For those who think top buttons are superfluous and chiseled abdominals, a deal-breaking necessity, Cleo Magazine have announced their 2011 Bachelor of the Year nominees. It’s an eclectic list of singles this year, some of whom might not even look that amazing with their shirt off. Blasphemy! Spanning the musically inclined (Cameron Laing of Amy Meredith, a solitary Stafford brother), actor types (James Frechevile from Animal Kingdom), radio hosts (Triple J’s Paul Verhoeven and Nova’s Ash Williams) and culinary magicians (Mitchell Orr from Duke Bistro), the list still favours athletes (swimmers, iron men and all four codes save League are represented) and Neighbours and Home & Away alumni. Oh, and slashies. As in Australia’s hottest Tradie 2010 slash Beach Bum model slash Getaway reporter, Matt Wilson. Like a sometime swimwear model and hottest tradie in Australia needs another designation related to how good looking he is.
