Completely agree!  Apparently Sophie gave the producers carte blanche to choose her men which seems to have allowed them to bring in a wider range of suitors than the usual.  

IMO some of the younger guys may be more for the audience's benefit (eye candy) but hopefully there are "a few good men" for Sophie or even just one if he's the right one.

I really like that. I don't know, maybe it's just me, i think it's fine to have a "type" but if i was hoping to find my life partner i would NOT want to narrow it down to a list of really specific traits. I think you need to keep an open mind. JMO which it looks like Sophie has.

It's not just you - I agree 100%

Will wait to see these guys in motion and they interaction with Sophie before commenting. Just saying. Lots of younger guys here and it makes me wonder if it was deliberate so she can remember concentrate on the few closer to her age. Just saying because I hope she's really serious about finding love on TV. JMHO

Her guys I believe are younger than Georgia had and Georgia was. 27. I swear Georgia got the best group of guys. JMO

I agree - I think most of these guys have been cast for the audience rather than Sophie.  IMO TPTB don't believe a cast of sensible, responsible middle-aged men would sustain the attention of the Australian viewing public, and TBH I think they're right.

Yes, she sure did

IA. She definitely got the best group of guys. In fact, I'd say she had the best overall group of guys for any Bachelorette franchise. Such a great group, Top 5 especially. They all got along so well overall and I loved how they all sang to her at CP and even later, another song for the Top 5 that rapped/sang. Just great personalities and looks too. Such a fantastic group. Best ever imo 
Hopefully the guys on Sophie's season are great and have great personalities too  

I just had a read through the contestants threads. I'm really disappointed for Sophie. Surely they could have looked harder for better matches for Sophie? I feel like there's one or two suitable guys and the rest are all duds. I can't help but feel like she got a bit stitched up i.e. she contacted them thinking she would get a group of guys like Georgia and that didn't happen. BUT I also suspected that would happen, really she needed a bunch of Lee's and I remember commenting when she was first announced that realistically, how many Lee's are there (as I predicted, none). All JMO.

IA. Georgia was lucky because being 27 she had the pick of a great bunch of guys. Sophie IMO is restricted by her age as from what I've seen so far, there aren't many suitable guys to choose from. However, I will watch with interest once the show starts.
