Will this be the watershed moment for Gingers around the world, when the Rangas rule supreme- c’mon he isn’t strawberry blonde, that’s a term for those refusing to accept gingerdom.
Make sure you check out all the profiles if you haven’t already just click on each Bachelorettes name for their profile
ALEX
The current favourite has pulled a pin on a grenade before the show has even aired, admitting that she is still in love with her ex Tom, after splitting in 2015, declaring that they are still in the same friendship group. Whoa. Back it up there sister, what was that? Sorry, you can’t be friends with your ex. There is only one couple that have successfully managed to remain friends after being in a relationship and that was a show about nothing. Oh wait…
ODDS: $3.50
KEIRA
Sure to get the fireworks flying early, Keira knows what she wants and she gave Richie a sneak peak at what he can have at the opening cocktail party with a revealing black gown. Her perfect date would be to go hot air ballooning, while the most romantic thing done for her was climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge and then realising at the top she was scared of heights. I wonder if she knows where hot air balloons go?
ODDS: $21
JANEY
A Queenslander, Janey looks made for reality television. Her bio reads that she loves sparkles, unicorns and fairies and the date of her dreams would be to be frocked up and go somewhere romantic like the Bachelorette mansion. Welcome home.
ODDS: $31
MEGAN
Trying Tinder for a month or so, not sure how long the so was, the 27 year-old sand groper loves being outdoors and is endearing, street-smart and adventurous. All the qualities she used in her most memorable dating story- having her date throw up at a wedding reception, he forgot her name and she broke into his house to get him home. Why are you on this show, you let true love slip through your fingers that night.
ODDS: $7.50
ELIZA
The market don’t fancy the chances of Eliza making it through, perhaps they have seen a sneak peek at the song she warbles for Richie on the red carpet. Will this be a classic case of art imitating life imitating art imitating life? Eliza is an actress that has her own stand-up show centred around a single 35YO who likes to hit the gin. An actress on The Bachelor. No!
ODDS: $51
OLENA
Not sure how long the Series lasts for, but Olena is a short priced favourite for quote of the tournament prior to kick-off. “You never know where you can find love, it can be random places and this is one of them”. Might need to look up the word random Olena, pretty sure pre-conceived and random are not synonyms.
ODDS: $5.50
AIMEE
Not sure what to think of Aimee after reading her most memorable dating story. At a party with her ex-boyfriend and they introduced themselves as brother and sister and then they would kiss and run away from each other so that others at the party could see it. Not my cup of tea, but hey the Greeks do things differently.
ODDS: $21
TIFFANY
A training administrator from West Australia, not sure if I would like to be in a course facilitated by Tiffo. It seems she has no idea what she wants. Her favourite food is Thai, Indian, roasts, BBQ’s, ice cream, breakfast, chocolate- is that fusion cooking hitting the meth? Meanwhile her dream date would be surfing, sailing, completing a challenge together, a treasure hunt or an obstacle course. Maybe a little more time to decide what it is you would like?
ODDS: $9
FAITH
A hairdresser from Brisbane, Faith might be bundled out early- she looks too normal. Sightings of her returning to work at her salon also suggest her time in the tournament may be limited. Either that, there is a big rort about to go down. Better keep an eye on the price and keep an eye on the moves.
ODDS: $11
MARJA
A rank outsider to make it to the rose garden or whatever it is at the finish, yoga instructor Marja is the oldest in the ‘competition’. I think she needs to find Asa, seems she has not moved on from their time dating together.
ODDS: $51
VINTAEA
The massage therapist wants to challenge herself with a new experience, may as well go all in after being dealt a 2 and a 7 hey? In racing parlance – might find this too strong first up, prefer others.
ODDS: $51
LAURA
Nothing superficial in what Laura is after. At least she is up front I guess. The Victorian project manager is on the show to potentially meet an absolute babe. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. I was starting to think that I would get along well with her as she is a fan of Edward Norton and his best work is in Rounders, one of my favourite movies. Then I read she wouldn’t trust a man with a hairy back. Play on.
ODDS: $21
RACHAEL
First line of her bio- fiery and outspoken. Those two traits in a room of 22 females on reality television- all the attributes of compelling viewing. Let’s hope she makes the semi-finals to make this an interesting tournament.
ODDS: $15
SASHA
Just so that everyone is across this, this Sasha is not the same Sasha that appeared on The Bachelorette and found love with Sam Frost. It had me confused for a little bit. It’s crazy to think that this Sasha doesn’t have a man yet when her favourite food is fried chicken! A night on the vodka with some dirty bird the next day to help the hangover, surely there are plenty of guys after that.
ODDS: $34
NONI
Handing Richie a bouquet of bacon roses she continues down the charcuterie path “Don’t go bacon my heart”. Ding, ding, ding- stop the fight ladies and gentleman we have a weiner.
ODDS: $51
SOPHIE
Sophie could be flying under the radar, no outlandish statements or back-story to find. Her most memorable date seems a strange story, perhaps they ate in the back booth at the restaurant on their date. She will be doing it alone too, as the only player from South Australia to tee off.
ODDS: $31
KIKI
Kirralee or Kiki as we will get to know her by will likely be in the medal playoffs. With a background like hers, the producers will be making sure she is still around at the business end of the season. The Sydneysider is a passionate animal rights activist who has dreams to travel the world saving whales. Equally at home in an evening gown as a swimsuit… Hang on, has she signed up for the right contest?
ODDS: $11
NIKKI
A real estate agent, Nikki, like Richie, is from WA. They both have an interest in horse racing, share a mutual friend and both have had experience in the media. Interesting turn of events. It appears Nikki is not too dissimilar to a former love interest of Richie’s. They have been spotted holding hands and giggling. The $9 looks good value!
ODDS: $5
MIA
A high jumper that has represented Australia, I think you have lowered the bar by going on this show. Her hero is Derek Drouin who is 26, she is 24. Is it strange to have a hero that is basically the same age as you? Meanwhile her dream date would be a surprise picnic and wine at sunset on the beach. Does anyone else have pizza at a picnic or have I been doing it wrong?
ODDS: $51
TOLYNA
Is she the one to win the Sony recording deal after turning all 4 chairs? The Mexican personal trainer seems very sure of herself and her interests match those of Richie. Seems strange that she is still single, her worst ever date doesn’t seem that bad, 40 minutes late for a lifetime of love… Too choosey perhaps?
ODDS: $6
GEORGIA
I hope Richie doesn’t take a sugar in his coffee or he won’t be getting far with 24YO artist Georgia. A strange deal breaker from someone that had such a deep and connecting Tinder profile line as “I believe in miracles, where you from? You sexy thang.” Her chance at five minutes of fame was blown out of the water when Georgia Love was declared as the 2016 Bachelorette- she can’t even get any love from Google.
ODDS: $41
NATALIE
At 27, Natalie has never had a boyfriend. Reality TV seems the most logical place to look. If she can make the top 8, it will be a good season for the three time degree holder, but her chances to go any further look incredibly slim. She looks a value lay at the $21. Oh come on, I wouldn’t allude to something like that- to lay in betting terms means that you don’t think that proposition can win.
ODDS: $21
