Zach Shallcross and his remaining contestants on The Bachelor are headed to the Bahamas in Episode 4, and from the looks of the preview, Brooklyn Willie gets to spend some quality time riding ATVs and chilling on the beach with Season 27’s leading man.

Those who watched The Bachelorette‘s “After The Final Rose” special in 2022 know that Willie was one of the lucky five contestants who got to meet Shallcross ahead of filming. (She’s the one who swore during the live taping. Now do you remember?!) Though the 25-year-old didn’t get America’s first impression rose or Shallcross’ first impression rose on Night 1, she clearly stood out in the group enough to land a one-on-one date in the Bahamas.

So who is Brooklyn Willie on The Bachelor? Here’s what we know about the Season 27 contestant who accompanies Shallcross on a one-on-one date in Episode 4.

Who Is Brooklyn Willie On The Bachelor Season 27?

Willie is a 25-year-old rodeo racer from Stillwater, Oklahoma, who made her first impression by tossing a lasso around a cardboard cutout of Shallcross in her intro video. In the video, which aired during the Season 27 premiere, Willie gave viewers a glimpse of what her typical day looks like and what she’s hoping to find in a partner.

“I rodeo, so I run barrels and I rope. Rodeo takes up so much of my life. I love it. It’s a lot of fun. It’s like having a full-time job. I have to keep all the horses exercised, have to feed them, make sure everything’s clean,” she said. “I feel I’m comfortable in my career and comfortable doing things for myself, but I want someone to share my life with. I’m looking for someone with a good heart — someone loyal and caring — because I do want kids someday. Zach is 100% husband material and I feel like Zach has really kind eyes. Also he has really nice teeth.”

Willie said she’s ready for an engagement and to start the next chapter of her life, and also thinks that finding love on The Bachelor would be “such an awesome journey” because her future kids could potentially watch her and Shallcross fall in love.

When Willie exited the limo on Night 1, she told Shallcross, “A fun fact about me, like you probably already know, is I spew profanities on live television when I get nervous. So sorry about that. That was my bad.” The two laughed, and she told cameras she was thrilled that filming already felt more relaxed than the live show.

If you’re looking for the basics on Willie, here is her official Bachelor bio: “Brooklyn is a rodeo country girl ready to saddle up for the love story of a lifetime! At just 13 years old, Brooklyn discovered her passion for horse barrel racing and went on to study animal science. One day, she dreams of being a professional rodeo cowgirl and horse trainer. But now, Brooklyn works as a lab designer for an oral surgery practice where she custom designs teeth for life-changing dental procedures. Zach, get ready to say cheese and show off those pearly whites! Brooklyn hasn’t had the easiest path when it comes to her relationship history, so she’s ready for a fresh start with the Bachelor. Will Zach be the perfect cowboy for this fun-loving cowgirl? Only time will tell.”

And here are her delightful fun facts:

  • Brooklyn would love to be able to teleport. 
  • Brooklyn is a two-stepping pro. 
  • Brooklyn loves to start her day with a delicious breakfast burrito.

How Far Does Brooklyn Willie Make It On Season 27 of The Bachelor? Reality Steve Weighs In

If you want to avoid major Bachelor spoilers for Zach Shallcross’ Season 27, consider this your chance to stop reading. But if you’re curious to know how far Brooklyn Willie makes it on the show this season, we’ve got a Reality Steve rumor below.

Keep in mind that all information from the Bachelor Nation’s favorite spoiler remains unconfirmed. But according to Reality Steve’s Season 27 spoilers, Willie receives another one-on-one date in Hungary during Week 7 and is sent home straight from the date. Reality Steve alleges that Brooklyn becomes the “pot stirrer” of the season’s latter half and finds herself “in the middle of a lot of drama.” Again, we’ll have to wait to see how things play out for ourselves.

New episodes of The Bachelor Season 27 premiere on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. Episodes are available for next-day streaming on Hulu.
