It’s hard to believe, but we’re already down to the final ten contestants on Season 22 of The Bachelor. Arie Luyendyk Jr. has some tough decisions ahead, so we’re helping him stay on track with this list ranking the remaining ladies from who’s most likely to go home next down to who we think has a chance of winning it all.
10. Jacqueline
Why is Jacqueline at the bottom of the pack? Mostly because we had no idea who she is. After a deep dive, we realized she’s the one who almost drank her own urine for Arie when they were in Tahoe. And as romantic of a gesture as that is, we’d likely have seen more of her by now if Arie was going to keep her around.
9. Jenna
Jenna always seems like she’s having a great time, or looks “permanently buzzed” as many Twitter users have described her. She is also coming off extremely relatable, with quotes like “I’m nervous, but nervous is always one of my top feelings.” Despite being the life of the party, we haven’t seen the 28-year-old social media manager spend enough quality time with Arie to trust that she’ll make it much further.
8. Krystal
As the villain of this season, Krystal had to stick around to give us our weekly dose of drama. After her bowling alley meltdown on the latest episode, however, Arie started to see the fitness coach’s true colors. Unsurprisingly, he also didn’t seem thrilled with being called a liar for changing his mind about the bowling prize. Many viewers are convinced that producers are prepping Krystal to be left on a beach during a future 2-on-1 date, but it’s likely that her days with Arie are numbered either way.
7. Kendall
As a collector of taxidermy who admitted she’d try human flesh, Kendall is the definition of quirky — or “corky,” as Arie pronounces it. Admitting she’d be willing to taste human meat if she was visiting a community of cannibals didn’t turn Arie completely off, but they don’t seem to connect on anything other than her unique hobbies. And laughter over dead stuffed rabbits can only last so long.
6. Becca K.
As the first to get a one-on-one date this season, Becca K. was showered with gifts from Rachel Zoe and seemed to have a great time with our resident bachelor. But with fewer opportunities for alone time as the season progressed, it’s hard to say if they still have the connection they started with.
5. Seinne
Seinne comes off as a smart, sophisticated woman, and quite frankly that’s exactly why we think she’s not a match for Arie. The 27-year-old is adored by fans online, but most insist that she’s too good for the former racecar driver. Arie may be interested in her for all the same reasons we are, but might soon realize he looks dull when standing next to her shine.
4. Bekah M.
Arie can’t keep his hands off Bekah M. and it’s easy to see why. Aside from her good looks, her charismatic personality lights up the screen in every scene. Even still, she’s only 22 and that’s a fact that Arie looked uncomfortable to learn. He insists he’s there to find a wife and worries that Bekah isn’t at that stage in her life. Will he be able to listen to his instincts or will his primal lust get the best of him?
3. Lauren B.
The last Lauren standing has a pretty great shot of winning Arie’s heart. He’s already claimed to be very physically attracted to her and previews for next week show them on a picture-perfect romantic boat ride in Paris. Although they’ve only shared a minimal amount of alone time so far, she may continue to rise to the top now that there are only ten girls left.
2. Chelsea
Everyone pegged Chelsea as the villain of the season after the premiere episode, but then Hurricane Krystal blew into town and freed her from the role. Since then, she’s shared her struggles as a single mom and seems to be touching Arie’s heart. But when Krystal leaves, will Chelsea return to villain status once more? Or has she already done enough to keep her place in Arie’s heart?
1. Tia
A quick scroll through the Bachelor-nation Twitter feed proves Tia is a bona fide fan favorite. She first popped up on our radars when she called Krystal out on her bs and her Southern charm has kept us hooked ever since. She also seems to be one of Arie’s favorites, even more so after their swamp boat date on the latest episode. Tia was the first of the season to admit that she’s falling in love with the bachelor and received a rose in return. With both fans and Arie all seeming to fall fast, is Tia the one to beat?
The Bachelor airs Monday nights on ABC.
