The Bachelor Premieres 7.30 Wednesday 26 July. Fireworks Guaranteed.
Published: 16 July 2017

Matty J is ready. 22 of Australia’s most eligible and glamorous Bachelorettes are desperate for that limo door to open. And we can’t wait to see which one will sweep him off his feet.
We swooned, sighed, and cried as Matty J came so agonisingly close to winning his heart’s desire on The Bachelorette. Now, having bravely refused to close the book on true love, he begins a new chapter that will hopefully lead to the woman of his dreams.

22 stunning Bachelorettes are ready and waiting to fit the bill, and you’ll meet them with Matty when The Bachelor makes its highly anticipated return 7.30 Wednesday 26 July on TEN, continuing 7.30 the following night.

Aged between 23 and 34, these remarkable women include a police officer, a body painter, a midwife and a criminal lawyer, meaning Matty will undoubtedly have his work cut out when deciding who to offer those precious roses to.

The competition for his affection will be understandably fierce, so expect more drama, rivalries and romance than ever before.

Host Osher Günsberg is back to ensure all’s fair in love and war, helping steady the Bachelor’s nerves, announce the memorable dates, and dispense a sage word of romantic advice or two.

For Matty J, past heartbreak won’t dull a moment he feels has come at the perfect time. “More than ever I am so excited about the prospect of settling down,” he says. “Timing is such a crucial factor when it comes to making this commitment and I know wholeheartedly, there is nothing I want more.

“I feel so privileged that I have been given the opportunity to be the Bachelor. Without question, the most exciting part is the chance to meet the girl I am going to spend the rest of my life with.”

Blah, blah, blah. It's the same ol' stuff.

Good luck Matty J, break a leg, not a tooth! :tongue: May the odds (of no fame-ho's) be ever in your favour. ;)
 
I can't remember was he in a Bachelorette season?

He was in last years Bachelorette with Georgia (?if that was her name) - I only know that because they show it in the ads and her make up and hair is atrocious

He is THE nicest and cutest Bachelor male or female they have managed to find/grab, so I much more watchable - and OMG Bach seems classy in comparison to all of the tacky copies/and taking relationships to the extreme in abundance in RTV.
 
THE 22 women who will compete for Matty J’s heart on the upcoming season of The Bachelor have been revealed.

The ladies, who range in age from 23 to 34, will attempt to woo 30-year-old Matty Johnson who appeared on season two of The Bachelorette.

The show has already been filmed and Matty J told news.com.au that his relationship with the winner is still going strong.

“I am very happy to say that I’ve found love — and that I’m very happy right now,” he said.

But the identity of the woman who captured his heart is unknown. Here are the Bachelorettes he had to choose from:

Gawd, who wrote those descriptions? Absolute PR drivel
 
Based on exactly nothing apart from my gut instinct, he'll pick Lisa or Simone, take that to the bank. LOL
 
He is THE nicest and cutest Bachelor male or female they have managed to find/grab, so I much more watchable - and OMG Bach seems classy in comparison to all of the tacky copies/and taking relationships to the extreme in abundance in RTV.

I agree. I think I will enjoy this season a lot.

Tara the best looking woman.

I am surprised. I thought you would like the Skye doppelganger.

I am surprised. I thought you would like the Skye doppelganger.

Well i'm obviously only basing it off their photos. I mean I could change my opinion once I start seeing some episodes.

Besides, I could never be attracted to a Skye doppelganger.
 
"Now, having bravely refused to close the book on true love..."

Oh, hahaha! This is going to be good. I hope he gives the non-blondes a chance.
 
Oh beauty, excellent trashy TV viewing tonight.....the drunk 1st party fun, fun, fun
And any girl with no listed occupation - loser. Red dresses = bad move, men generally fear red clothing
Matty seems quite classy, he speaks well, and seems reasonably refined for RTV

Have you seen in preview clips a woman has a weird cream frock with /sydney opera house hip extensions???
Bad frocks and booze and bitchin, yea

I do hope he ditches all the bleach heads, and that one very manly brunette.
 
It'll be interesting to see all the first meetings that the women have with Matty J. Because how they impress the bachelor during those first few moments is going to be vital in making sure they progress through the weeks.
 
Which Bachelorette has a kid? 'Cos the past couple of seasons indicate it'll be the MILF that gets the ring.

:dummy1::dummy:
 
Going to watch the meets like a hawk this time - they generally pick the winner right there and then, don't they? She did last time anyway - and she must cringe watching those clips, her awful, awful weird hair and make-up, bad frock too:)
 
...that Matty's family look like they're loaded!... nice house I guess?... evenin' all... yes... I'm giving this show a go as promised lol!... cheers.
