Why Bachelorette’s Elly and Becky Miles WON’T fall in love with the same man

Osher Günsberg has revealed that Elly and Becky Miles won’t be fighting over the same man on The Bachelorette this year.

The sisters, who will both front the new season of the show in a world first, have such different taste in men that Osher insists that there’s little chance they’ll fall for the same guy.

Appearing on Studio 10 on Wednesday, the 46-year-old said: ‘They’re dating the same group of guys which is really interesting, but it’s not what you think.’

He added: ‘How should I put this? If they came over to my house and we were too bored to cook and we got on the delivery app, they would order different things from the menu.’

He doubled down on the sentiment when pressed by host Sarah Harris about the potential pitfalls of having two sisters dating the same group of men.

‘Like I said, I think they just fundamentally go for such different…’ he said, before going off on a tangent about how he and his siblings all have extremely different partners.

Elly and Becky’s season of The Bachelorette came under fire recently, as fans slammed the decision to cast two white women in a series already lacking ethic diversity.

In an interview on Tuesday, the show’s executive producer Hilary Innes defended having Elly and Becky Miles as the franchise’s first ‘sister Bachelorettes’.

Speaking to B&T, Hilary said: ‘It was more about the strength of the bond with family and friendship that pushed it through for us.’

She added that diversity is the ‘first thing’ producers look for during casting, but said it’s difficult to find a lead because there’s so many boxes that need ticking.

‘We’ve gone through returners, we’ve gone to people with profile, we’ve gone for people who have that “X-factor”. But this year, Elly bringing her sister along was a winning combination,’ Hilary said.

Former Bachelorettes include Sam Frost, Ali Oetjen, Sophie Monk, Georgia Love and Angie Kent – all of whom are white women.

She continued: ‘Looking to the future, it’s definitely something that’s an incredible priority for us to make sure that we do look and try to be representative.’

She added that while The Bachelorette tries to be diverse with its male contestants, producers can only work with the ‘people that apply’.
