Wow really Claudia? Hmm... interesting, I wouldn't have seen them as a match. At least she fixed her terrible bleached hair.

Did a bit of sleuthing on IG, so the guys from Lesina's season who aren't single atm are: Tavita, Quinn, Steve and Glenn. Obviously things can change. But I would love to see that silly man Elliot or Daryl made another cameo as the mole or something.

Looks like Art and Matilda are in the news for making racist jokes . . . . again, which makes me wonder if they would have him as host again? I would like to see them mix it up, perhaps Jesse from S1 if he's not an intruder? Although it's been very quiet so I wonder if the season will even go ahead

Jesse is a great suggestion @Jordan44!

He has the personality for it, but maybe he is a little bit too young. Art was able to be like a big brother to both the leads and the contestants, which was something I liked about him.
How about a female host? Are there any good alums, preferably in their thirties? I vaguely remember Hannah from season 3.

I guess casting isn’t going too well since they need Lily to help out.



And she does it in her own, very honest way:

So would I recommend it? To anyone that is mentally healthy, confident within themselves, open to finding somebody and open to something that’ll challenge them in ways they haven’t been challenged before, Yes. If that is NOT you, please do not enter.

Also love this part about the risk of a bad edit:

Like all times in life, on TV I encourage a healthy use of the word ‘no’. I am the queen of ‘nah’. It’s made a few producers want to dump my body but it’s kept me feeling like me, which is the most important part.

Also check out the banter with her old contestants in the comments. Really funny!

Do we know when applications close? Last year they started filming in October so I think it might be soon

Their last IG was in June asking for people to apply.

I found this site which appears you can still apply but there isn't a date so I'm not sure how old it is.

Would the October filming date still be realistic considering all that's going on?

Keeping an eye out for possible filming date if they go ahead with a second season. So far Art hasn’t been stated to be replaced or confirmed for sure as the host again. I know Matilda was the host for Heartbreak Island for their first season and then she chose to drop out. Considering how they’ve made the headlines with racism and such it could be Art would drop out and they’d find someone to replace him?

Art Green to host The Bachelorette AND The Bachelor next year

Wow, that's a bold move.  Will Pete Evans be doing the catering?    

ETA:  LOL at TPTB describing Bach as a companion to the Bachelorette.  Typical NZ using progressive language and being utterly awesome as usual.  

"We always like a bit of a twist with reality TV, so we thought we'd do The Bachelor as well as a companion to the Bachelorette."

ETAA:  Little update on Art's buddy Pete, who has recently had his IACGMOOH contract shredded by Ch10 and been dumped by his publisher for being a racist nutjob, IMO.

And this is a man Art chooses to align himself with?  Hmmmmmm.......
