When Does The Bachelor Come Back?

3:30 pm, December 10th | by Sarah Devlin

I know, silly question — the answer is obviously “not soon enough.” Luckily, at the end of last week ABC released the photos and brief bios of the 25 ladies who will be battling it out for the affection of Sean, the most boring man in the world and a castoff from bachelorette Emily Maynard’s season. The Bachelor season is a special time in the yearly TV schedule, consistent and reassuring as the spring, when feminists everywhere all take a moment to see just how far we haven’t come. It’s the best. So while we wait with bated breath (…just us?) until January 7th, here are a couple of the most memorable fun facts about this season’s ladies.

1.Amanda

"What was the most romantic present you have ever received and why?"

"I was offered a prada bag or the same amount of $$ donated to a charity that we would volunteer at (I went with the second)"

Ugh, bragging about charity work makes the value of that work decrease in inverse proportion to the amount you spend bragging about it. Sean will probably be into it though.

2.Diana

From Diana's bio: "If you could be someone else for just one day, who would it be and why?"

"Taylor Swift, because I can't sing and I would love to know what it feels like to be extremely talented."

*Small voice*...neither can Taylor? Also, she is perfect for this show — good odds that she gets the first date and goes nutso early.

3.Leslie

"If you could be someone else for just one day, who would it be and why?"

"This might sound weird but I think being a homeless person. To see how they truly live their life and the struggles they go through and how they got there. So one day, I can help change the number of homeless people that end up living on the streets."

It is hard to know that being a homeless person is not something you want to be without being homeless yourself. (??????)

4.Lindsay

"What's your worst date memory?"

"I got sent on a blind date with an old man!"

How old, and also don't talk about Santa that way this time of year.

5.Sarah

"Do you have any pets and if so, what kind?"

"I have a 2-yr. old French Bulldog named Leo, after lion - not Leonardo Dicaprio - although he's incredibly handsome. Leo's not just a pet, he's my son! He even comes to work with me everyday."

Having a pet you refer to as your son never bodes well. I learned this at the Vienna Girardi School Of Anger Management.

6.Ashley P.

"Do you consider yourself a romantic and why?"

"Yes! extremely I wear my <3 on my sleeve and tend to let my emotions rule over my head and romantic attention ."

I'm confused. Is she saying she's Leo DiCaprio?

7. Well, I'm pumped — are you? If you're super fired up and upset that there's still just under a month until the premiere, don't forget you can slake your thirst at the well of Ashley Hebert and JP Rosenbaum's wedding special this Sunday night. I've already unplugged my phone and canceled all of my plans.
