The Bachelor's 2022 edition is set to premiere on Monday, January 3 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.

Salley was one of 31 bachelorettes chosen to appear on Night 1 of The Bachelor's 26th season, but ABC listed her in its cast announcement as "previously engaged."

According to the network, Salley hates cotton balls and can't be near them. She is also obsessed with hot tubs, which would be a good date idea for The Bachelorette.
