Bachelor Australia - Season 11 - Wesley - Luke - Ben - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

@ariwolf Luke was born 23 January 1995 making him 28.

Wesley appears to be around 29, according to this IMDB actor's bio he wrote himself:

Ben is the oldest, probably around 36 I reckon.  His birth year is claimed to be "around 1986" here:



and this article from a couple of years ago says he & Zac Efron are both in their "early 30s" (Zac is now 35)

They need to do a 2 Bach season in the USA. I am sure the women would be even more stressed

So what do you all think about the 3 guys selected??

@chasus71 What I think is Warners apparently had very few applicants to choose from

Ben and Wesley both appear to be fame-seekers IMO who have failed to gain popularity or traction in other arenas so thought they'd give reality TV a crack.  

There was a rumour Bach casting had stolen a "villain" from MAFS, who also wanted to sign the guy up.  I would guess Ben since he seems the most trashy.

I'm not a fan of sporty dudes in general but Luke is probably our best chance of seeing anything genuine.  Used to date a jockey.  Seems relatively "normal".

@Bobette Thanks for the info.

Very interesting I see. I wonder why they wanted 3 leads when they had a hard time getting the interest. Time will tell how they do but Im sure it is just for exposure or to stay relevant.

I guess they have one lead who is mid-30's I see, very interesting almost like the US version of Ari maybe?

Boring, boring, boring
Will be as trash and silly and shallow as the last 'BachelorS' season
3 leads just does not work

Ch 10 are so out of touch

All good looking guys imho until I read all the scoop on them. I cannot believe they went with three again. Are they shooting for 0/6??

Maybe they are trying to get it over with fast so they dont have to worry about 6 addtional solo seasons Might as well clump it together just in case

@GuardianAngel @chasus71 Australian TV channels have to broadcast a minimum of 55% local content.  Ch 10 had a number of new shows they tried out last year that bombed and didn't get renewed so the decision to bring Bach back from the dead was purely to meet the quota IMO.  

The casting seems to have been low effort and shooting in Melbourne would be cheaper than QLD too.  It feels like even TPTB are bored with the show and are only making it because it's easy and they have literally nothing else. Ch 10 has been flailing and treading water for a while now.

Yes I would love that

Oh they've already done it? Wow well let's see if it works this time!
