Who would be the Golden Bachelorette in Australia?\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to well-placed insiders, several of the women from the hit series have fallen out over early discussions about who should front the highly anticipated Golden Bachelorette spin off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While nothing has been locked in, Sonny, Bianca Dye and Abbie Chatfield\u2019s mum, Laura, have all been floated by producers, and the conversations among the ladies have reportedly been tense.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt started out as a bit of fun. Everyone was joking about who would Channel Nine pick but then things got competitive,\u201d one insider tells Woman\u2019s Day. \u201cNow there\u2019s a bit of tension. Everyone wants to be seen as the fan favourite.\u201d<\/p>\n
The source says Bianca, who charmed viewers with her sense of humour and heart, has quietly made it known she\u2019d love to hand out the roses herself, believing she\u2019d bring warmth and wit to the franchise.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Sonny has reportedly gained traction with executives thanks to her authenticity and no-nonsense attitude on set. \u201cSonny was cast as a stage five clinger but Australia has fallen in love with her.\u201d Confirms a Golden Bachelor source.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cProducers love Sonny\u2019s energy,\u201d the insider continues. \u201cShe\u2019s funny, she\u2019s real and she\u2019s exactly the kind of woman viewers root for.\u201d<\/p>\n

But perhaps the most surprising name still in the mix is Abbie Chatfield\u2019s mum, Laura. Who was barely seen in the current series but did make an impact during filming. Her larger than life presence was edited down to a brief cameo and some think that was due to bigger plans in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLaura\u2019s connection to Abbie has given her a profile the network can\u2019t ignore,\u201d the source adds. \u201cShe\u2019s confident, outspoken and unfiltered. Which is exactly what The Golden Bachelorette would need to stand out.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, some of the women have reportedly grown wary of how the casting buzz is being handled.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere have been whispers that certain people are calling in favours and trying to position themselves as the front-runner,\u201d says another insider. \u201cIt\u2019s created a bit of friction in what was a really tight group.\u201d<\/p>\n
While no official announcement has been made, Woman\u2019s Day understands that producers are eager to lock in their leading lady before Christmas. With a source revealing the network wants to film The Golden Bachelorette sooner rather than later.\u00a0<\/p>\n
