‘The Bachelor’ spotlight: Meet model Angela Amezcua a.k.a. yogurt commercial extraordinaire
In this particular “Bachelor” spotlight article, we’ve got some video evidence of Angela Amezcua in action! Well, sort of — we have a tiny bit of footage of her in a Dannon yogurt commercial featuring herself alongside Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, a guy who if he was single, the producers for this show would probably be floating nonsensical rumors about him getting the gig like they did with Tim Tebow. Remember that? “The Bachelor: Dabbing All the Way to Your Heart.” We can see it now…
Anyway, this isn’t about Cam, though we do think that we can talk about this commercial for several paragraphs. (What grocery store has THIS much of any single yogurt?) Angela’s one of the contenders for Nick Viall’s heart this season, and we have to figure out whether or not she’s got a change. First, credit to The State for finding the video of Angela, and giving us a little more information about her beyond what we have in the limited ABC bio — we don’t like to be corrupted with actual “Bachelor” spoilers for these, but a little bit of pre-show info never hurt anyone!
Age – 26. Given that Nick is 36, we do wish the majority of his contestants were at the very least 25 and up and that there were more women in their thirties. We’ll probably rant about that a lot over the course of this spotlight series; no sense in obsessing over it here.
Occupation – She’s listed as a model in her bio, but as the aforementioned The State report mentions, she’s actually an officer manager in her day job. Guess putting that on a bio isn’t nearly as much fun, high? We can’t make any “Vogue” – “strike a pose” references, though we could start questioning if she works with Michael Scott or Stanley from “Office Space.” Both could work! Apparently, Angela does model in addition to teaching modeling classes in her spare time.
Location – Greenville, South Carolina — yea, this isn’t exactly the sort of place you consider many models living these days. We’re sure it’s lovely and it does check off the “Bachelor” box of “get as many people from the south as humanly possible.”
Things to know – If she could be any animal, she says that she would be a “dolphin,” which suggests to us that she is actually ASPIRING DOLPHIN TRAINER ALEXIS IN DISGUISE! Wait, wouldn’t that mean that Alexis would be training her? Moving right along…
On a more romantic note, she wants to be married in five years and have a child, while working as a stay-at-home mom and occasion model. At least she’s got a plan! The majority of these people don’t seem to. Here’s our big conundrum: How can someone say that they love licking the bottom of a popcorn bag for the excess butter and salt (as she mentions at the end of her bio), but then call a guy immature for “putting down the name as “Batman” while we waited for a table,” as she claims as her “worst date memory.” What gives? Maybe we’re just biased because we’ve kind of always wanted to do that — we’ve at least seen people dressed as Harley Quinn do this at Comic-Con.
How is she actually going to do? – There is a part of Angela that makes us think that she’s got a chance to last for at the very least a few weeks, since she seems to be fairly down-to-earth despite spending a day with Cam Newton selling high-protein yogurt. So long as there aren’t an influx of popcorn bags lying around the mansion, she should be able to impress Nick — we do always worry about model / actress types being there for fame, but we’d be more concerned if she was coming out of Los Angeles or some other hotbed.
Now, if there’s a modeling group date of any sort, expect at least three other contestants yelling “I hate her!” in the confessional room.
Do you think Angela can sell herself as a contender as well as Cam sells some of that yogurt? Share below, and be sure to head over here to check out some of our other “Bachelor” spotlights right now! (Photo: ABC.)
