Brooke, a youth worker with a passion for football, has become a firm favourite after arriving at the Bachelor mansion with two footballs in her hands.

She also scored the coveted ‘Key’ to Nick’s Bachie pad.

According to her Bachelor profile, the Indigenous stunner, 33, wants a man who is into sport as much as her. 

‘I would love to be with someone who has passion and drive to do amazing things but also has empathy and compassion for others,’ her bio reads.

‘To have confidence but not be over confident. They would have to love sport as much as me too.’

Brittany, 30, meanwhile, is tipped by Sportsbet to win the show. 

The radiographer from Port Macquarie says she’s looking to find love and start a family with an adventurous partner who wants to travel the world.

When asked on her profile where she sees herself in ten years, she says: ‘With a family, living a happy life by the beach somewhere. I’d like to have seen 100 countries by then. I’m half way.’

Meanwhile, it was revealed during Wednesday night’s premiere that student Cassandra, 23, already knew Nick from outside the dating franchise.

Once she got over her surprise at seeing who was this year’s Bachelor, she hinted that ‘something romantic’ had happened between the pair.

‘I actually know him!’ she confessed. ‘Nick and I have socialised in the past together.’ 

After the first cocktail party, however, the Home and Away extra was ridiculed by fans for ‘stalking’ Nick and appearing too keen.

Throughout the soirée, she maintained an intense and focused gaze on her crush as he floated around and chatted with the other ladies.

When she finally secured a private conversation with Nick, she tried to gather up the courage to kiss him but was too shy.

However, despite fans branding her a ‘stalker’ and ‘stage five clinger’ after the debut episode, it appears her family may have accidentally revealed the final result.

Since filming began in March, Cassandra has completely abandoned her Instagram profile to avoid giving away any spoilers.

In these five months, only two posts have appeared on her account: a pair of approved promotional pictures from Network Ten plugging the show.

Her siblings’ accounts, however, haven’t been quite so carefully monitored and the Wood family may have revealed a surprising spoiler.

After filming wrapped around May, Cassandra’s sister Sammy started following Nick on Instagram – hinting they could have become acquainted in real life.

He brother Nick has also reached out to his sister’s potential new boyfriend by following his profile too.

Sammy recently showed her support for her sister’s appearance on the The Bachelor, writing on Instagram: ‘Go sis!’

Meanwhile property valuer Sophie, 25, is also said to be among the final four. 

On her bio, she says she wants to find true love on the show.

Describing her ideal date, she reveals a picnic in a romantic place would be perfect.

‘It would involve being whisked away to a new destination, seaside, with a picnic (red wine, cheese and chocolate are a must).’

However, her hopes almost got dashed on Wednesday night, when fellow contestant Cat claimed she has been seeing her ex-boyfriend recently.

A catfight ensued between the pair, as Cat deliberately set out to call out Sophie publicly in front of Nick.

‘The intentions weren’t nice,’ Sophie exclaimed after the angry altercation – with Cat later calling Sophie a ‘basic bi**h’ behind her back.

Meanwhile, during Sophie’s one-on-one with Nick, she told him: ‘I’m super-stoked that you are really Australian and you seem really down-to-earth and kind, and that’s all I’ve got from you so far.’

‘She could be an outside runner,’ Nick told the producers of Sophie.
