‘The Bachelors Australia’: Jess Is Ready to Fight for Love

January 3, 2023

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 twinkling 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 24-year-old Jess from Western Australia.

In a press statement, Jess said that she applied for The Bachelors Australia because “it’s a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to find love”.

Priding herself on being generous, kind, and with a killer sense of humour, you’ll always get the truth from Jess — she’ll tell you how it is without any sugarcoating. That being said, Jess isn’t just dishing out advice for others; she’s equally as invested in improving herself and is unwilling to settle for less than her worth in life.

Jess has never had a boyfriend before but now she’s ready to find and experience loving someone and having them love her back.

“Working away makes dating a little harder, as I don’t get enough time to spend time and really get to know someone,” she said of why she’s still single. “Also, to be completely honest, I don’t feel as if I’ve met my person yet.”

If Jed is the guy for her, she’s ready to fight for him. Her parents have always taught her that when things get tough, you don’t walk away, you fight for the love you know is there.

As for how Jed could win Jess over, she said that her dream date “would be something either on or near the water, filled with lots of good food and banter”.

Will it be love for Jed and Jess? Only time will tell. Until then…

The Bachelors Australia premieres on January 9, only on 10 and 10 Play on Demand.
