Cancel your plans, order some takeout and pour yourself a glass of wine because season four of The Bachelor is *finally* here.
This time around, Richie Strahan will be the lucky fella blessed with the task of dating 22 gorgeous women in a bid to find โthe oneโ.
But it begs the question: who is this Richie Strahan character?
Well, heโs the guy that almost stole Sam Frostโs heart in The Bachelorette last year. (Key word: almost.) Poor Richie made it all the way to the final three only to be pipped at the post by Sasha.
When heโs not busy trying to find love on TV, 31-year-old Richie works as a rope access technician in WA. He took to Instagram to say, โIโm going to miss this place.โ Somehow, we think heโll be just fine in a house with 22 beautiful women.

Let it also be known that he said the phrase โcool bananasโ within the first few minutes of meeting Sam on The Bachelorette.
Richie โcool bananasโ Strahan is also fond of a cheeky shakas.
Keep an eye out for some impressive facial expressions. The new Bachelor does not have a poker face.
