4. Kat Hurd: 29, Scottsdale, Arizona. She graduated from the University of Iowa in 2007 with a BS in Athletic Training and BA in Dance, then got her Masters in 2010 in Exercise Science. Currently in Medical Device sales for Boston Scientific. When doing research on her, I see that she’s currently listed in the team photo of the Phoenix Suns 2013-14 Dance Team that apparently was just named a couple weeks ago. Twitter account says she’s a Phoenix Suns dancer too. Not sure how she’s gonna do the show and be a dancer too since she leaves Saturday, and the season starts next month. But hey, at least we have this dance audition video to look at. Work it girl. Of the 5 I released today, Kat wins. She’s goin’ places on this show. However can I just say, I think I like her better as a brunette.

5. Alli Restko: 26, Chicago, Ill. Graduated from Miami OH University in 2009. Hey, that’s where James from Des’ season went. Small world. I’m guessing if that guy hasn’t already been in contact with her, he will once he finds out she’s on the show. That’s of course if they don’t already know each other.

She’s a piano music composer and owns her own concierge business that she originally started in LA. Has songs currently on Itunes, Amazon, and her YouTube Channel. She got engaged last year, but they never got married. They met on “Minute to Win It?” How romantic. Did crazy Guy Fieri show up at the engagement? AND they went on “Price is Right” and “Lets Make a Deal.” Awesome. She’s a game show whore. According to an old Facebook Fan Page it says she tried out for “America’s Got Talent” in 2010, and competed for Miss California 2012 while she still lived there. Sweet, looks like she did some sports reporting back in college too:

12. Lucy Aragon: Originally from Santa Barbara, California. Currently lives in LA. Model for Wilhelmina. Basically recruited to be on the show to, well, bring the crazy. And the nudity. I mean, when it clearly states in your Instagram profile “I like to be naked,” and you follow that up with numerous topless pics of yourself, then yeah. Was anyone supposed to take this girl seriously about being Juan Pablo’s wife? Of course not. She was brought on the show for entertainment, plain and simple. And she brought it. Has already been eliminated as of 10/2. How do I know this? Well, last Friday she gave it away on Twitter. Pretty obvious.
And not to mention her BFF Holly was so excited she was back, she joined in the party.

Lets take a moment to breath in the free spirit that is Lucy Aragon. I’m sure she will be the talk of the show for the first three episodes.
Probably my two favorite pics of hers. First one is very classy, no?
And this? I mean, she got to take a pic with Kate Upton. On two different occasions. What more can you say?

Two parts of this video that I love:
1) Telling us she was on the “Price is Right” a year ago and won a grand piano. First Lauren Solomon, now Alexis. Were these two on the same episode or something?
2) “Pour Some Sugar On Me” playing as the background music. The strip club anthem if I’ve ever heard one. “Coming to the stage right now, put your hands together for the hot and sexy, Laceeeeeeeeeeeeey…”

17. Lauren Higginson: 27, Edmond, Oklahoma. Land and Mineral Coordinator at WestEnergy, LLC. Had set a wedding date on Aug 31, 2013, but it was called off in the spring by her fiancé. So two weeks after the day she was supposed to be married, she’s on the “Bachelor?” Now that’s funny. Holy crap, you can see all 453 of their engagement pictures. Nice going Dayton! I’m sure that wasn’t a messy breakup at all or anything. Also she’s a bikini model for MetroShoeWarehouse in Oklahoma.

Oh hey, and here’s Elise back in the day getting quite cozy with the Situation. Pay no attention to the “Stephanie Pratt” stuff at the bottom of the pic. I guess some news outlets thought she looked like her. That’s Elise. Do with it what you want.

23. Victoria Lima: She lives in Florida somewhere. And also seems to love kittens and astrology based on her Twitter handle. What sucks is doing a google search of this name, and there’s pages and pages of pictures that pop up of Adriana Lima, the Victoria’s Secret model. So finding any of Victoria would be like trying to find a needle in the haystack. She’s not that important anyway. Just know that Victoria is the big drinker in the house and doesn’t last long on the show.
