Roxi is unstable and a bit of Jamie. I see her mum and her friend Tahnee are all over the Bachelor Instagram defending her in every comment.

If the entire episode is all about Irena, it could have been filmed later and slotted in to manufacture the F1 storyline - watch closely for possible time jumps or discrepancies in their appearance (especially Locky who chonked up during the break ).

I forgot to mention it yesterday when I was listening to Cocktails and Roses, Osh kept mentioning that this coming week would deal with the lockdown. So not sure how they're gonna squeeze the group date, maybe a single date and a cocktail party + rose ceremony, plus start of a covid shutdown into an hour, but we'll see.

The Bachelor's mass boning: Locky Gilbert is forced to axe FIVE women in one night after coronavirus fast-tracked production

According to New Idea, the former Australian Survivor star, 30, sent five women home in one night because producers had encouraged him to 'speed things up'.

'When coronavirus forced the show to shut down, there were 15 girls remaining and producers broke the news to Locky that he had to do a mass cull that night and send five girls home on the spot,' an insider claimed.

They added: 'They had to basically shut up shop immediately and to try to maintain some control, they wanted to focus on the top 10 going forward as it was already going to be difficult to coordinate them all over Zoom.'

As a result of the interruption, Channel 10 has been forced to air shorter episodes of The Bachelor this season.

The network and producers Warner Bros. were left with a dearth of footage as a result of the lengthy filming break.

Fans have complained that the episodes are much briefer than last year's, and producers also seem to be stringing along the drama by using cliffhanger endings.
