Ben's Ladies on The Bachelor Are Announced

It's almost as exciting as Christmas morning - the ladies that Ben will date have finally been announced!  25 women will have the chance to go after Ben Flajnik on the next season of The Bachelor which starts Monday, January 2nd.  ABC posted their pictures and profiles today and here is some initial, quick analysis.

We've got several Canadians, more than several nurses, a British gal (my Scottish Work Friend will love that!) and a grandma.  That's right, I said grandma.  I'm sure she's just on there to grab everyone's attention, as she's been featured in all of the coming attractions for Ben's season.  My guess is that one of these girls is her granddaughter that she wants Ben to meet or she really did apply to be on Ben's season and the producers thought it would be funny to give her a shot.  In addition to Grandma, there's also the typical medical sales reps, some waitresses and one straight up "model."

Based on a quick review and nothing but pure looks, hometowns and the responses to some very generic questions, here are my predictions:

Courtney the Model
The Beauties Who Will Turn Heads (think Michelle Money, Emily Maynard, Chantal O):

1.  Courtney, 28, Scottsdale, Arizona.  She's a model.  She's not even pretending to be a "nanny" or "waitress."  She's full on saying she's hot and gets paid for it.

2.  Kacie, 24, from Tennessee.  I'm going to take a guess and say that Kacie is very "sweet," but not sure if there's much beyond her pretty smile.   She is a young Sandra Bullock all the way.

3.  Nicki, 26, Hurst, Texas.  Nicki's a flirtatious type. I can tell by her response on how to make a guy notice her.  She says to walk by him and talk to his friend, then make eye contact.  She's got game.

Emily the PhD
Down to Earth, Naturally Pretty Girls Who Will Become Favorites (hopefully of Ben's too) (think Shawntel and Ali Fedotowsky During Her Bachelorette Season):

1.  Elyse, 24, Chicago, IL.  Beautiful girl who is a personal trainer, so I'm sure she has a beautiful body. She's one of 6 kids, which means she was raised by an angel.

2. Emily, 27, Chapel Hill, NC.  This girl has brains and beauty.  She's a PhD student, and since she's from Chapel Hill, perhaps this means she's at UNC.  I liked her responses to the questions.  Great smile.  This could be our winner.

3.  Dianna, 30, San Gabriel, CA.  Our token Latina?  Dianna is adorable and like Ben, she's from California.  A nonprofit director and a lover of camping - she may be the earthy, fun chica that Ben needs in his life.

Shayne Lamas's twin?
Slightly Disturbing (I hope these are just bad photos):

1.  Anna, 25, Onatario, Canada.  Is this Shayne Lamas's younger sister?  Donald Trump and Anna get their hair done at the same place.  She could be a cute girl, but she's way too made up in these photos.

2.  Holly, 34, Salyersville, Kentucky.  Another pharmaceutical sales rep.  Hopefully it's a bad picture, but one eye may be bigger than the other.  Or maybe it's an unevenly applied mascara job.  Hard to tell.  Either way, she's very blonde.

3.  Lyndsie J, 29, London, UK.  Ok, I hate to pick on the solo Brit here, but I'm hoping this is just another bad picture.  Or perhaps her British accent will compensate??  She's got potential...

Celeb Look-Alikes:

Shawn - Julianne Hough & Lauren Alaina's daughter?
1.  Shawn, 28, Cincinnati, Ohio.  If Julianne Hough and Lauren Alaina had a baby, it would be Shawn.  She's a financial advisor and has beautiful eyes.  She could go far.

2.  Jenna, 27, Blogger from Loveland, Ohio.  Is this Pippa Middleton's cousin?

3. Erika, 23, Charlottesville, VA.  This may be the youngest contestant of the season.  But since she's a law student in Charlottesville, she most likely goes to the University of Virginia, one of the toughest law schools to get into.  Which means she's smart.  Which also hopefully means she is not related to Trishelle from the Las Vegas Real World season, although they do share a resemblance if you darken Trishelle's hair slightly.

Lots more to say, but let's leave it hear for now.  Do you have any early favorites??
