The Bachelor NZ: The wait is over

The wait is finally over. The Bachelor NZ is right at our fingertips.

I am definitely excited! There’s nothing that I love more than 21 women fighting for the love and affection of one man! It’s a guaranteed good time! But there are still many unanswered questions floating around regarding the show, some of which I’ve tried to answer myself to no or very little avail and I’m hoping tonight’s premiere will bring the answers.

Who is The Bachelor?

Things we know about the Bachelor:

1. He’s a sexy man who can ride a horse.

2. That's the end of the list.

But who is this guy, exactly? I think it might be Shortland Street’s former majestic paramedic Cameron Jones, mainly because of this Bachelor related tweet he made. Let’s be real here, “I am not The Bachelor” is definitely something that The Bachelor would say.

Wait a minute. Now that I think about it, many of New Zealand’s icons have been dropping hints. I’m pretty stumped.

Who are these women?

This screencap from one of the ads for The Bachelor makes them look like they are at a very sad wedding where the bride has thrown her bouquet and all of them have fought for it, ripped it apart and taken one rose each. They’re also all very attractive women which could possibly be a problem. What if Mr Bachelor just isn’t into that? What if he doesn’t fall in love with any of them? I have MANY questions and concerns.

“Sorry, can I interrupt?”

This little nugget of scandal was also in one of the ads and has kept my brain up at night. Why did she want to interrupt and what did she have to say? Here are a few of my guesses:

- “Is it okay if I quickly use the bathroom?.”

- “I’m disgusted by how much you have copied my husband. From the hair to the suit, do you not have any value or respect for originality? You’re a laughing stock. It’s cheesy, it’s disgusting, and I’m ashamed to be in your presence.”

- “Why isn’t Sonny Bill Williams 'The Bachelor'?”

- “I really think that you should give Mike Puru a chance.”

Which will it be? The first one? None of these? Too many questions? Hopefully tonight’s premiere and tomorrow’s episode bring forth the answers.
