Australia has a new Bachelor, or err Badgelor, in rugby player Nick ‘The Honey Badger’ Cummins and reactions couldn’t be more divided.

For some, especially non-sports fans, they don’t even know who the bloody hell he even is, while others have been loyal fans of the true blue, one-liner machine for yonks.

He is certainly a bachy whose appearance is vastly different from the hunky meat men we’ve seen before, in Matty J or Richie.

The choice of another well-known identity to front a Bachelor season, following Sophie Monk’s sensational season of The Bachelorette, is a controversial one.

Possibly marking the end to regular randoms getting a chance to hand out flowers to attractive strangers, preferencing people that audiences already know and have strong opinions towards.

Is it always going to be a famous face from now on? Who knows. But the choice has people going through a range of emotions.

Reactions to The Badgelor are firmly either in the ‘love’ or ‘hate’ camp:

Most Aussies are keen as a bean for it.

But a few were not convinced with the selection AT ALL.

We will have to wait and see what Nick brings to the table, but we can expect a bachy season different from anything that has come before.
