On the original and the best, the US versions when they started, the men and women on both shows exhibited a bit of class and shine amongst the bitching. This Sophie Monk series looks like it will be dire. On The Project she was full on bogan.

I wasn’t referring to her appearance. I was referring to her personality. The franchise had a boring bachelor and bachelorette last year. Georgia came across as fake. My money is on Matt J being a snore. Monk is sure to be anything but boring. So, as I said, casting gold.

No way. He is definitely one of the most fun and likeable contestants the show has ever had IMO. I think they’ve perfected the casting for both The Bachelor and Bachelorette this year. Both of them are actually interesting, fun and have big personalities which Georgia and Richie lacked last year.

While Sophie has enjoyed a successful career in the entertainment industry both at home and in the US, out of the spotlight she has struggled to find a love that will stand the test of time.

Now back at home and living on the Gold Coast, Sophie is looking for a down-to-earth Aussie bloke with whom she can start the journey of a lifetime.

Funny, honest and endearing, Sophie is sure to make this season of The Bachelorette Australia one to remember as she sets out to find her forever person.

The ad looks great. I wouldn’t be surprised if The Bachelorette outrates The Bachelor

Mischievous1 · August 17, 2017, 9:32pm

I believe it will. I’m not the biggest fan of Sophie Monk but I think she will be a drawcard. She’s pretty rough around the edges so is more than likely to be brutalyl honest which should provide plenty of entertainment.

The Courier-Mail reports Sophie Monk could earn $300,000 for participating on the show.

Sophie Monk Opens Up About Love.

Sophie Monk is known for making Australia laugh with her self-deprecating humour. Now as she prepares to find love, the funny girl is finally letting her guard down.

A vulnerable Sophie opens up about wanting to find forever love in an extended sneak peek of The Bachelorette Australia, coming soon to TEN and WIN Network.

In an honest and candid interview, the singer and actor explains her thoughts on being Australia’s next Bachelorette.

“I know I’m not the typical Bachelorette. I’m 37. I’m a massive bogan. But I really hope Australia understands that I want to find something genuine and they back me on this and don’t think I’m a tool, to be honest,” she says.

“But I am so awkward [and] the worst flirt you’ve ever met. I get really nervous and it’s just embarrassing when I’m on a date.”

Sophie goes on to explain how a life in the spotlight has kept her from finding the type of love most people find.

“Living in LA for 10 years, I’ve dated actors and rock stars. I think they’ve fallen in love with my image, not with me,” she says.

“Because I’ve played roles that are quite sexy and promiscuous, people think I’m like that. That’s probably why I attract the wrong guys, too. That’s one thing I regret. I feel like I chose my career and you can’t really have both.”

A teary Sophie continues: “I’m just here because I want to find a good man, that I think would be a good father, and just someone that loves me.
