It’s time to take a deep breath and relax and take stock of our lives in the aftermath of The Bachelor, really let The Honey Bachelor gently go into the light, release him from our consciousness and just take a break — I’M KIDDING, this nightmare will never end, we already have to watch The Bachelorette.

So, we’ve got the first episode of The Bachelorette this week, and so far we’ve been released a baffling list of horrifying men who will all compete for her heart. They’re a bizarre sea of dead-eyed beige men in Tarocash suits. But, one will (probably) win, unless Ali continues the Honey Badger trend of rage-quitting right at the end.

So, let’s take all these waxy bros, these limp-mouthed Lotharios, these pee-legged pals and give them an ol’ fashioned Junkee ranking, based on spite and science and whimsy. Presenting, the strengths and many weaknesses of The Bachelorette contestants:

Todd

Age: 26

Job: Sales Rep

Eyes: Blank

Strengths:

Ah, a Todd. *chuckles* I haven’t seen a Todd for many a long year. Your average Todd tends to laugh a few seconds behind everyone else, at just the wrong intensity — either way too loud or quiet, making you feel that he hasn’t quite gotten the joke. There’s a lot of things that a Todd doesn’t quite get, but looking at his face doesn’t give you any context clues. It’s like a freshly painted brick wall — you have to wonder why anyone bothered to paint it in the first place.

Also, he is wearing a suit of armour, a physical replacement for a personality.

Weaknesses:

He probably stopped being a magician when he got into medieval re-enactment.

Damien

Age: 42

Job: Retreat director

Eyes: Direct

Strengths:

Absolutely a kind of regional Tony Robbins style huckster, who starts every sentence with “Hey, look…” while putting his hand on your shoulder.

Weaknesses:

He calls himself an “illusionist” as if that’s better than a normal magician.

Cheyne

Age: 28

Job: Construction Auditor

Eyes: Deeply panicked

Silky hair like a pampered lapdog.
