Cassie Randolph Is an Early Favorite on Colton Underwood's Season of 'The Bachelor'

Judging from Colton Underwood's very brief relationship, you wouldn't think Cassie Randolph would be his "type." However, the blonde beauty is an early favorite on Season 23 of The Bachelor. 

We won't spill any finale spoilers yet — if you want to find out who Colton ends up with you read it here — but fans are already talking about Cassie since the list of ladies competing on the reality dating competition was leaked. 

So, why is Cassie, a 23-year-old ESL teacher from Huntington Beach, CA, high on Bachelor fans' brackets? Well, it's pretty obvious one you stalk her Instagram page, which we did for research purposes only (sort of). 

Cassie is not only a ESL teacher at an adult school, she is also currently in grad school. Clearly, she takes her education very seriously — and that probably impressed Colton. "I need somebody who’s fun, spontaneous, outgoing,” Colton, 26, told Ellen DeGeneres of his dream woman. "Appearance-wise, it’s sort of all across the board. But I just need somebody who’s a good person and somebody who could be a good mother… I like to be challenged in a relationship, too. Somebody who can push me and allow me to grow and sort of take me out of my comfort zone at times." 

According to her ABC bio, she is completing her degree in speech pathology and "open up a private practice to work with kids." 

Just like Colton, Cassie is also very athletic and frequently shows off her surfing skills on Instagram. "heat waves < ocean waves," she recently captioned a video of her on her surfboard. 

Now, we know Colton won't be meeting Cassie's family unless she makes it to hometowns, but if he does, he'll most likely meet her younger sister Michelle. Michelle is basically a social media influencer with over 100,ooo followers on Instagram, and she is rumored to dating Gregg Sulkin (Bella Thorne's ex). 

Cassie recently wished her sis a happy birthday on the social media platform, writing, "So lucky to be stuck with you our entire lives. Wouldn't want to be in a rocking chair with anyone else. LOVE U more than life bb girl." 

Goose has made several appearances on Cassie's Instagram, and TBH, he steals the spotlight. And while Colton might be more of a puppies guy — at least judging from his "puppy love" Bachelor promo — we have a feeling he will get along with Cassie's cat just fine. 

If Colton wants someone ready to walk down the aisle, then Cassie is definitely his girl. She was just the maid of honor for her BFF and she gushed about the experience on Instagram. "My gorgeous best friend got married this last weekend," she wrote. "Jacq, you were an absolutely STUNNING bride. Your friendship means the world to me and it was such an honor to stand with you as you married the man of your dreams (literally #sean). I could not be happier for both of you! #guttygetsabuddy." 

Don't worry Cassie, you just might be next! 

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!

If you're not one to wait until the finale to find out the winner, you will be excited to know that Cassie is reportedly engaged to Colton. According to Reality Steve, after Colton's very first overnight date in Portugal with Cassie, the former NFL player decided Cassie was the one and sent the other two finalists home. 

"I will be stunned if Cassie Randolph doesn’t win," RS wrote at the time. "The one thing I heard a few weeks into filming more often than not was, 'Cassie is gonna win, and Caelynn will be Bachelorette'... I’ve been hearing Cassie is going to win since mid-October." 

However, don't expect a proposal, RS also revealed that "Cassie got cold feet, anxious, whatever you want to call it, and realized she wasn’t ready to be engaged yet." She left the show and shortly after Colton returned to the California and told Cassie that he doesn't need an engagement and would prefer to just date her. They are currently still dating today. So, Colton and Cassie do get their happily ever after... sort of.
