For the second consecutive season, there are three Bachelors: Ben Waddell, a 36-year-old international model and environmentalist from Melbourne, Victoria; Luke Bateman, a 28-year-old lumberjack and former NRL player from Toowoomba, Queensland; and Wesley Senna Cortes, a 33-year-old theology student and marketing & sales manager from Brazil, living in Sydney, New South Wales.
