Lea Cayanan is one of the standout contestants from Season 28 of The Bachelor. But apparently, she stands out to more than just Joey Graziadei. Which celebs have slid into her DMs? Keep reading for all the tea and more about the Hawaii native.

Keepsake She Still Has From The Bachelor

Unlike the other contestants, Lea actually met Joey before Season 28 started filming. She was a guest at Charity Lawson’s After the Final Rose special in August. Host Jesse Palmer gave Lea a mysterious envelope with strict instructions not to open it until Night 1 in the Bachelor mansion.

Upon opening it, Lea found a special card that would give her an advantage over the other women. She could use the card to steal someone else’s one-on-one date.

However, in an interesting move, the account manager at PepsiCo chose to burn the card and earn the dates on her own merits. The bold move impressed Joey, and he gave Lea the first impression rose.

In an interview with bachelornation.com, Lea revealed that she kept the rose as a token of her experience on the show.

While there is always drama between some of the Bachelor contestants, the ladies also form tight friendships. Lea listed three people from Bachelor Nation she’d choose to hang out with for the rest of her life, and they’re all from her season.

She named Jess Edwards, Rachel Nance, and Katelyn DeBacker as three of her closest friends.

Lea also shared unique advice for future contestants of the ABC show. “An extra mirror!!! 23 girls sharing three bathrooms is absolute chaos,” she said about what to bring when living in the Bachelor mansion.
