of 32

Erika, 25

Hometown: North Bergen, NJ
Occupation: Leasing agent
Fun fact: “In her free time, Erika loves reading and dreams of writing her own bestseller one day.” Oh, snap, Daisy! You’ve got some literary competition. Get these women on a two-on-one date, STAT.

08 of 32

Evalin, 29

Hometown: San Antonio, TX

09 of 32

Jenn, 25

Fun fact: “Jenn knows that aliens are real.” Please, please, PLEASE let her lead with that right out of the limo.

10 of 32

Jess, 24

Hometown: San Diego, CA
Occupation: Executive assistant
Fun fact: “Jess read her first book for fun last summer.” Nope. Absolutely not. Joey may not be the brightest bulb on the tree, but the man deserves someone who understands that reading isn't punishment. Next!

11 of 32

Katelyn, 25

Hometown: Santa Fe, NM
Occupation: Radiochemist
Fun fact: “Katelyn loves heights. The higher the better!” Oh, smart girl! I bet she secretly HATES heights and just put this in her bio so producers wouldn’t stick her with the bungee-jumping date.

12 of 32

Kayla, 27

Hometown: Hamilton, OH
Occupation: Guidance counselor
Fun fact: “When she isn’t working, Kayla loves reading Harry Potter.” Would you mind loaning a copy to Jess? Someone needs to teach her that reading is fundamental.

13 of 32

Kelsey A., 25

Hometown: New Orleans, LA
Occupation: Junior project manager
Fun fact: “Kelsey A. often wonders how the world would be different if social media didn’t exist.” Girl, just ask an old. We’re right here, ready to regale you with tales of dial-up modems and AOL Instant Messenger.

14 of 32

Kelsey T., 31

Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
Occupation: Actor
Fun fact: “Kelsey T. likes when wild lizards crawl into her hands.” This is such an oddly specific tidbit of information for a bachelorette bio, I can’t help but respect it.

15 of 32

Kyra, 26

Hometown: Miami, FL
Occupation: Paralegal
Fun fact: “Kyra’s go-to dance move is the classic ‘sway side-to-side.’” This will come in handy should she and Joey enjoy an awkward, “private” concert during a one-on-one date.

16 of 32

Lanie, 27

Hometown: Philadelphia, PA
Occupation: Realtor
Fun fact: “Lanie doesn’t mess with sharks under any circumstances.” Cue the cage-diving date!

17 of 32

Lauren, 28

Fun fact: This is the young woman who met Joey — and received some kind of mystery card from Jesse Palmer — on Charity’s After the Final Rose special.

19 of 32

Lexi, 30

Hometown: Atlanta, GA
Occupation: Digital strategist
Fun fact: Lexi “graduated in the top 1% of her MBA summer program at MIT” and she also “cannot live without her self-tanning mousse.” In other words, Lexi contains multitudes.

20 of 32

Madina, 31

Hometown: Charlotte, NC
Occupation: Mental health therapist
Fun fact: “Madina has never been camping and doesn’t see that changing.” Very relatable.

21 of 32

Maria, 29

Hometown: Kleinburg, Ontario
Occupation: Executive assistant
Fun fact: “A psychic reading recently left her thinking that Joey could be her future husband.” I would make fun of her for this, but Maria also has “a black belt in Taekwondo karate,” so let’s just move on.

22 of 32

Marlena, 26

Hometown: West Palm Beach, FL
Occupation: Finance writer
Fun fact: “Marlena loves to read books by candlelight.” Not great for her eyes, but hey — at least she reads, unlike some of these women. (*cough* Jess *cough*)

23 of 32

Nat, 26

Hometown: Sudbury, Canada
Occupation: Registered nurse/Professor
Fun fact: “One thing about Nat is that she REALLY values her beauty sleep and tries to get at least 12 hours a night.” This woman is my new idol. #SlumberGoals

24 of 32

Rachel, 26

Hometown: Honolulu, Hawaii
Occupation: ICU nurse
Fun fact: “Rachel is terrified of frogs.” Okay, but how does she feel about lizards crawling into her hands?

25 of 32

Sam, 31

Hometown: Nashville, TN
Occupation: CPA
Fun fact: “Sam loves to dine European-style and have dinner at 10 p.m.” Well, if she gets a one-on-one date that could happen — though she won’t be allowed to eat the food, of course.

26 of 32

Samantha, 25

Hometown: Miami, FL
Occupation: Pro football cheerleader
Fun fact: “Before she became a professional cheerleader, Samantha was a decorated pageant queen and a princess at Disney World.” That tracks. (She had to be Jasmine, right?)

27 of 32

Sandra, 26

Hometown: Nashville, TN
Occupation: Cybersecurity consultant
Fun fact: “Sandra loves going on hot girl walks with her girlfriends.” Are those, like, normal walks only… hotter?

28 of 32

Starr, 25

Hometown: Delray Beach, FL
Occupation: Mental health counselor
Fun fact: “Starr does a great Britney Spears impression.” If she doesn’t come out of the limo with an albino python around her neck singing “Slave 4 U,” then the producers have failed.

29 of 32

Sydney, 28

Hometown: Newport, RI
Occupation: Vintage store owner
Fun fact: “Sydney’s cats know how to play fetch and [can] sit on command.” Well, if this “getting married” thing doesn’t work out, Sydney could definitely have a successful career as a cat lady.

30 of 32

Talyah, 23

Hometown: Huntington Beach, CA
Occupation: Esthetician
Fun fact: “On the weekends, Talyah enjoys watching Gossip Girl all cuddled up with her chihuahua, Lil Mama, whom she loves more than anything.” Get excited, Joey — this could be your future!

31 of 32

Taylor, 23

Hometown: Chicago, IL
Occupation: Recruiter
Fun fact: “If Taylor could be anyone for a day, she says she would be Joey’s fiancée.” Well honey, if you’re lucky, you might get to be his fiancée for up to six whole months.

32 of 32

Zoe, 24

Hometown: Atlanta, GA
Occupation: Artist
Fun fact: “Zoe loves reading Architectural Digest.” When you’re done, pass it along to Jess!
