6. Elizabeth Sandoz: 29, Las Vegas, NV. Kind of a world traveler as you can read in her blog. Originally from Nebraska (hence how she knows Jade), but now lives in Vegas.

She was Jade’s maid of honor at her wedding earlier this year that was televised. Well as we remember, Nick was at that wedding as well. Nick and Elizabeth had sex the night of the wedding. Then basically never spoke again. That is until Elizabeth showed up as a contestant on night one. Wait, I thought Nick was the kind, sensitive one that only saved sex for that “special” person? Bahahahahahahahahahaha. Please. Might be the most laughable thing this guy has ever said on TV. I’m not really sure what Elizabeth’s motivation was in all this other than the obvious for every contestant. But after a one night stand, do you really want to go on a nationally televised show to see the guy again for the first time since the hook up? Just seems a little odd to me, but whatever. Anyway, Elizabeth does bring up the fact she’d “met” Nick before the show to one of the other girls, who then goes and mentions it to Nick. Nick and Elizabeth end up talking during the second group date in episode 2, and Nick ends up sending her home during the group date. Gee, that certainly worked out well for her. If it wasn’t embarrassing enough he ghosted her after sex, then to essentially get dumped again, this time on TV, probably made things worse. Oh well. Her decision to go on the show. I’m sure with a lot of producer prodding, but still, the decision is ultimately hers and I can’t for the life of me figure out why she thought that’d be a good idea.

11. Danielle Maltby: 31, originally from Colgate, WI, but now lives in Nashville, TN. Former nurse, went to Viterbo University in La Crosse, WI and is now working as a model. Has a tragic back story as her fiance died 5 years ago of a drug overdose. Can almost guarantee that’ll get brought up this season. If it already hasn’t since she had the first 1-on-1 of the season in Newport Beach. There are tons of modeling pictures of her on Google, on AMAX models, and on her Facebook modeling page

12. Danielle Lo (Lombard): 27, Danville, CA. She got the serenade from the Backstreet Boys, then got the Chris Lane 1-on-1 in Wisconsin. There’s PLENTY of her to see on the internet. Safe to say she’s the girl this season who is on strictly to promote her career. She sells ice cream, she’s a HIN girl, she’s also a CHIVE girl, she models bikini’s, lingerie, and gets hired for club promotions. Good on you, Danielle. This show will definitely increase your visibility.

She was Miss HIN 2016, that’s Hot Import Nights. She’s very proud of that:
Here you can see her writhing around half naked for some photo shoot:
Was also on an online show called “Roll Models,” which covered the lives of import models and go go dancers in Orange County. Oh boy…If you have the stomach to sit through that hot mess, you are a better person than I.

I’m not saying Nick gave Rachel the first impression because she’s black at all. I’m just saying I think it played a role based on everything I heard coming into this season. This has nothing to do with Rachel. Very attractive woman. All she did was agree to come on the show. I’m sure Nick is into Rachel. Without a doubt. I’m also sure that Nick is very interested in “producing” good TV this season as well. Remember, Nick is about Nick. Will be interesting to see how far Rachel gets.

I tweeted out that there’s a girl this season with kind of a big name in the franchise. Does the name Brittany Farrar ring a bell to you? It should. She was Jordan Rodgers’ ex who went scorched earth on him last season for his lying about their relationship. Well, Brittany Farrar is on this season – just not THAT Brittany Farrar. But damn that would’ve been funny. Here’s the Brittany Farrar on this season, spelled the exact same way. Talk about a coincidence:
15. Brittany Farrar: 27, originally from St. Louis, MO but I believe is currently living in LA. Graduated from the University of Missouri – St. Louis. She’s a traveling registered nurse.

Appeared on YouTube GameLoft podcasts 5 years ago, which are below.
