She added, 

"I’m so excited and hope that I finally find that person I’ve been waiting for."

However, Brooke also shared her opinion on whether Australia was ready for a mixed-gender contestant panel. 

Fans Are Doubtful About The Show

After a mediocre series, her bisexuality will undoubtedly shake things up while fans are not entirely convinced with the show. 

Soon after the news was announced, people took on social media, sharing that they were expecting a fresh, new face, but not someone who already had a run on the show before. 

Fans said, 

"How boring! Please use new people who we haven't seen before. We already know her story. No offence to Brooke herself but it's not very entertaining or exciting as we have seen her before."

"Wow again... such a pretty show she doesn't need this show."

"I hope she finds love but this is clearly a ratings plan... male and female combined entrants."

However, keeping the doubtful remarks aside, Brooke and the show also received positive reviews, and some claimed it would be an excellent shake-up to see. 

"OMG how exciting this should be a mix of male and female because she is bi."

"I've been waiting for this."

In support, the Bachelorette Australia host, Osher Günsberg said, 

“We are a nation of people from so many different backgrounds, so many different cultures and so many different experiences, yet we all have one thing in common – we all want to be loved in a way that is meaningful to us. I can’t wait to get started on helping our Bachelorette Brooke find that kind of love.” 

Casting for The Bachelorette Australia is still open and can be accessed via the official website of The Bachelor.
