The Bachelor Season 25: Early front-runners/Top contenders (Part two)
#5: Illeana, 25
Hometown: New York City
Profession: Health Food Developer
Illeana already seems like a front-runner because, first of all, she’s got this really cool company called ‘Funky Monkey Energy’, and it already sounds like something I’d wanna try to be honest. She’s also a hard-working entrepreneur who’s ready to settle down and finally find the missing puzzle piece to her heart. Awwwww!
#6: Kaili, 26
Hometown: Chicago, Illinois
Profession: Hostess
Kaili already seems like a front-runner because she’s one of those ladies, who, while she doesn’t take life too seriously, she certainly does take love very seriously, that’s for dang sure! She’s not afraid to laugh at herself, and hopes that her future husband (maybe Matt) will be the same way about himself too! She’s also hoping that Matt will be the first guy her family is actually happy about meeting!
#7: Katie, 29
Hometown: Renton, Washington
Profession: Bank Marketing Manager
Katie already seems like a front-runner because she’s super serious about this project being done and sick and tired of wasting her time on boys who don’t live up to her expectations (ouch)! She’s also looking for a man who won’t take it too seriously if the moment is deserving of her laughing at him! How funny!
#8: Pieper, 23
Hometown: Happy Valley, Oregon
Profession: Graduate Student
Pieper already seems like a front-runner because, first of all, she’s got such a cute smile. In addition to that, she likes that whole balance of spending time with her significant other, as well as having time for herself and her friends/family alike as well! She’s also got quite a dynamic personality too!
