Former Raiders player Luke Bateman, on the line to talk before Sunday's debut of The Bachelors Australia, sounds like the sweetest guy around - down to earth, polite, thoughtful. Seriously, why is he still single?
More to the point, why is he looking for love on national TV as one of three bachelors all looking for love, and, yes, competing against each other to find that one special connection in a room full of women? He was sick of the dating apps, sick of not making a connection.
