Many reality television viewers jaws dropped on Tuesday morning when Channel 10 announced that The Bachelorette Australia will feature two women looking for love on the show this year.

Former Bachelor Australia contestant Elly Miles and her older sister, Becky, will share the journey of handing out roses to strangers in the hope of finding romance.

While its a world first in the dating show franchise to have two sisters star as bachelorettes simultaneously, other countries, such as New Zealand and the US, have already tried the double-bachelorette formula. In the case of NZ, it sparked a race debate.
