The Bachelors 2023: meet the cast

From its new Gold Coast base, 29 single ladies will compete for the affections of 3 single men on 10.

10’s reworked Bachelor franchise unveils The Bachelors next week, in which 29 single ladies will compete for the affections of 3 single men.

Hosted by Osher Günsberg The Bachelors is made for Network 10 by Warner Bros. International Television Production.

7:30pm Monday – Wednesday on 10.

At its new home on the Gold Coast, The Bachelors Australia continues the journey to find and celebrate love like we’ve come to expect from seasons past. There will be dates, there will be roses, and of course our very own cupid Osher Günsberg. But let’s not forget that it’s 2023. And alongside our handsome, successful, looking for love Bachelors Felix Von Hofe, Jed McIntosh and Thomas Malucelli, the smart, beautiful and sassy women entering the mansion have voices and are encouraged to use them.

And with one huge plot twist, it’s engagement rings at 20 paces. And knees will drop at finale. But who will say yes?

A session drummer for rappers and rock artists like Lenny Kravitz, Jed is driven and extremely passionate about his craft. A true creative, his own band Mood Monroe is the perfect outlet for his emotions and creativity and Jed is living his dream.

Wearing his heart on his sleeve, Jed is always looking to grow as a person. Sensitive and open with his emotions, there is more than meets the eye with this punk rocker. Jed finds purpose with his strong faith in God and feels it gives him solid grounding. When looking for his ideal partner Jed is quick to say that confidence turns him on. Being up on stage means he gets a lot of attention and if a girl doesn’t feel secure in herself, he’s found in the past it can create problems. In his own words,“sometimes the reason people fall in love with you in the first place ends up being the very reason they don’t like you.” An open book, Jed is ready to find his future wife!

  1. I’ve had it up too pussy’s bow with this show already, I taped a few shows to watch on 10 at my leisure and nearly every add break was banging on about this show, (bless the inventor for FF) and what annoyed me most was one of the “batch” (as in hatch, match and dispatch an old term describing marriage) declaring “ I would like you as my woman” or some such nonsense. How creepy and possessive that actually sounds. Women or anyone are not a possession to own, he could have worded that clanger so much better. No definitely not for me, I live reality I don’t need to go there for entertainment.

    1. I had the same thought when I heard that ‘declaration’ on a promo last year; I’m like – are you still stuck in a bygone era? That surely doesn’t fly anymore or not accepted as appropriate. I saw a different promo with the same bachelor with one of the contestants returning a rose to him and he being quite taken aback – perhaps karma?
