He might have nailed the trapeze challenge on Wednesday’s episode of The Bachelorette, but contestant Rhys Chilton hasn’t quite nailed the criteria for winning Georgia Love’s heart. Firstly, you have to be legally single.

Turns out the 29-year-old model/entrepreneur everyone loves to hate is actually still married, putting a small (read: massive) spanner in the works for any potential romance with our astute heroine.

In case it couldn’t get worse, Rhys’ estranged wife Kelsi, who is living in the US, told OK! Magazine Rhys does not deserve Georgia’s affection. In fact, it sounds like what he deserves is a time out.

“He only cares about himself … and should not be dating that beautiful girl Georgia,” Kelsi told OK! Magazine.

While Rhys told the magazine he’d let Georgia know about his past, Kelsi said the couple only formalised their separation earlier this year and she had “no clue” he was going to appear on The Bachelorette.

Well, if she didn’t know before, Kelsi must have figured it out by now given her ex-hubby is still in the running for Georgia’s heart on the Channel Ten dating series.

He and the other blokes spent the better part of Wednesday night’s episode flinging themselves around on a trapeze for Georgia’s affections.

Because, of course, before Georgia was a successful television news anchor she was a trapeze instructor. Cue Olivia Newton-John’s Let’s Get Physical.

Most of the guys nailed it, except for model/electrician/back-up Sam who is so obnoxious it’s almost becoming charming.

“I definitely think Georgia likes me,” he said at the rose ceremony. “We have fun together and have a really good connection. I definitely wanna be in a relationship or whatever it is with her.”

Deep down, aren’t we all looking for a relationship or whatever it is?

It really doesn’t matter what Sam wants, or what anyone else wants for that matter, because plumber Lee clearly has this in the bag.

He scored the single date, and boy did he make a good impression on Georgia and the rest of the Australian population – no matter their romantic inclination.

The man can do 20 push-ups without even getting puffed, he looks like he’s wandered out of an Abercrombie & Fitch ad and he loves a good dad joke nearly as much as Georgia.

“It’s like speaking into a mirror but a really good mirror,” Georgia told the cameras.

One man who’s not willing to give up this fight just yet is the amiable Clancy, whose name is so Australian it has us wanting to throw on an Akubra and a Japara and ride on over to the Overflow.

Clancy could have used a Japara actually, given he made the daring decision to jump into the pool fully clothed when Courtney said it would get him a spot on a group date.

It might have seemed like a good idea at the time – that was until Clancy had to rock up to the very formal, very serious rose ceremony in a bathrobe.

Even though he “felt like an idiot” in his luscious-looking loungewear, Clancy survived another week while two men most viewers wouldn’t recognise if they stood up in their breakfast were given the boot. Cut to Clancy considering making the bathrobe a weekly thing.

“Clancy shaved his beard, Clancy jumped in the pool, is he getting desperate?” Courtney asked.

You can pretty much assume everyone on this show is getting desperate, Court. That’s sort of the point.
