From winning MTV's "The next MTV VJ" competition six years ago to winning the hearts of Cleo readers, Jason Dundas has come a long way for a man who lists Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger as one of his celebrity crushes. At this point, for no real reason whatsoever, we'd like to mention once again our favourite insult ever directed at the Pussycat Dolls by UK website HolyMoly , who described the musical ensemble as "herpes in a halter neck".

Jason Dundas beat tough competition in the form of Dean Geyer and breadloving fitness fanatic Shannon Ponton to earn the crown of Cleo's Bachelor of the Year, and we offer him hearty congratulations.

Confidential mention in their article regarding Jason's win that his "recent flame" is inspiration dolphin defender Isabel Lucas, but the last we heard from our insiders (and yes, we have them - believe it or not), that situation could best be described as a one way pursuit rather than an actual relationship, but hey - perhaps things have changed since we were last updated on the love lives of former Home & Away stars?

Not that it matters whether the bachelors in the competition are actually single.

(Cleo editor Nedahl) Stelio defended the contest when quizzed by Confidential, claiming "all the bachelors told us they weren't in long-term relationships".

She admitted the magazine had to cast the net "further afield" and beyond the realm of celebrity in order to find more single men for this year's bachelor contest.

So we should probably just refer to it as Cleo's annual "Search For Somewhat Attractive Male You Have Possibly Heard Of And Who May Or May Not Have A Partner, What Do You Care, Like You've Got A Chance Of Landing Him Anyway, Bitch" competition?

We also chuckled quietly at the second comment on this website's story about Jason's win.
