As much as we’re obsessed with The Bachelor and Bachelorette, we’ve realised one huge, gaping flaw:
We rarely see our true favourites find love.
And that sucks. Because they’re our favourites and we develop an emotional attachment to these people… as if they’re a distant cousin, or that work colleague who you like but not quite enough to catch up outside work.
… You get what I mean.
So, the women of the Mamamia office decided to fix this dilemma ourselves because we are problem-solving ladies, dammit! We’ve done so by match-making (Bach-making?) our faves from both seasons so they can live happily ever after.
And holy banana, you guys. These matches just make so much sense.
COUPLE ONE: Rhys and Keira
Oh yes oh yes oh yes.
I don't think you could find a better match than modelz Rhys Chilton and Keira Maguire. You just... can't.
I can see their lives together now: there are just so many candid Insta pics to be taken (and in Rhys' case, photoshopped), sassy interviews to be given, and blue carpet events to attend.
Listen: The Bach Chat podcast speaks to Rhys about that infamous Photoshop incident. (Post continues after audio.)
It's a textbook model romance.
Sadly, Rhys is from the Sunshine state, and the glorious Keira is from Sydney... but love knows no bounds, right?
COUPLE TWO: Cameron and Nikki
Okay, before any of you scream "WHAT ABOUT MATTY J" at your screens, hear a gal out. I've got dot points, and I ain't afraid to use 'em.
- Both from WA = tick
- Both incredibly likeable and genuine = tick
- Both ridiculously attractive = tick
- Both Australia's sweethearts = tick
- Did I mention both from WA? Tick tick tick tick tick tick tick bloody tick.
Also, it just so turns out Cam and Nikki spent Thursday night watching The Bachelorette finale together:
