Fans have noticed this year’s The Bachelor contestants have one thing in common – besides the fact that they’re all single.

Network Ten has revealed the 22 women who will be competing for Bachelor Matty J’s heart – and at face value, they are lacking in diversity in appearance.

The Bachelorettes have been criticised for all being “slim” and “white” in complexion; not so reflective of Australia’s multicultural society of women of various shapes and sizes.

Matty J, 30, will be spoiled for choice when it comes to the occupations of his prospective girlfriends, including a criminal lawyer, police officer, model and a nanny.

Their ages range between 23 and 34 years old.
