If men think that they are the only ones who can run women according to their hotness level, then think again.

The exciting time of the year for Cleo Magazine has finally come again as they gather up a panel of female Australian judges to determine who will be ranked as the Bachelor of the Year.

Over lunch, a large group of hottest female Aussies met in Otto Ristorante to deliberate the gentlemen who will make it to the list of Cleo in line with the magazine's 25th anniversary. From the most in demand celebrities, sexy models and other key female leaders in the society, they marked the first part of this search held yearly.

There were almost two hundred single male entries who made it for judging, but only the top 50 finalists would be included in the much-celebrated magazine issue.

After the judges have all arrived to make up the entire panel and luxuriating the popular Italian cuisine offered by the restaurant, they worked together to sift through the entries and debated as pictures of Aussie hunks were passed around. Each judge had a good look before they settle for their own favourites.

It was interesting to note that many may have found friends or even ex-boyfriends amongst the list of top entries. The final 50 entries that the group has decided upon will be formally announced on March later this year. The exciting list will be featured in the April 2012 edition of Cleo Magazine.

Some of the hottest names included in the panel of judges include Kate Waterhouse, Jesinta Campbell, Erika Heynatz, Kendal Schuler, Maude Garrett, and a lot more.
