On Wednesday night, Ten's new season of The Bachelor debuted. They say there's nothing more important than a first impression, and so Ten's executives will have been holding their breath to see how the new face of love was received by the viewing public.
Luckily, Australia loves the new Bache, and have immediately forgotten the old (evil) Bache. Long live new Bache.
The new Bache’s name is Sam, but he prefers Woody. Like the Toy Story character.
Australia loves his low, low shirt showing off his enormous chest (and almost his nipples).
Sam has an abnormally ginormous mouth just fyi #TheBachelorAU— Nat (@kahlarsee) July 29, 2015
Also they love his dog:
Sam + cute lab = I think I just got PREGNANT #thebachelorAU— Osher Günsberg (@oshergunsberg) July 29, 2015
Now, to meet the women who will fight it out to the death for his love.
Our first contestant is... well, Sam/Woody is not sure of her name, and neither are the viewers.
Say what ? Szajana?? Svagina? PARMIGIANA! #TheBachelorAU— Ian Williams (@Dropbear67)

Also she's not white so Bache makes sure to call her "exotic".
Her actual name is Snezana, which I know because I looked it up. Here she is.
Our next contestant is quickly christened "Anal glands", after she tells Bache about... well, we're not really sure what that was all about. But anyway, Sam/Woody does not seem keen. Neither do the viewers:

Next up is Heather, who does not talk about anal glands. Woody and Australia instantly warm to her relative normalcy.
Heather is my favourite, easy!! #TheBachelorAU— Sam Frost (@Sam_Frost)

Anyway, she's keen to call Bache "dude" and be his "mate", which puts her in the camp of not understanding the point of this show. Although I guess it's good that she did not say she loved him straight away. Keepin' her cool.
Here's a picture of beautiful Heather.
Next up we have Jacinda, who takes a photo of her man's front and also his rear for her fridge, just to remind everyone that this show is essentially a dating meat market. Australia loves her.
#TheBachelorau Jacinta is trying to flog the Sam butt pic to the other ladies. She's a good little earner.— Gidgit VonLaRue (@GidgitVonLaRue)

Poor Jacinda, her name is misspelt. Here's her photo anyway.
Should also mention this is the best tweet of the night:
This #TheBachelorAU is average. We need Australia's bachelor: Shane Keith Warne. "Will you accept this dart?" "I will." "Cheers love."— Conor Ryan (@conorVryan)

After an ad break, we meet Madeline, who is *on point* beautiful, and gives Bache some food which he puts in his mouth.
Omg dis cup cake girl yes #TheBachelorAU— CHELSEA (@princessyesthx)

Here is a beautiful photo of her which to be honest does not do her justice.
Sandra is a PE Teacher, which means she teaches kids how to run or some nonsense. She gives Bache a big fist bump and then is straight into the cham-pag-ne.
Is Sandra already drunk? #TheBachelorAU— Melissa (@holybatgirl)

Here is Sandra.
Emily, who is very beautiful, gets lovely romantic music as she meets the Bache. She tells the Bache he's very handsome, they hold hands. Woody already feels "an immediate connection". It's all a bit too set-up for Australia's discerning viewers, however.
Who honestly wears white on a first date? Like come on #TheBachelorAU— Regan Adam (@RMCdigi)

Although yeah judging by the music Ten cut in behind her she's pretty much already got this one sewn up.
Ok we may have found a winner, lucky last #TheBachelorAU— melbny (@50thand8th)

Here is beautiful Emily.
And now, wrap your minds around this, reader. This year there are two varieties of rose - red, and a new one, white. Win it, and you get to ask Bache for a date at 'any time'.
So, Emily and Madeline are our early favourites. But who knows who the Bache and the viewing public will slowly grow to love/hate.
