Jimmy Nicholson’s quest for love is almost upon us and now, we’ve been treated to our first glimpse at the ladies starring on this year’s season of The Bachelor.
A new trailer has given Bachie fans a look at four of this year’s romantic hopefuls and it seems that 2021 is the year of grand entrances.
Keep scrolling to meet the women battling it out for pilot Jimmy’s heart.
Lily
We’ve seen some bold moves over the years but blonde beauty Lily takes the cake arriving via a rose-decorated hot air balloon.
She’s certainly one to watch as the Bachelor couldn’t resist commenting on her blue eyes.
“There’s probably a big smile on my face,” Jimmy muses in the trailer. “She’s beautiful.”
Brooke
They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach and Brooke could be on to something.
This contestant brought a Sri Lankan love cake to share with Jimmy on their first meeting.
“Brooke’s breathtakingly beautiful, I’m doing backflips inside,” he confessed.
One to watch?
Holly
You can’t beat an intimate date at a wine bar, so this hopeful decided to bring one to the mansion!
In fact, Holly’s gesture certainly made an impression.
“Having this little sit-down with Holly, it’s flirty, it’s fun. The chemistry’s definitely there,” Jimmy said.
On what she can offer a partner, Holly said: “Banter, a 4.9 star Uber rating, 49% of the doona, great taste in restaurants and go-to bars, and loyalty.”
Jay
This chess lover decided to challenge the Bachelor to a game upon their first encounter, but even though she messed up her play Jimmy was a fan.
“I feel like Jay’s chess probably game didn’t go to plan. It’s really cute and it’s just really authentic.”
Chanel
Flight manager Chanel looks to go all in on her first meeting with Jimmy.
Setting up an aeroplane passenger seat, where Jimmy sits while sipping some champagne.
“Ladies and gentleman, welcome on board Bachelor airways flight 2021. Destination: true love,” she says into a fake PA system, making Jimmy chuckle.
It seems Chanel is one smooth operator, falling into Jimmy’s lap while demonstrating how to recline the seat.
“A bit of unexpected turbulence at the start there which … I’m not complaining,” Jimmy is shown saying to the camera.

Sierah
Alpha female Sierah, 28, is prepared to be engaged by the end of the show, on her terms, of course.

Belinda
Hoping to close the chapter on her single life, the criminal lawyer from Queensland admitted she is a “hopeless romantic”.
“I’m manifesting my fairy tale happy ending,” the 29-year-old said.
Laura
The 28-year-old from South Australia said she’s done with the dating game and is ready to settle down.
How exactly does Laura plan on capturing our Bachelor’s heart?
“With more than enough personality to keep him occupied until we’re old and withered,” the speech pathologist said.
Lauren
The 29-year-old proud South Australian warned she isn’t afraid of confrontation if Jimmy is worth fighting for.
However, the office administrator said she always picks her battles wisely.
Madison
The stunning marketing coordinator from Victoria said she’s “really into” guys who are funny and loyal.
The 24-year-old is hoping Jimmy can easily slot in well with her family and friends if she makes it to the end.
Rebekah
The youth support worker admitted she often gets ghosted by guys after falling “hard and fast” for them.
Rebekah said she often winds up sitting on the couch, watching romantic comedies and crying her eyes out after heartbreak.
Tamlyn
The brunette beauty from NSW has high standards when it comes to men and isn’t willing to settle for anything less than what she deserves.
Tamlyn, a 25-year-old customer service officer, said her dream man is outgoing, confident and “extremely funny” and goal-driven.
After falling in love with her best friend, who didn’t feel the same way, Tamlyn hopes Jimmy could be the one.
Tahnee
The corporate travel manager from Victoria describes herself as “mentally strong” and comfortable with the woman she is.
Tahnee’s idea of a dream date consists of a picnic or going to a quiet restaurant with stunning views and great food.
Stephanie
Business Development Manager Stephanie is flying the flag for Western Australia.
The 27-year-old loves throwing herself into new experiences and is ready to find someone to settle down with.
Her perfect man is tall, dark and handsome, with a self-deprecating sense of humour.
Stevie
Hair stylist Stevie admitted she has high standards but “loves deeply”.
The 29-year-old said she isn’t judgmental when it comes to physical appearance, but said her ideal man is an animal-lover with a positive outlook on life.
0Ashleigh
The blonde beauty from Victoria applied for The Bachelor after a few failed attempts to find love on Tinder.
But the 28-year-old speech pathologist didn’t let her bad dates get her down, saying she found a bunch of cool bars and brunch spots in the process.
Annabelle
Jimmy could be Annabelle’s perfect match, with the 29-year-old often finding herself drawn to tanned men with green eyes and brown hair.
Annabelle struggles with online dating because she finds herself getting overwhelmed with notifications on her phone.
Although she has cared deeply for ex-partners, Annabelle has never been in deep, deep love.
1Ash
Jimmy will be in for a fun time with dance teacher Ash, whose most embarrassing moment was when her stiletto heel broke on a first date.
Hopefully the 34-year-old Queenslander remembers to pack a few pairs of extra heels when she heads to the mansion.
Carlie
Corporate lawyer Carlie said her parents’ loving 46-year marriage has taught her what she wants in a partner.
The 33-year-old is at the stage of life where she has achieved everything she wanted career-wise, but all that’s missing is starting a family of her own.

In 10 years, personal trainer Elena sees herself with two children and married to the man of her dreams.
The 33-year-old from NSW describes herself as strong and independent, with a bubbly and fun personality.

The 26-year-old registered nurse has been in love twice before, but hopes Jimmy is third times the charm.
Hannah is down to earth and wants a supportive partner who is always up for adventure and a laugh.

Executive recruiter Jacinta applied for The Bachelor after years of no luck finding her forever man.
The 29-year-old, who admitted she often ignores red flags in relationships, said her perfect date would be something outdoorsy and adventurous followed by some wine.
Tatum
The 26-year-old who hails from Queensland is looking for a confident, loving and emotionally available man.
Tatum is extremely family orientated, and can’t wait to introduce Jimmy to her loved ones.
