'The Bachelor' 2016 Cast Announced
There will be familiar faces among the women competing for Ben Higgins' heart.
— -- The 28 women competing for Ben Higgins' heart on the upcoming season of the "The Bachelor" have been announced.
Get excited, "Bachelor" fans: you already know two of them.
Becca Tilley and Amber James, both of whom appeared on Chris Soules' season, will appear this season.
The list also includes former "Bachelorette" Kaitlyn Bristowe's friend, a set of twins from Las Vegas, a war veteran and a chicken enthusiast.
And, if Higgins, 27, got what he was asking for, all of them are serious about settling down.
"You should come on 'The Bachelor' if you’re ready to, first off, share an experience that will change your life ... and if you're serious about meeting somebody," he told ABC News in August. "I’m ready to have a great time with this and I want everybody that comes on to at least walk away saying, 'That was worth me sacrificing time out of my life.' ... So if you want to have a good time, if you want to hang out with me a little bit and explore what relationships are like then, come on the show."
