Bachelor Australia - Season 10 - Felix - Jed - Thomas - Media SM - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Bobette wrote:"Mechanic"?      

This year’s Bachelor is shaking things up for the format with three single men on the Gold Coast.

But it won’t be the only change.

TV Tonight understands there won’t be the traditional parade of girls stepping out of a limousine onto a red carpet either.

In fact it could be that the women have already met their men have to be invited to the new-look Bachelor pad.

“There’s certainly a mechanic in the early episodes that’s different to what we’ve done before, [as] to how the girls come into the mansion,” said Daniel Monaghan, Senior Vice President, Content and Programming, Paramount ANZ.

“We still have that traditional moment of a cocktail party. It’s just now there are three men and a lot more women in that in that cocktail party.


“There is a ‘mechanic’ initially, in that first episode to get the women in. But in that first episode, they still arrive into the mansion, the new Gold Coast pad.”

Please let the mechanic be a trapdoor that drops the rejects straight into the water

Re: the bold, there's no "could be" about it.  This had already been leaked previously.

The new contestants on The Bachelor reportedly feel duped after being cast on the show but almost immediately sent home before getting a chance to settle in.

The tenth season of the Channel 10 dating show features a twist: the three leading men go on 'blind dates' with a series of women at the start of the season, then choose their favourites who get to enter the mansion.

Previous seasons have started with all the contestants in the mansion, where they get to spend at least a night getting to know the Bachelor.

But this time around, a handful of women made it all the way through the casting process only to have a 'five-minute date in a park' with one of the suitors before being abruptly sent home.

'To really mix things up, Felix, Jed and Thomas all went on a series of blind dates at the start of the season and chose which girls then make it onto the show. They were filming multiple dates a day, before then finally getting to the first cocktail party,' a source told Yahoo Lifestyle.

'A lot of the girls are pretty mad about this and confused. When they were told they'd made it onto The Bachelor, they thought they'd be moving into the mansion and get plenty of airtime.

'But in reality, half of them got a five-minute date in a park before being sent home.'
