Meet Rachel Truehart, one of twenty-five eligible bachelorettes competing for the heart of hunky wine maker Ben Flajnik on Season 16 of The Bachelor set to premiere January 2, 2012 on ABC.
Rachel is a 27-year-old sales rep originally from Massachusetts currently living in New York. As her name would suggest, Rachel seems to have a true heart at least as far as her desire to meet someone special goes. She has a profile on MeetUp.com that she created in February of 2011 with this description of herself:
I’m really just interested in meeting some new people, maybe trying some new things. Just looking to open myself up to new experiences and hopefully make some friends along the way 🙂
I don’t think Rachel being on the show “for the right reasons” will be an issue!
Pro: Call me a sucker, but Rachel’s last name has me thinking fairy tales and Kasey Kahl tattoos! She seems to be a perfect companion for Prince Charming Ben Flajnik! (And if not Mrs. Flajnik, can you say Bachelorette?)
Con: Ben Flajnik might not be so enamored by fairy tale romance surnames.
Heterosexual dude notes: I’m telling you – that name and that face has me wanting to put on armor, mount a horse and risk my life jousting for her honor! I think I might even considering changing my name when we marry – Asa Truehart. I like it!
Rachel Truehart
Age: 27
Occupation: Fashion Sales Rep at Lucerne Textiles in New York
Education: Graduated from Roger Williams Univerity in 2006
Hometown: Southhampton, Massachusetts
If you could be someone else for just one day, who would it be and why?
I think I would want to be a guy for the day just to see what it’s like….I think I would hate it but it would be good insight. Either that or a huge celebrity and see what it’s like to be followed and photographed everywhere you go.
What is your greatest achievement to date?
Moving to NYC on my own when I had no friends moving there or to live with. I was determined to make it work, even though I had some people back home who doubted me.
What is your all-time favorite book and why?
“A Return to Love” by Marianne Williamson – I found it very empowering way to let more love in your life and just very different ways of looking at situations than people are used to.
Tattoo Count: 1
Location: Back
What is your biggest date fear?
That a date that I was really excited for and looking forward to just go terrible and is a huge disappointment.
