"The Bachelor" has revealed the 29 women vying for the love of Arie Luyendyk Jr. in the 22nd season of the dating reality show.

According to ABC, the women belong to various professions -- businesswoman, personal stylist, publicist, event designer, graphic artist, and sports reporter, among others. Many also work in the real estate industry, the same profession as this season's bachelor.

It will be a quirky batch of women for season 22, which also includes a set decorator with a thing for zombies, a Yale graduate with failing grades in the love department, a rock-climbing nanny, and a Latin lady "who can spice things up in the romance department.

Ranging in age from 25 to 33 years old, the upcoming bachelorettes come from all over the United States as well as nearby Canada.

Luyendyk, the new bachelor, is a 36-year-old Dutch Formula 1 driver turned real estate broker, who is the son of two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Arie Luyendyk.

He was first revealed in a September interview with "Good Morning America," where he talked about his decision to be a part of the show.

"I just kind of went in with an open mind, open heart. It just kind of hit me right now that I'm here," he shared.

Reality dating shows are nothing new to Luyendyk, who was among the unsuccessful participants of the 2012 "The Bachelorette," which starred Emily Maynard. In the show's eighth season, Luyendyk stood out as among the most memorable contestants, and was even nicknamed the "kissing bandit."

The new bachelor said he would like to live up to that name again, but with the "right woman."

Who could that be? The full list of Luyendyk's bachelorettes and their bios can be viewed on the series' official website.

"The Bachelor" season 22 hits the small screens on Jan. 1 at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
