On the first episode of The Bachelor NZ season three we met not only Zac and the ladies, but the new host - Dominic Bowden.
People are already naming who they believe will win the show, but Bowden says to expect the unexpected.
"I was watching it with my parents and I was like a viewer. The night was crazy, there was 20 cameras shooting eveyrhting and you just don't know how it's going to cut up," says Bowden.
"There are a lot of girls there that people think are the favourites, but so much happens. If I could tell you stories about what I've seen... Last night was a bit awkward but he is a really good guy and he is looking for 'the one'. Some of the girls there are very focussed on trying to find an angle and get it in there."

Bowden says despite what some people might think, the show is 100 percent real and the choices are all Zac's - not the producers'.
"Everything about this is making it as authentic as possible, because people can smell it and feel [when it's not]," he says.
"There's a couple of times when I'm thinking, '[Zac] she's fantastic, are you really going to let her go?' But he for whatever reason is just not vibing. But he likes all of these girls."
The second episode of The Bachelor NZ season three is broadcast at 7:30pm tonight on Three.
