Alana is a self-described independent woman who is happily single and hoping the handsome bachelor might change that. She has a simple list of criteria she uses to see if a person is right for her: the three h's. So if she thinks Moses has humour, honesty, and height, true love could bloom.
Her ideal man is someone who has good communication skills and is someone she can be best friends with.

Annelise isn't afraid to admit she wants a fairytale ending. Will Moses be the Prince Charming who will sweep her off her feet?
Calling Wanaka home, Annelise has had a well-travelled life thanks to her dad's work. She has lived in Switzerland, France, and Canada in addition to stints in Christchurch, Rotorua, and Wellington. She attributes her jet-setting life to why she hasn't been lucky in love yet.
She considers herself an "adrenaline junkie" but also has a softer side, and enjoys making breakfast in bed for guys she dates and likes leaving cute notes for them around the house.
