Krystal Nielson caught Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s eye on Night 1 of The Bachelor when the show premiered January 1 on ABC.

Krystal is a 30-year-old fitness coach from Missoula, MT, who currently resides in San Diego, CA.

The blonde beauty stepped out of a limo in a hot red dress, one that Arie blogged will forever be burned into his mind. Not only did Krystal relax Arie and calm his nerves with a little meditation exercise, but she also maintained his attention until he was pulled away from her at the cocktail party by Chelsea Roy.

But Krystal made enough of a first impression, because the 36-year-old pro racing driver turned real estate agent handed her a rose at the first official Rose Ceremony of the season, when he had to cut eight out of 29 women.

Krystal has competed in fitness competitions and loves helping others live a healthy lifestyle. She also smiles when she gets nervous. Curious to learn more about the bachelorette?
