WATCH:
I'm not ashamed to admit I love a reality TV show or two, and the new season of The Bachelor Australia has proved to be the perfect thing to spice up these midweek winter nights. We're only just off the starting blocks and the drama has already left me floored. No offence to New Zealand, but the Aussies seem to really up the ante on these shows. Perhaps we're more reserved than our brash neighbours, I'm not sure, but whatever is in the water over there it certainly makes for great television. Some of the ladies seem to have launched a full-scale assault in their quest to win the love of ex-professional rugby player Nick "the honey badger" Cummins. It's certainly shaping up to be a season to remember.
