In which journalists and pop culture fanatic Kylie Klein Nixon and Emily Brookes talk about the first ever season of The Bachelorette NZ.
Love is a many splendored thing! So splendored, you have become a TV star to find it these days. This week we try to answer the question the entire nation is asking: If someone as awesome as the first Kiwi Bachelorette, Dr Lesina Nakhid-Schuster, can’t find love in a mansion stocked with the nation’s most eligible bachelors… what hope for humanity?
Also in this episode: Kylie pretends she’s not much of a Reality TV fan, Emily has a lot to say about the merits of the Bachelor/ette format and they both laugh at the guy who reckons he’s hotter than a Hemsworth.
Together the dynamic duo examine the ups and downs of The Bachelorette Nz’s first week, debate the ethics of Reality TV, dig into that shock secret reveal last Wednesday night and own up to which suitors they’d like to see sweep Lesina off her feet!
Hint: It’s probably the last bloke you’d imagine.
