Planeta was a minor league baseball player and played college basketball at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, according to Nicki Swift.

He lives in Arizona and works as a personal trainer, according to Women's Health.

Planeta will try to win the affection of Thurston, who previously competed on Matt James' season of The Bachelor.

"A marketing manager with an innate social media savvy and humorous outlook on life, she is a witty storyteller who wants a man that will laugh along with her."
