‘The Bachelor’ spotlight: Danielle Lombard (a.k.a. Danielle Lo) hopes to win over Nick Viall
On this season of “The Bachelor” with Nick Viall, there is one type of contestant we’re seeing time and time again (other than, of course, the ones who love dolphins) — people from the Los Angeles area who seem to have some sort of modeling background as well as a separate business venture. We just had that in our spotlight of Corinne, and now we’re getting into it again with Danielle Lombard.
She’s someone who could be interesting to watch this season, but it’s hard to really get to know much about her based on her profile alone. Superficially, the first reaction that you get upon reading her info is that she probably is someone looking for a husband, but also wants to use the show to leverage her brand and have a permanent platform for it. We don’t really have a problem with that as much as some other people are, at least so long as she’s not over-the-top about it.
Age – 27
Occupation – It’s listed as “small business owner” online, but she’s also a model who has done a substantial amount of work over the past several years. She actually has over 100,000 followers on Instagram, which is more than the majority of the other women this season combined. She’s probably better known as Danielle Lo for her work online.
Location – She’s listed as Los Angeles, though we know that she’s done a lot of work in the Bay Area.
Things to know – She’s one of three women we’ve spotlighted so far to mention either “Scandal” or Olivia Pope, which does make you wonder whether some puppet-master at ABC is working behind the scenes to indoctrinate some of these contestants into liking some of their programs. She’s also seems to be a romantic judging from her favorite movies in (A Walk to Remember, Love Actually, The Notebook). Still, the biggest thing that you should know about her is what we’ve already said. There aren’t typically any celebrities among the contestants on a given “Bachelor” season, and while we wouldn’t necessarily consider her a celebrity, she is far more noteworthy than the majority of the people this season. Given that Nick has some history in the modeling world, it’s at the very least possible that he has heard of her in some capacity.
How is she actually going to do? – While on paper it seems like this could work given that they both live in the same area and have backgrounds in similar industries, we just don’t necessarily see it. We think that if Nick was interested in the model / actress type, he could’ve had that without going on this show. Danielle is someone who could last for a while and be on “Bachelor in Paradise,” but we don’t see her winning this show in particular.
