With a brand new season of The Bachelor kicking off this week, the race is on to find out as much as we can about the stunning women vying for Matt Agnew’s heart.
And already one contestant has made one hell of an impression, the gorgeous blonde Rachael Arahill.
Yep, she was the one who turned up in the wedding dress!
The 25-year-old personal trainer from Sydney has been dubbed the show’s next Keira Maguire, thanks to her unabashed honesty and X-rated appearance in the latest Channel 10 trailer.
It seems Matt and Rachael might have a bit of a personality clash on their hands, with the bold beauty declaring to the camera: “I don’t want to change for anyone at this stage.”

And things get super awkward when Matt crashes her piece-to-camera.
(Credit: Channel 10)Rachael, who grew up in Hornsby, but currently lives in Curl Curl on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, has made no apologies for her rather direct approach, and had this to say when asked if she is this season’s Keira, the famous villain-turned-unlikely-feminist-hero from Richie Strahan’s 2016 season: “Possibly, yeah,” she told The Daily Telegraph.
“I definitely have a lot to say, that’s for sure,” she revealed.
“I will bring brutal honesty, an attitude where I don’t really care that much and I will bring a laugh.”

“I got approached to go on the show, so I thought ‘I am not really doing too much else so I might take up the experience’,” Rachael told The Daily Telegraph.

Will Rachael get along with Matt? Or will they clash?

“I don’t think I am a little hottie, I just think I have a big personality, so I think that’s what lured them in,” Rachael said of her appeal to the show’s producers.
“I say it how it is and call a spade a spade. I think casting agents want people with big and interesting personalities and people looking for love,” she said.
“At the end of the day they have to make a TV show. Especially after last year when the Honey Badger didn’t choose anyone. They need a love story.”
