One of them is Rachel Lindsay, the very first African-American woman on the series. The 31-year-old lawyer from Dallas, Texas is also rumored to be the first woman who will receive Nick's first impression rose this season.
The other woman who will join Nick in another hometown date is the Howie, Arkansas native named Raven Gates. However, the name of the two other hometown date recipients remains a mystery.
