As host of Channel Nine's new reality matchmaking show, Natalie Gruzlewski talks to news.com.au about the trip of a lifetime, joining a bus full of single women searching for their perfect man.

CHANNEL Nine's latest dating show When Love Comes To Town kicked off tonight, combining twelve city girls, two county boys, and one rather intimidating big black bus.
The premise is simple: these city girls traverse the country, stopping in regional areas to meet eligible bachelors. If the chemistry's right, they can choose to stay on and pursue a relationship. Otherwise, it's back on the bus and on to the next far-flung locale.
First stop on their countrywide quest for love: Margaret River, south of Perth.
As the bus pulls into town, the girls are just about frothing at the mouth at the prospect of meeting their first two men. These ladies are THIRSTY.

As they step off the bus, the girls are welcomed by the Margaret River locals, including a group of cheering primary school students. Which teacher organised that field trip?
"OK grade twos, pick a buddy and stick together. We're off to find out if Sydney PR maven Renee can put aside the scars of previous relationships and find love once more! Pay attention — there will be a test."
Margaret River's best bachelors are Adam and Moshe. Babes, the both of them.

Adam is a 29-year-old carpenter/surfer, which means we're treated to various shots of him lifting heavy things while wearing a singlet. He dearly loves his widowed mother, and he's bought a block of land to build his dream home — he just needs a good woman to live in it. You're already a quivering puddle on the floor, aren't you?

Moshe is a 26-year-old baby-faced lawyer. He's a sweetheart, but when it comes time for the women to choose who they'd like to get to know, it seems most are transfixed by Adam's guns — he scores seven girls to Moshe's five.
"I didn't think I'd get a guernsey at all," Adam says, which seems like false modesty to us. Adam, a dozen women have been bussed into town specifically to woo you: if you can't get a date, something has gone very wrong.
After the girls have made their selections, host Nat Gruzlewski wishes them well: "Ladies and gents, good luck — let's hope lightening strikes!" We trust she's speaking figuratively, otherwise this could be a very short show.
Adam's activity for his bevy of seven? A trip to his house to build a chook shed. The girls aren't exactly thrilled with this prospect ... until their suitor takes off his shirt to bring out the big guns. The girls all squeal, which, to be fair, does seem an entirely appropriate reaction. Adam acts all bashful once more. 'Oh, these old things? I completely forgot I had arms ...'
BREAKING: Man Has Arms. WOOOOOOOO! Source: Channel 9
Moshe takes his fivesome to the town fair, where contestant Jess takes an unusual tactic to show her affection: ramming him repeatedly on the dodgem cars. Smooth move, Jess — nothing puts simple country blokes in the mood like violent emasculation.
Back at the chook shed, Kelly knows how to play the game.
"All this work's made me thirsty. Do you reckon you could take me inside and get me a drink?' she asks Adam in front of the other women, who shoot her daggers.
Inside, their one-on-one time is a bit awkward. Kelly tells him about her time spent living in the Bahamas, except she pronounces it 'Bah-hummus'. Then she asks him if he wants kids.
Kelly: "So, do you want children?" Adam: "Shhh. Look into my arms." Source: Channel 9
"They're... growin' on me. All my mates have 'em, and other family have 'em..." is his response, which suggests he's as enthusiastic about having children as he would be about having intestinal worms.
"Kelly's awesome ... but she's specific in what she wants and it seems like she won't be messed around," says Adam. Yeah, self-esteem is a real turn-off.
Back at the fair, Moshe takes car hire co-ordinator Jess 'round the back paddock (note: not a metaphor) and she confesses that she's looking for her 'magic man'. He chuckles nervously, unsure if this means she's expecting a card trick.
Over at his house, Adam invites JJ to sit on his tractor (note: not a metaphor) and issues her with this charming ultimatum:
"Obviously I've got to pick two girls. I don't want you to sell yourself to me, but ... give me a reason why I should pick you." He's lucky he's got dem arms.
At the fair, Moshe takes Renee and Mindy for a walk through the parlour games, and wins a 'super banana' stuffed toy for them — presumably just so he can utter the following words: 'Do you girls wanna share my super banana?'

Group dates over and done with, chook shed built, it's time for the boys to choose two girls each they'd like to spend some solo time with.
Moshe picks Jessica and Renee. For Adam, it's Abbey and the fiesty, funny JJ (who's already proven the standout star of the female cast).
For their solo date, Adam takes Abbey surfing. To change into his wetsuit, he first has to nude up on the beach. Once he puts it on, he realises its on backwards, so he has to get naked again. Abbey quietly prays he's also got it on inside out so he has to disrobe once more.

Moshe takes his date, Jess, to a cave. Note: in general, leading a woman into a dark hole in the ground does not make for a great first date.
Actually, scratch that. There's booze in the cave. Huzzah!
Boozecave. WOO-HOO! Source: Channel 9
For his second solo date, Moshe takes Renee to a forest. Cave? Forest? Let's be glad there's not a third date or that girl could look forward to a picturesque nightwalk around an abandoned quarry.
For the final date of episode one, Adam takes JJ to his local pub. He'd previously told her that he thought their personalities might clash, and JJ tells him that his remark hit a raw nerve because she'd heard similar complaints from previous partners.
The mere mention of 'previous partners' sends Adam into a tailspin. Apparently in his world, it ain't cool if a girl you've just met admits she hasn't, in fact, spent her life in a hermetically sealed box waiting for you to arrive and sweep her off her feet.
Thankfully, JJ pulls him up on this dodgy behaviour, and they patch things up. They've survived their first fight, and it's clear there's a real attraction between them.
Solo dates over, it's time for the four girls to make their decision. Stay in town and give love a shot, or back on the bus?
Moshe's first in the firing line, and it isn't good news. Jess decides she's getting back on the bus ... and so does Renee. Poor Renee, having to be the second girl in 30 seconds to dump Moshe. Just look at her face:

"Thanks for your honesty and it's been great having that time getting to know you," Moshe blurts out, as his poor little heart breaks on camera.
There's better news for Adam. While Abbey felt they had a real connection, she tells him she's getting back on the bus. This paves the way for JJ to stay — which she does. Yep, the 29-year-old advertising copywriter is sticking around in Margaret River to give it a go with Adam — we'll see how they get on in later episodes.
"I am 100 per cent stoked," says Adam.
AWWWWWW. Source: Channel 9
When Love Comes To Town continues 7.30pm on Wednesday May 21, with episode three to come the following Tuesday. Check back for further recaps from news.com.au right after each show airs.
