Season 22 of our favorite romantic reality TV show is back. Arie Luyendyk Jr. is back after five years and is ready for more… more women, that is. Last time we saw him, he was competing for the heart of Bachelorette Emily Maynard. Now he is ready to start his journey with 29 women to find love. We have selected 3 of our favorites that we think you should keep an eye on this season of The Bachelor. 

1. Chelsea

We feel like Chelsea is going to be the girl we love to hate. She is focused on all of the other girls and what they are doing to get Arie’s attention. Will she end up like Corinne and make more enemies than friends? Is she going to go off the handle and pull stunts that we have yet to see in Bachelor history? Her outgoing personality and her plan of attack with Arie leaves us wondering what will happen if and when she is crossed. 

2. Brittnay 

Things are already heating up when someone not named “the kissing bandit” steals the first kiss of the season. Brittnay puts herself out there with a wager for the first kiss. When their friendly game is over, both of them lean in for a kiss.  How is this going to go down with the other ladies? All we know is that if she can steal the first kiss, she is one to watch. 

3. Tia 

Well first off, she is from Weiner, Arkansas. As funny as that might sound, there is another reason why we like her. Do you know which other fan favorite lives in Arkansas? Raven! And would you know, they are friends? Well obviously if Tia is anything like Raven her corky and down to earth personality will keep her around for a while.  

To find out if these ladies make it to the next round, watch the premiere of The Bachelor on Monday, January 1st at 8 pm EST on ABC.
