The press release features some inspiring "words to live by" from each of the contestants, which we just couldn't resist sharing.
Take Hayley - a 25-year-old entrepreneur from Auckland - who says: "Just roll with the punches." We hope she's not referring directly to her quest for love or her approach to fellow contestants.
Another contestant Fiona, encourages people to "live life", while Danielle B (there is also a Danielle L) says, "Don't try to force a door down, if you are patient the right door will open by itself." Expect to see her staring wistfully in the hallway while other contestants head out with the Bachelor.
When asked to describe their ultimate date, several of the ladies opted for generic beach walks and picnics but a couple were much more specific, such as Rosie.
Her dream date involves: "A day walking barefoot through the untouched and dangerously unpredictable highlands of Papua New Guinea, with someone who has the grit of Bear Grylls and the mind of Stephen Hawking.
Apparently, they would "spend hours exchanging passionate fiery dreams of conquering the world - he wouldn't dare poison her sweet synapses with intellectual junk food or predictable small talk".
That's sure is some fancy talk.
For those that aren't as clever as Rosie, a synapse is a junction between two nerve cells, consisting of a minute gap across which impulses pass by diffusion of a neurotransmitter (thank you Oxford dictionary).
So yes, let's hope he doesn't poison those.
