Bachelor Australia - Season 8 - Locky Gilbert - Media SM - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

From https://tvblackbox.com.au/page/2020/3/26/production-on-channel-10s-the-bachelor-suspended

“We were well into the production of The Bachelor Australia but we were still a few weeks away from wrapping.”

“Production will recommence as soon as we are given the official green light and current Government restrictions have been lifted.”

It will be be 6 months at least IMO and I really can't see people staying single that long.  Locky seems like a total horndog TBH - can't see him keeping it in his pants more than a few weeks, which would mess with any potential relationships.

Plus they're going to look so different - the time jump would be really jarring on screen!  Like when they replace a soap character with another actor and don't mention it and all the other actors are talking to them as if nothing's changed.  

@Bobette IMO its RIP for Locky as Bachelor. That’s gonna end up on the cutting room floor...6 months will bring a lot of changes and not only about the contestants. This world will be different then.
JMO

I doubt it will come back. Honestly.
By the time they can film again, too many people will have moved on. The world will change too much.

JMO.

Wow, and I felt sorry for the girls on the Badgers season for getting done over, I feel REALLY bad for the girls this season who ended up with a trasbag lead, and then missed out on their chance of Insta fame by virus. Especially as many would have given up jobs, and won’t be getting them back in the current climate

@Dirty Street Pie I don't feel sorry at all. Time for some real reality. Get a proper job and stop expecting things to be handed to them.

I agree that they got a lame lead. Hopefully, they will see it was for the best as he wasn't the right guy in the first place.

Who knows! Maybe he’ll hook up with one of the girls during the break..

Oh goodness.. apparently they are incorporating 'virtual dates' during lockdown. I think they are being a bit optimistic that it will only last 2 weeks though.

TWO WEEKS?!   That's the best joke I've heard all day.  Someone send TPTB a link to ABC news - they need a reality check.

Yeah, more like when ‘ denial ‘ becomes delusional !!!

I think they are referring to the 2 weeks self isolation. But after that they still can't film.

What is virtual dating? Ridiculous
