Looking for love? Interested in being on reality TV? Well, you’re in luck because The Bachelor Canada is looking for you.
The W Network — you know, that television channel that’s home to all things Hallmark-approved and love-related — is inviting single women to put down their favourite dating app and, “take a chance on IRL love,” according to a news release. (That’s In Real Life love, for those who didn’t get that slang.)
And while there’s no word yet on who the lucky Bachelor star will be — we’re guessing it will be nice-guy Mike Ogilvie of Winnipeg from Jasmine Lorimer’s season (you know, the guy with the killer abs who was third runner-up? Ya, THAT guy!) — the odds are he will be a marginally better catch than the guys you’ve been swiping on Tinder.
The cross-Canada “talent” search kicks off Feb. 1 in Winnipeg and ends with a two-day stint in Toronto on Feb. 11-12. Vancouverites can vie for a coveted spot on the reality TV show Feb. 5 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at The Westin Bayshore hotel.
Bachelorette hopefuls must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of legal age. Be sure to bring valid ID, your best one-liners — and a killer outfit (not black, white or printed, though because you can bet there will be screen tests).
Can’t make the in-person interview? Never fear, you still have a chance at nationally televised love. Online applications for hopeful bachelorettes can be submitted online — with a headshot and brief introduction video, of course — at wnetwork.com.
