Review: I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this show. I mean, the entire premise of it sounds so weird and uncomfortable: More than 20 women all fighting for the same man? And while these girls are all falling in love, this same man is kissing and dating a ton of women at the same time? It all makes me feel a little icky, and it doesn't sound like something that could ever result in anything real. However, plenty of the bachelors do end up marrying and having children with the woman they choose, so there most be some real love going on.. Anyway, my favourite part about these kind of shows is definitely the drama between all the women, since I honestly find it very entertaining. And this series sure has quite a lot of that going on, so I enjoyed watching it.

Favourite contestants: Laura Byrne (S5), Simone Ormesher (S5) and Tara Pavlovic (S5).

The entire idea of watching this show is to see the women breakdown week after week. Australian women are way too self contained and don't have the hystionic to make this show interesting.

Plus quite a lot of the women are rather homely. We all know Australian women are hot. Guess those don't need the show to get a date.

Week after week it's a snooze.

Has a history of producing Psychological disorders for contestants. Reports of Producers exploitation to encourage contestants publicly demoralize, demean, vilify, defame, humiliate, others. Poor viewing quality. Not reality and not properly produced drama. What is it for other than a small population who like to see others publicly demoralize, demean, vilify, defame, humiliate, on worldwide Television. The human costs for mental health raises concerns

A bunch of cringing desperate chick's wanting one bloke

Everyone knows this is staged, the winners picked before the show starts and all the contestants are all clients from model/acting/performing companies, right?
