The Bachelorette New Zealand premiered last night with a smart, beautiful, accomplished, articulate and well rounded Bachelorette and a bunch of wannabe suitors who fans say frankly, had no business being there.

NZ's first Bachelorette, Dr Lesina Nakhid-Schuster is one hell of a human being - she even skipped the premiere of her reality TV show to jet to Australia and volunteer her services to the bushfire relief effort.

So it's little surprise fans are rallying against the suitors the show brought in to win her heart, who were summed up by one tweet which reads: "You got your... breakdancing cringefest, an Aussie, tatts galore, an ex-stripper, an annoying self-righteous twat and runny noses all round."

Many other fans have also taken to Twitter to point out the glaring issue with the show, wondering how the good doctor is supposed to choose a winner with many saying host and former Bachelor Art Green looks more likely to win than any of the actual contestants.

One fan wrote: "She's a professional in her 30s, it's vaguely insulting that they're setting her up with these unaccomplished foetuses."

Comedian Melanie Bracewell tweeted: "It is truly unfair for Lesina that Art Green is way hotter than any of the contestants."

Others simply suggested Lesina "run", or just send everyone home and "start over".

So kiwi rn you got your gusty breeze, breakdancing cringefest, an Aussie, tatts galore, an ex stripper, an annoying self righteous twat and runny noses all round. I'm picking Art for the win #bachelorettenz

She’s a professional in her 30s, it’s vaguely insulting that they’re setting her up with these unaccomplished foetuses #thebachelorettenz

We're only one episode in so there's plenty of time for the guys to win over Lesina, but judging by early reactions, they're going to have a hard time winning over the fans.

The Bachelorette airs on TVNZ 2, Monday to Wednesday at 7.30pm, and Sundays at 7pm.
