Jessica Carroll is ready to try dating on television, as she'll appear on The Bachelor next year.

Jessica is a 26-year-old television host from Calgary, Alberta, who currently resides in Los Angeles, CA.

The beautiful bachelorette will be competing for Bachelor Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s heart when Season 22 of The Bachelor premieres Monday, January 1 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.

Arie is hoping to find "the one" after losing his one true love, Emily Maynard, when she had selected Jef Holm instead at the final Rose Ceremony of The Bachelorette's twelfth season in 2012.

Jessica will likely catch Arie's eye when the pair first meet, but will they have lasting chemistry? And will Jessica have all the qualities the 36-year-old pro racing driver turned real estate is looking for in his future wife?
