The Bachelor star Chris Soules will have a literally unprecedented number of women competing for him when the hit ABC show returns January 5.
As revealed today, the 33-year-old Iowa farmer will meet 30 potential soul mates – three more than had the displeasure of meeting Juan Pablo Galavis!
Among the new hopefuls are a “WWE diva-in-training” from Florida, a plus-size model and a waitress from Hollywood (totes there for the right reasons).
There’s also a cruise ship singer, a former NFL cheerleader and a cadaver tissue saleswoman (for reals) with “a heartfelt surprise in a medical cooler.”
That’s a way to make a first impression he’ll remember, for better or worse.
For eight of these 30 women, the first rose ceremony will also be their last.
Only 22 will survive to battle for Chris Soules‘ dates, heart and … well, soul.
It’ll be a wild ride this season, ABC claims, promising “one of the most dramatic twists in Bachelor history.” Or at least since every other season.
You don’t need The Bachelor spoilers to tell you that there’s always one of those. Just saying. Anyway, read the list of ladies and “titles” after the jump!
