Michelle Young, the lead of Season 18, is ready to find her husband.
During an episode of “Bachelor in Paradise,” ABC teased Young’s upcoming season in an exclusive look. While the trailer begins, Little Mix’s “Bounce Back” plays in the background while the 28-year-old star stuns in a white lace dress.
Young begins to walk into a room filled with tons of flowers before she grabs onto a red rose. She then catches and dribbles a basketball before shooting it and making it into a basketball. The upcoming Bachelorette, who also happens to be a teacher, finally picks up an apple.
At the end of the trailer, she shares what she hopes will happen during her journey to find love.
“I’m looking for someone who’s going to change the world with me,” she says. “I’m ready.”
Young previously competed on Matt James’ “Bachelor” season, which aired earlier this year. She ended the season as the runner-up.

I’m excited that I get to have somebody to bond over with this and share notes as we go.”
