‘The Bachelor’ 2016 Contestants: Unofficial Cast List For Ben Higgins’ Season Leaked


It’s still a while before The Bachelor 2016 premieres on ABC, but there are plenty of scoops to go around until that time. Over the last few months, some names have been leaked as to who’ll be on the show looking for love. It’s challenging for sleuths to learn which ladies will be on the show with producers doing their best to cloak everything in secrecy. It doesn’t always work, however.

As hard as the network executives may try to prevent their biggest surprises from getting out, it’s been proven time and time again that they can’t conceal everything. This is especially true with the reality show’s cast members. Social media has made it virtually impossible for The Bachelor and The Bachelorette to film the show without spies everywhere snapping photos and stalking rumored contestants.

Somehow, Caila Quinn got the scoop over at Okay! Here is the Situation and broke it all down. Quinn listed the names, ages, and professions of the women who’ll be on Ben Higgins’ season of The Bachelor.

This is a partial list that will continue to be updated whenever new names emerge. The unofficial cast list for The Bachelor 2016 is listed here with contestants in alphabetical order by first name.

Amanda Stanton, 29, is from Orange County, California. This Bachelor contestant runs a health and wellness website and is a mother to two young daughters.
