That is the question contestants in this weekend's Speight's Perfect Woman competition in Wanaka will be asked after they battle it out over beer, barbecues and building tasks.
The two-day event, now in its 12th year at The Bullock Bar, has attracted 31 entries after a series of preliminary rounds at pubs throughout Southland and Otago.
Bar co-owner Brendan Quirke said two women from the North Island would also be competing and there were still a few spaces left for last-minute contestants.
Entries close at 4pm tomorrow.
On Saturday the women will break into groups and compete in tasks including speed pool, trailer backing, golf chipping, carcass carrying and gravel shifting.
In a new ''Bullock Bar Kitchen Rules'' event, each entrant will get $10 to spend on supermarket food and 40 minutes to prepare a meal.
The catch?
Only three barbecues will be provided for all the women to cook on.
''It's going to be a mad scramble,'' Mr Quirke said.
The top 10 contestants move through to the finals which will include a ''super surprise on an adrenaline-filled Sunday morning'' and a maze challenge at Wanaka's Puzzling World.
Later, back at The Bullock Bar, the women's betting, building, fencing, stonemasonry and firefighting skills will be tested.
The finals round ends with a stage show in which the competitors wear their self-designed Speight's Perfect Woman outfit and tell the judges the three things they would take to a desert island on which the All Blacks were staying.
''That's just to kind of get their sense of humour and personalities out. Some of them don't have a sense of humour or personalities but they might be really good at driving a tractor. So we just try and test them on everything,'' Mr Quirke said.
The winner will be announced on Sunday evening and will receive a $1000 prize.
There is also a $1000 prize pack for the best support crew.
