The Bachelor Season 26: Early Front-Runners/Top Contenders

#1: Eliza, 25

Hometown: Berlin, Germany

Occupation: Marketing Manager

So far, so good with this one here. Eliza’s cast bio states that due to her going back and forth to Berlin for her dad’s job when she was a child, that she is pretty well-traveled. That’s so fun! People who are well-traveled always seem to have more of an appreciation for different cultures and don’t mind veering off the path of their own given culture of nature.

Eliza also is looking for her relationship to emulate her parents. They’ve been married for 25 years! Overall, she is very soft-spoken and ready for all of her adventures ahead with Clayton!

#2: Lindsay D., 27 

Hometown: Jacksonville, Florida

Occupation: Neonatal Nurse

First of all, OMG she is a Neonatal Nurse, and for that, she deserves all of the praise in the world, am I right?! There’s also something that Lindsay deserves all the praise in the world for–she’s a mom! She’s got a little girl, and for that, balancing being the best mom possible and her love life, I have nothing but appreciation and admiration for her.

Lindsay also loves Taco Bell (girl, same), and for that, she’s automatically my new best friend and cast favorite this year! Let’s see if Clayton is ready for her newly-opened heart at large!

#3: Salley, 26

Hometown: Charlottesville, Virginia

Occupation: Previously Engaged (?!)

*Minor Spoiler Alert Ahead–Beware!*

Unfortunately, Salley doesn’t make it past the first thirty minutes of the premiere episode; however, she does have a really cool conversation with Clayton, so stay tuned for the episode!

Anyways…Salley just seems so dang sweet. She seems like the type of girl who would have a mousey, yet non-annoying voice and just to be ready for love. But will her heart be open enough, after being previously engaged, not too long before coming onto the show, in order to ‘date’ Clayton?

According to her cast bio, she’s nothing but ready to open up her heart and also make her man feel nothing but supported and appreciated. Possibly ready Clayton?!

The Bachelor's Teddi

#4: Teddi, 24

Hometown: Highland, California

Occupation: Surgical Unit Nurse

First of all, here’s your resident, we-need-one-every-season virgin. *Cue the eye roll–why do they always feel the need to have one every season?!*

Anyways…Teddi is nothing but a hopeless romantic who grew up in a Christian household, never ready to settle just to do it. Teddi is super ready to share her heart with the right guy–hopefully Clayton, for her sake. Teddi also states that she isn’t afraid to ask any and all of those hard-hitting questions…on the first date. Practice up, Clayton! Be ready!
