The first nine of the Bachelorette's suitors answer some important questions.

The first nine of the 22 suitors who will vye for the affections of TVNZ's Bachelorette Lesina Nakhid-Schuster have been revealed, and they offer a mixed bag of traits with which to woo the 32-year-old surgeon.

There are the party boys, the quirky guys, and the hopeless romantics.

There are a few here we can probably rule out as good matches for our Bachelorette.

25-year-old Terence, for example, sports some excellent Jeff Spicoli-style hair and has a tattoo reading "work hard, play hard" on his bum, which may or may not be your thing, but he's also "technically homeless." Correct me if I'm wrong, but that probably isn't the right line to pull out for a 30+ professional woman.

And Flynn - who comes onto the show by way of winning ZM's Wildcard contest - is super cute, but also a 20-year-old student.

Among the more likely matches, Elliott is looking for "the most amazing girl he's ever met!" - no pressure - and is an amateur magician, if that floats the Bachelorette's boat.

Or is she more of a league fan? That'll make all the difference where Kurt getting a rose is concerned; he has an "impressive collection" of Warriors memorabilia.

There's a lot of confidence on display here. Glenn has "rock-hard abs", Liam "thinks he's hotter than a Hemsworth" (spoiler: he's not) and Steve who's a 35-year-old karaoke lover, quit his job to be on The Bachelorette.

Then you've got your out-and-out romantics. Jonathan was "heartbroken" by his last relationship and just wants "to settle down with the right woman." And Aaron is "in it for love" and actually, without any apparent irony, describes his ideal date as "a walk on the beach, followed by a nice little lunch and then watch the sun go down."

So who will Lesina choose? Aaron the foodie? Flynn the model? Will she go travelling with Glenn, or will she want to join Liam and his friends in a gratitude circle?

You'll have to tune in to TVNZ 2 on Monday, January 27, at 7.30pm to find out.
