Casting calls for women vying for the heart of New Zealand's second bachelor - a man whose identity is a closely guarded secret - are now open.
Women aged 21 to 35 who are "genuinely looking for love" have been invited to try out for the second season of TV3'sreality dating show, which will air in the first half of next year, MediaWorks said today.
Season one bachelor Art Green had some advice for people thinking about giving the unusual method of finding a partner a go.
"Just relax and be a confident version of yourself. Think carefully, it is a big decision and quite possibly life changing - there is a very real possibility that you will meet someone special," he said.
Green and his partner Matilda Rice, who he gave the final rose to at the end of last season, are reportedly happily together.
The show holds weekly rose ceremonies, at which the Bachelor presents a single red rose to each of the bachelorettes that he would like to get to know better.
Any woman left without a rose packs her bags and leaves The Bachelor New Zealand mansion.
The pitch from the producers: Do you have it in you?
From The Bachelor application form:
The Bachelor New Zealand embarks on the ultimate romantic adventure, following one man's quest to find love, with the woman of his dreams.
Could YOU be that woman?
• You must be single and 21 or older • You can come from anywhere in New Zealand but the mansion will be in/near Auckland • You will be resident in the mansion for a minimum of 3 days and a maximum of 7 weeks and you will not be able to attend your usual place of work during that time • You will receive a small fee for each day you spend in the mansion, to cover your expenses
