Nick ‘Honey Badger’ Cummins’ season of The Bachelor to premiere on 15 August with four new sponsors
UPDATE 7:05pm: Ten has now retracted its claim that Duromine is a sponsor of season six of The Bachelor.
The sixth season of The Bachelor will begin on Ten on Wednesday 15 August.
Hyundai will return as a sponsor of the program, while Ten has said first-time sponsors Tresemmé, Tradie, Blistex, Aspen S26 and Duromine have also come on board.
Hyundai’s partnership with The Bachelor will include Konas being used throughout the season. In addition, the program will run a competition in which a viewer can win a car, delivered by host Osher Gunsberg.
Mumbrella, can you please clarify who Duramine is? Is this a typo? Is it supposed to be Duromine?
Hi Ummmm?,
Good question.
All the information we have from Ten says Duramine (with an ‘a’, as is reflected in our story), but you are likely correct that they meant Duromine.
I will chase and confirm.
Thanks,
Vivienne – Mumbrella
Daniel Ricciardo is the original and best Honey Badger. Not sure who this IMPOSTER is.
Maybe the Bachelor was also a typographical error … for something like The Honky Bludger.
Why is a prescription only weight loss drug a sponsor?
Duramine as in Duromine the prescription weight loss pill? WTAF is going on? This is unacceptable sponsorship. Who approved this? Did anyone practice any due diligence and look into what this drug actually is? Restlessness, insomnia, agitation, increased heart rate, headaches, increased blood pressure, dry mouth,
vomiting and death. We already have a problem managing the unrealistic expectations of women’s bodies, now commercial television is actively encouraging weight loss pills? This is disgraceful.
Notwithstanding a discussion on the choice of channel by the producer of the product , it’s worth noting that this isn’t a product that viewers can walk into their pharmacy and pick up. It still needs to be prescribed and it’s not something that a GP is likely to do lightly, if you’ll forgive the pun. The guidelines are very much for people who are obese – so to say it’s a message around women’s bodies is inaccurate – and I’d be confident the creative reflects that.
I’d be confident you can [Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy]
Ho Hum…..not interested in these shows anymore ? to much staging for my liking?
I wonder if anyone at the hair care product Tresemme has heard of the expression “bald ad a badger”.
Have watched the uk version and now the aussie. Half hour not long enough, no interaction with contestants, little more banter would make more entertaining. Haven’t really enjoyed it much..
