TEN’S new Bach spin-off, Bachelor In Paradise, starts tonight, with a seemingly endless supply of reality TV veterans marooned on an isolated Fiji resort in search of love.
Bach fans, here’s who you’ll be spending the next several weeks with:
Laurina Fleure, 34 (The Bachelor, Blake Garvey season)
‘Laurina Fleure’ still sounds like a women’s sanitary item to us but you do you babes. Picture: Channel 10Source:Channel 10
What she’s known for: Wailing after Blake took her on a date to Harry’s Cafe De Wheels for, in her words, “dirty street pie.” While that gave her a reputation as a spoiled diva, she later redeemed herself by getting her hands dirty as a contestant on
I’m A Celeb.
What to expect: Laurina reveals her exhaustive checklist for a potential suitor in a preview clip for
Bachelor In Paradise — see her full list below. Shall we expect another Laurina tantrum when she discovers she’s surrounded by a bunch of guys who just want to pivot from Instagram modelling to breakfast radio?

Apollo Jackson, 25 (The Bachelorette, Sophie Monk’s season)

What he’s known for: Being an implausibly beefy professional magician who, let’s be real, was never going to end up with Sophie Monk (he was what, seven when
Poison came out?)
What to expect: Shirtless fire twirling! Shirtless swimming! Shirtless dates! If Apollo did pack a shirt for this Fiji adventure, you can bet the Bachelor producers confiscated it on arrival.
Jarrod Woodgate, 32 (The Bachelorette, Sophie Monk’s season)

What he’s known for: Universally regarded as a stage five clinger, Jarrod reacted to Sophie Monk’s gentle rejection with quiet dignity, bursting into tears and running along a beach towards the horizon.
What to expect: He’s promised a “whole new Jarrod”, and he’s not wrong — he appears to have hooked up with fellow
Bach in Paradise cast member Keira. May god have mercy on his soul, she is gonna eat him alive.
Ali Oetjen, 31 (The Bachelor, Tim Robards season)
Ali was on the first season of The Bachelor, making her 117 in reality TV yearsSource:Supplied
What she’s known for: Ali came third on the first season of
The Bachelor way back in 2013, providing one of the series’ most painful moments when she leaned in to kiss Tim Robards and was brutally rebuffed. Since then, she has become an Instagram fitness blogger, the natural career path for any and all
Bachelorcontestants.
What to expect: A teaser for
Bach in Paradise shows several of the male cast members fizzing over her — so a cheeky pash shouldn’t be as hard to come by this time around.
