The Bachelor Season 25: The Too-Smart-And-B****y-To-Be-Here Girls: Part one

#1: Anna, 24

Hometown: Chicago, Illinois

Profession: Copywriter

First of all, her nickname given to her by her parents is ‘Hollywood’, and I’m sorry, but I just can’t trust that about her. Maybe her nickname makes sense, and she feels that she’s too good to be here. Who knows. Either way, I’m really not a super fan right off the bat, but all these ladies have the potential to change my mind at any given moment in time.

#2: Chelsea, 28

Hometown: Brooklyn, NY

Profession: Runway Model

I’m sorry. Much like the reality TV show Catfish, the whole ‘I’m a model’ ordeal just is never a good option, but maybe Chelsea isn’t like all the others. Only time will tell…

#3: Corrinne, 23

Hometown: Pomfret, Connecticut

Profession: Marketing Manager

No, No, No. Just no. To me, she looks like someone who, if you don’t like what she does, you’re out. She also looks like she has the potential to be on the reality TV show Botched. I don’t know what that means, but I don’t know that I’ll ever be on the Corrinne bandwagon. Sorry, not sorry, guys. She also looks way older than 23, so I’m not sure that I can trust her just yet. We’ll see…

#4: Kit, 21

Hometown: New York City

Profession: Socialite (Whatever That Means)

Two words as to why she’s on this list: emotional intelligence.
