Sophie Monk announced as Ten’s next star of The Bachelorette
Australian singer, entertainer and actress Sophie Monk has been announced as Ten’s new Bachelorette.
The news comes after Monk spoke on The Weekly’s Hard Chat segment on the ABC earlier this month saying she wished she had come to prominence on a “cooler” TV show – such as The Bachelorette – and noted she is “very single”.
Monk speculated that she could be the first celebrity Bachelorette when speaking to comedian Tom Gleeson on the segment.
You’ve got to be kidding.
Gosh no!

Ratings are going to be the worst ever.
What about follow up comments ? I thought the bachelorette would be an u known not someone familiar to audiences
silly selection on the part of Ten IMO – its not celebrity bachelorette. Ep. 1 will rate, after that it will plummet
The entire premise of both batchelor/ette shows is ‘aw, yea, I’d root them’ (and please note that’s not gender specific).
This is obviously playing to the logical join of root/famous. Gosh, not only a star(lette) but now sixteen ordinary people get a chance to make the best with two backs.
The question is not ‘why this?’ but ‘why did it take so long to get here?’
Sophia has about as much appeal as a wet blanket , and the blokes are a bunch of tools. Channel 10 what have u done!
