It may be marketed as a chick show, but long ago, I convinced all of my male friends that they needed to be watching The Bachelor. Sure, it may have a "romance" theme, but think about it this way: This is a reality show that brings on 30 of the world's sexiest women, who then compete in tiny bikinis for the affections of the titular bachelor. The prerequisites for being a contestant include flat abs, glowing skin, shampoo commercial hair, and a penchant for losing your clothing. It is, in effect, an hour-long modeling display.

This season had even more sexy ladies than most, and we now live in a beautiful world where we can see tons of theirhottest photos on Instagram. I would be remiss not to compile a list of the sexiest contestants and where you can follow them, so that's what I did. Enjoy.

Ah, Liz. The only eliminated contestant on this list, she's a 29-year-old doula. She slept with the bachelor at a wedding once upon a time, which is more or less why she was cut.

Things you need to know about Corinne: She's a 24-year-old business woman with a nanny, and she's ruthless. She's already gone topless for a photoshoot on the show and says she wants to show even more sex appeal, which is incredibly promising.
