Television producers at network Channel 10 are reportedly under the pump ahead of tomorrow’s season opener of the Honey Bachelor.
The once-great youth entertainment channel, which is home to Australian Bachelor and Bachelorette franchise has been hammering its producers to get everything right for the launch of a new series.
The new series, which will be featuring the former Wallabies star Nick “The Honey Badger” Cummins, is tipped to draw in many new fans when it launches this week.
The cult rugby icon sprung to prominence as a result of his post-match interviews where he would employ various nostalgic Australiana style turns of phrase.
However, in breaking news out of the station’s headquarters the show’s producers are struggling to come up with enough one-liners to fill the series.
Executive Producer Delilah Pendlebury explained to The Advocate that their team has hit a bit of a wall with the one-liners.
“You guys got any funny ocker sayings you use around the newsroom?” she desperately asked.
“We’ve used all the classics like, ‘busier than a one-armed bricklayer in Baghdad,’ ‘noisier than a tree full of galahs,’ ‘few stubbies short of a six pack,’ ‘fair shake of the sauce bottle,’ ‘wouldn’t shout if a shark bit im,’ ‘like a rat up a drain pipe,’ and I tell you we are a bit of a loose end,” Pendlebury said.
The Producer explained that the man now dubbed the ‘Honey Bachelor’ has his fair share of one-liners but not enough to fill a whole series.
“There is not that much on google either. We are at the point where we are just going to have to start sending people down to pubs after work to try and gather some phrases.”
“At this point it’s very important that we avoid any racist proverbs, though
More to come.
