PRO basketballer might be a stretch for Melbourne’s new Bachelor Felix Von Hofe, but there are plenty of other monikers the towering stallion has amassed.

“BDE” (look it up), “Pantsman”, “Ripping Bloke” and “Mad punter” are a few. They are the PG ones!

Let’s just say the collective agreement is Von Hofe has had far more accomplishments off court than on it as a Melbourne Tiger.

The former Wesley boy is well known at the racetrack, with Bachelor producers perhaps finally finding someone the ordinary woman might just like – ie not a quivering, socially progressive, sooky snowflake. Punters are well versed with Von Hofe on screen; the Lothario (right) reads the odds for Sportsbet, who we hear were just as surprised to see their thoroughbred pop up as Ten’s new Bachie. We have it on good authority he also has plenty of form – no, not just at the track but with breaking hearts kindly.

(sorry Herald Sun, you're wrong, if a man isn't socially progressive he's utterly uninteresting to me)

Hot Tip Herald Sun: most ordinary Australian women are no more interested in dating an arrogant F-boy than we are in re-electing a transphobic, corrupt, misogynistic PM.

Confirmed!
3 Bachs - Felix, Thomas & Jed.

Osher was coy on how many women.
No candles or fairylights.

Felix (in a white suit)
- hasn't used dating apps.
- likes proper 1:1 dates to get to know.

Jed (plaid suit jacket, no shirt)
- He's hot!
- Pricey does't like the suit.

Thomas (all black)
- Okay, wasn't expecting the accent - it's an Italian / Aus / US mix.

Also NO FAIRYLIGHTS?!

- Jed's suit is great

- I agree about the unexpected accent.  Presume they'll make him the mature/romantic lead compared to Sporty Felix and "alternative" (though actually conservative) Jed.

I can see why they went with these three; trying to appeal to multiple audiences.  Choose your favourite just like the Spice Girls (so long as your preference is white of course )

Off to wade through the complaints in the comments to look for clues...

butterflylove wrote:@Bobette definitely trying to appeal to different audience's with the three guys and I agree with your sentiments for them.

@Dumb they haven't said how many contestants and Osher side stepped the question with asked if there was going to be 3 times the women.

ETA: Read the 10Play article and it says there will be "more Bachelorettes than ever before".

Some of Jed's old Facebook comments have resurfaced from when he was 14/15. And they are disgusting to say the least.

Bobette wrote:@butterflylove I agree it's interesting he was allowed to comment - TPTB clearly in damage control mode.  I doubt they'll drop him and wonder how this will affect his portrayal; will they write him off as a villain and throw him under the edit bus, or try to redeem him with a soft spiritual spin?
