Brooke Blurton: first ever Indigenous, bisexual 'Bachelorette'

Brooke Blurton has just been announced as the first ever mixed gender 'bachelorette' on TV show: 'The Bachelorette' Australia.

The West Australian is a Carnarvon-born Yamatji-Noongar woman, and has been cast as the first openly bisexual star on the popular reality TV show.

So yes, that means Blurton will have both men and women competing for her love and affection,  signalling the first time The Bachelor or men has had a mixed gender cast.

'The Bachelorette' show host Osher Günsberg said in a statement that the upcoming season highlights the diversity and common interests of Australia.

"We are a nation of people from so many different backgrounds, so many different cultures and so many different experiences, yet we all have one thing in common – we all want to be loved in a way that is meaningful to us," he said.

Brooke herself said: “Times are more progressive and sexuality and gender expression are just so fluid these days,” she told News Corp Australia.

Brooke burst onto the scene in Nick Cummins’ season (yep, The Honey Badger... he who did not pick ANYONE at the end of his show tenure, much to the dismay of, well, most of Australia) of 'The Bachelor' Australia, then left the mansion on her own terms towards the end of the show.

Brooke had indeed let Nick know she had previously been in two relationships with women.

Brooke also appeared on 'Bachelor in Paradise'.

Equally exciting for the show is that Brooke is of Aboriginal background - finally! More beautiful Indigenous women on our screens. Much more of this please TV programmers!

Says Brooke, a youth worker: "I've done it twice before and now, having the opportunity to choose my person and who I want in my life, is a truly unique and special experience," she said.

"I'm so excited and hope that I finally find that person I've been waiting for."

Bring it on!

No screen date set yet, as the show will go into production shortly.

'The Bachelorette': Meet The Men, 2018 for Ali Oetjen: VIDEOS

Ali Oetjen met all her suitors tonight and it was... an interesting mix!

As Australia's next 'Bachelorette', after vying for the heart of Tim Robards five years ago when HE was 'The Bachelor' (he ultimately chose Anna Heinrich, and they married earlier this year), and more recently her stint on 'Bachelor in Paradise' (where that ended badly - with her match Grant Kemp traveling with Ali from that Fiji set to the US, his home country and that shot to shit - Google it), it's now her third (TV) attempt to find love.

And so, here at the guys trying to win her heart, and her roses 🌹 - or at least some cool gigs as models.

Missed the show? Here are some of the good / controversial bits, starting with the obligatory season round up... THAT LAST BIT, WHAT!?

Sophie Monk: INTERVIEW 'The Bachelorette' Trailer

Oh, Sophie Monk. How did you manage to make Josie's Juice shed a tear?

Sophie has appeared in her first full length TV ad for 'The Bachelorette', speaking about her dating past, why she's found it so difficult to find the right man, why she has attracted "the wrong guys", and what she wants: "a good man", and "a good father", and "just someone that loves me". She becomes emotional, and dammit, this now means we are even more hooked before the show has even begun. We thought it might be scripted madness, but nope. It's legit, you guys. We may just love Sophie even more now...

“Living in LA for 10 years, I’ve dated actors and rock stars. I think they’ve fallen in love with my image, not with me," says Sophie in the clip.

“Because I’ve played roles that are quite sexy and promiscuous, people think I’m like that. That’s probably why I ­attract the wrong guys too,” she added.

Sophie's ex-boyfriends ­have included an engagement to Good Charlotte’s Benji Madden (he went on to marry actress Cameron Diaz), as well as Jason Statham, Ryan Seacrest, Kevin Connolly and Sam Worthington. 

“I am so awkward, the worst flirt you’ve ever met, I get ­really nervous and it’s just ­embarrassing when I’m on a date,” she adds. “I’m so lucky to do what I do, but the one thing you do sacrifice is a really healthy, good relationship - that’s one thing I regret.

Previous Aussie Bachelorette's have been: Georgia Love and Sam Frost.

Here is what Georgia Love - last year's The Bachelorette - says about life after the show, on the Logies red carpet:



Sophie is no stranger to taking the piss out of herself... and lining others up to do the same. See clip below, with her recent interview with Tom Gleeson on 'The Weekly' TV show:

One thing is for sure... she will make for INTERESTING TV. We say, bring it!

Rove and Sam: Joel McHale VIDEO on 2DayFM debut

Sooo.

How did Sam Frost and Rove McManus go in their radio debut together on 2Day FM this morning, for the Rove and Sam breakfast show?

Well, for starters: one of their first guests was the one and only Joel McHale (from 'The Soup', you guys... only the funniest reality TV pisstake, screening in Australia on Foxtel).

Joel is in town for a one night only show (forget about it... it's sold out, of course).

And the dialogue was kinda perfect - all the makings of a viral video clip.

Asks Joel: "How many guys did you fuck?"

Replies Sam (who looks to have had some lessons from the fab Rove on the super quick quip): "14. All of them."

Says Joel: "Dear Lord!"

The best part? Joel finding out mid interview Sam was our first 'Bachelorette'.

Gold.

Sam Frost And Rove McManus On 2DayFM Radio

In BIG reality TV/news that has been making headlines today, Sam Frost from 'The Bachelorette' will now be joining Rove McManus.

After Rove recently announced his return to radio, on Sydney's 2DayFM, it was announced today - by the radio station's site Scoopla.

They said on their site:

It’s true! Yep, our favourite Bachelorette queen, Sam Frost is set to join Rove McManus on Sydney’s 2DayFM.

From finding love on The Bachelorette (we love you Sash!) to joining the Sydney radio family, Sam Frost revealed she is “so excited” for the pair to debut their brand new show, Rove & Sam, from 6am Monday 9th November.

Speaking about Rove, Sam said, “He already makes me laugh so much, and is probably the only man, other than Sash, that I’m willing to get out of bed at 4am for."

Three-time Gold Logie Winner and all-round Aussie legend Rove McManus is more than excited to welcome Frosty as his co-host, telling us, "The first time I met Sam, she laughed one of her trademark snorts and knew everything was going to be ok."

“She also managed to put up with my hounding about who won The Bachelorette, and still didn’t tell me, despite how much we were hanging out. I’ve very pleased that she has accepted my radio rose.”

Stay tuned to the 2DayFM Facebook page for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the show, and don’t forget to follow them on Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat - @RoveAndSam.

Here is Michael's profile, below:

Michael

Age: 34
Occupation: Professional Football Player
State: QLD

After playing for top football clubs across Europe, this sporty Bachelor returned to Australia to play in the national A-League. Motivated Michael spends the off-season focusing on his property and technology business interests. With his parents recently celebrating their 42nd wedding anniversary, Michael is hoping to follow in their footsteps and score the ultimate goal: finding long-lasting love.

What made you want to be part of The Bachelorette Australia?
I thought it would be a great experience to find love.

How would you describe your perfect woman?
Someone with really good family values, likes the simple things in life, isn’t arrogant and is like talking to your best friend. 

How are you going to stand out from the other Bachelors? 
I’ll just be myself. Last I checked, there is only one of me on the planet. 

What are your thoughts on blind dates? 
I take them like a grain of salt. If someone sets one up, I’ll happily go on it, but I don’t go in expecting to meet the love of my life, hence I’m still single. 

Are you a romantic? 
Yes. The most romantic thing I’ve ever done is surprised my girlfriend at the time with a little puppy and a little red ribbon at work, then laid rose petals at home and cooked her a dinner when she was doing it pretty tough. 

Describe your dream date.
Apart from taking a private jet to Paris for a weekend, I would say an evening boat ferry ride down the Brisbane River with some drinks and then stopping at one of my favourite restaurants. Some great food and wine then maybe some dessert and some post-dinner drinks with good music.
