Bachelor Australia - Season 8 - Locky Gilbert - Episodes - Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

So many lies told in this press release IMO; and they wonder why we don't trust them!

After seven episodes were completed The Bachelor team came to the conclusion that due to lockdown restrictions they would need to send the crew, production staff, and the 10 final contestants’ home. While host Osher Günsberg stayed in The Bachelor mansion and Gilbert stayed in The Bachelor pad.

Innes said that two episodes were produced with the contestants living back home but they continued to have Zoom dates, cocktail parties and rose ceremonies in lockdown.

Last time I checked, the Bach Pad isn't in Perth.

Yes they can have the same number of episodes but the usual 1 episode is being shown as 2 episodes.

Unless they resumed filming MUCH earlier than July 6 date that was announced, there is no way they filmed 7 episodes post-lockdown IMO.  I suspect they're just going to water everything down and drag it out to fill out the time.  Great.

It makes me laugh so hard that they're trying to push the "Locky chilled at the Bach Pad" storyline when he is literally tagged in multiple pics in Perth during that time Do they think people don't know how to use social media?

Even during the lockdown there were pictures of Locky bringing flowers to his mum on Mother's day

Locky was in Perth during lockdown

So it was Bella in the HIDEOUS white lace suit.  Apparently the (plain and ordinary, not-worth-$200-imo) dress she wore on her SD sold out - can't see the same happening with this monstrosity.

Note the date and caption for the pap pic - first RC, 11th of March.

With Kaitlyn's arrival there are 22 girls currently on set.  Production was shut down March 25/26, and TPTB claim they were down to the Top 10?  That would pretty much require one dumping per day!

I honestly, truly and very sincerely wish I knew as little about world politics as 'has world war 3 already happened' girl (who is she? I've really only paid attention to a handful of them at this point). Like I would be so much happier and have far less anxiety. I'm but also not joking at all  

Also yeah that thing Bella is wearing is not nice in any way IMO

@leavers, That's Charley... a TEACHER.

Welp. Oh okay I just looked her up, she teaches PE. Well that tracks. I guess you don't need to know too much about world events to make kids run around the oval and drop and give her 20

"Drop and roll like you're a soldier dodging those laser strikes during WWIII which I am totally sure your history teachers have told you about!"  

To be fair, I'm pretty sure she's just playing up to the dumb blonde stereotype.  Did you see her Kath & Kym-esque routine in the Insider Guide?

Ooh nope, will watch as soon as my partner's Zoom meeting is done.

(Have I mentioned I'm totally sick of Zoom? And not at all looking forward to whole-azz Zoom episodes of this show? I probably haven't mentioned it today )

With another 5 episodes to go before lockdown, they need to eliminate 2 or 3 contestants every episode

There is an impromptu cocktail party in tomorrow episode.
