Well, folks, The Bachelors‘ summer of love is finally here, and this season, things are going to be different.
Past seasons of The Bachelor Australia have featured helicopter dates over Sydney’s picturesque harbours, where our Bachelor would woo his date for the day. Then, they’d head back to the candle-lit mansion dripping in fairy lights for an elaborate Rose Ceremony, where each week, he’d whittle down the women vying for his affection one by one.
This season, all of that is changing.
First, and perhaps most importantly, there are three Bachelors — Jed McIntosh, Felix Von Hofe, and Thomas Malucelli — looking for love this year, and if the promos are anything to go by, at least one of them will pop the question by the end of the series.
Secondly, the show has relocated to Queensland’s sunny Gold Coast. The girls are residing in a waterfront mansion, but there’s not a twinkle light or candle in sight, promising a sleeker, more modern version of The Bachelors than we’ve seen in past seasons.
Finally, the promos show a more dynamic, less linear path to love, for both our Bachelors and the girls in the mansion. As we’ve seen, there are girls who reject our Bachies, and some who may be keen to switch Bachelors along the way.
All in all, it’s set to be an exciting season, and with the first promos introducing the women vying for our Bachelors’ hearts dropping, it’s time to get to know them.
One of the women vying for Jed’s heart on The Bachelors Australia this year is 28-year-old Alésia, from NSW.

A ‘carpe diem’ kinda gal, Alésia loves to seize the moment. She thrives on adrenaline and can often be found embarking on new adventures, be that travelling the world or applying for The Bachelors Australia!
An animal lover, Alésia is vegan and misses her three cats dearly while she’s away from home, and is passionate about speaking up for those who aren’t able to advocate for themselves, be that animal or human.
Alésia prides herself on being honest, and values genuine conversation and connection deeply. In fact, in a press statement, she said that one of her main dealbreakers in a relationship is if she finds someone to be dishonest or not genuine.
When it comes to relationships, Alésia knows what she’s looking for, and said that she would rather remain single than settle for someone who isn’t the right match for her for the sake of having a partner.
Of her previous relationships, she said that she has been in love before, but that it didn’t work out in the end.
“I had a great friendship with my ex partner,” she explained. “We traveled a lot and did many great things together but we just weren’t each other’s person.”
Should sparks fly between her and Jed, Alésia said that she brings “companionship, kindness, fun and support” to her relationships.
Will Jed and Alésia be each other’s person? Only time will tell. Until then…
The Bachelors Australia premieres on January 9, only on 10 and 10 Play on Demand.
