The Bachelorette 2017 finale is only a week away, and while weโre still tossing up over which of Sophie Monkโs suitors will score the final rose, contender Jarrod Woodgate would have us believe that itโs clear as day who should win โ him.
Besides, theyโve got nearly everything in commonโฆ
THE MARILYN MONROE CONNECTION
Last week viewers were rocked by claims that Jarrod was a cross dresser, and now the vineyard manager has come clean on the matter.
โI actually found that all quite hilariousโฆ the cross-dressing was about five years ago, maybe a lot longer, when we had a dress-up party. My mates went as the Spice Girls and I dressed up as Marilyn Monroe,โ the 32-year-old tells OK!.
The fact that Sophie started off her career as a Marilyn impersonator at Warner Bros Movie World wasnโt a coincidence lost on the eager contender, either.
โItโs just another thing we have in common. We spoke about it, although I think Sophie pulls off a better Marilyn โ I donโt think Iโd get a job at Movie World,โ he chuckles.
THEY BOTH WANT TO GO TO MEXICO
Before heading off on her recent trip to Thailand, Sophie was determined to hit up Mexico.
A week later, Jarrod was spotted out and about clutching a travel brochure for, you guessed it, Mexico!
Post continues after video
โThe reason that I wanted to go to Mexico was that there was a sound guy on the show that was telling me all about it,โ explains Jarrod.
Heโs still planning on going to the Central American hotspot. Only question is: will Sophie be by his side?
โIโll be going there in December/early Jan,โ he reveals.

There is no doubt in anyoneโs mind that Jarrod has some pretty strong feelings for Soph. But does she think theyโre as well matched as he does?
THE SMOKING BACKFLIP
โI hate cigarettes,โ Jarrod confessed before appearing on The Bachelorette. But recent snaps of the Victorian out and about holding a packet of ciggies suggests he might have changed his mind.
And with Soph a not-so-secret smoker, itโs caused fans to wonder why heโs picked up the habit.
THEY HAVE A SHARED PASSION FOR WINE
Clearly, the fact that Jarrod is a vineyard manager and Sophie is a fan of wine means they are meant to be, right? Jarrod thinks so!
โI would love Sophie to come and live the vineyard life with me โ I think it would be beautiful. She has a passion for wine โ drinking, not making it thoughโฆ it would be perfect.โ
THEYโVE GOT IDENTICAL THOUGHTS ON KIDS
โWeโve decided we want a boy and a girlโฆ but no names, we havenโt come down to that yet,โ tells Jarrod.
Thankfully, there isnโt long to wait until all is revealed!
