It’s that time again, Bachelor Nation!
With Arie Luyendyk Jr. back in the driver’s seat (see what we did there) after a five-year hiatus, the roses are about to be handed out.
And while Season 22 doesn’t premiere for six weeks, The Bachelor spoilers are already rolling in. Raise your hand if you’re surprised.
That’s right, per Reality Steve, the Internet’s preeminent Bachelor spoilers expert, the identities of Arie’s final four are already known!
As you’ve likely heard by now, The Bachelor has finally given its fan base the older, graying, refined gentleman they’ve been pining for.
Just kidding Arie, but it has been so long since his runner-up finish on Emily Maynard’s season (2012!) that his casting was a bit unexpected.
What’s 100 percent expected is that key details of Luyendyk’s “journey” have leaked early, as Steve has done it once more, with feeling.
Right now, Arie is filming his hometown dates, which means 2018’s leading man has narrowed it down to just four women out of 29.
And who are these lucky final four women?
1. Tia Booth (Arkansas). A 28-year-old physical therapist, she is best friends with none other than Raven Gates, a.k.a. last year’s runner-up.
Hey, it worked out pretty well for her.
Rumor has it that, not unlike Raven, there’s also drama with an ex back home. Here’s hoping Tia has experienced an orgasm before.
2. Lauren Burnham (Virginia Beach). Blonde Lauren B.’s have won The Bachelor before (Bushnell) so she’s got that going for her.
This Lauren B. works for Vonage in the sales department, yet went to medical school and has a B.A. in psychology, apparently.
She’s also 25 years old, so there’s that.
3. Becca Kufrin (Minnesota). Rebecca, who goes by Becca, is 27, and recently lost her dad while her mom recently battled breast cancer.
We can’t guarantee this will be the subject of a very emotional date with Arie early in the season, but … okay, we can guarantee that.
4. Kendall Long (Los Angeles). She works set dresser in LA, and reportedly has a twin sister named … wait … wait for it … Kylie.
Not only that, she and Kendall Jenner have the same birthday, and she did production work on Keeping Up. Twilight Zone stuff.
Long also plays the ukulele and sings, so you can expect that as early-season filler on one of her dates with Arie Jr. as well.
The order in which The Bachelor eliminates three of the four ladies listed about remains to be seen, but those are Arie’s chosen four.
Who will prevail of this fabulous quartet?
All we can say for sure is that we’ll be updating The Bachelor spoilers anytime more information comes in this winter, and you best believe it will.
