Didn't he go out with her too? Bitter Betty.

@Sprite Yep and at the time she said they were "just friends" and it was all an innocent misunderstanding.  Seems like a total pile-on now by these girls just to get in the headlines.

Also I note we haven't heard Locky saying he's SO IN LOVE lately so I wouldn't be surprised if they've officially split and TPTB have given the green light to throw Locky under the bus...

"I've decided that I'm going to say something" Will Bella's move send her home? #TheBachelorAU, 7.30 tonight on 10 pic.twitter.com/9wvybXLiGH

And this is why it doesn't really bother me that Locky is having his fun. It's not as if any of these women are really serious about him either. It is a mutually beneficial relationship until they get pissed for some reason.

Its turning into a bit of an Alex/Nikki edit.
Based on the kisses (always a tell IMO), if we didn't know it was Irena I would say Bella was F1 from the edit.
With Irena being the 'safe/white picket fence' choice.
I'm yet to see a good kiss between Locky and Irena.
Maybe Bella was his pick up until she revealed her true colours after lockdown??
Irena gets the first second date by the looks of it.

@Finch I'm not sure about that. He was plenty into kissing Irena when they got back. He seemed really excited to see her and she was the only one he initiated with...repeatedly!

@Sprite yeah thats true, he does lean in for a kiss with Irena quite a bit. Maybe its just his kissing style

Speaking of which it is so ...bland.  I think Roxi said they were chaste or something?  If we don't see some real action, I am just going to agree that he wasn't into any of them.

I think Bella thought she was the one and go extremely disappointed when Irina told her Locky phoned texted FaceTimed daily with her too. I think her insecurities pushed out her jealousy.... and producers helped jumped on the juicy opportunity after roxi departure to fuel the tension. No roxi no drama, Juliette useless. Bye Juliette!

It was out of proportion and pushed by handlers who are just there to act like their friends but are in fact fuelling doubts and drama. The script and edits show us producers version of what happened. It is repeated each season ad nauseam that what we see is not what happened. So why Bella is not given the benefice of the doubt is a mystery. I remember the 3 villains on Nick season... happens one of them became the beloved of BIP this year.

Anyway. I think Locky is not a saint and would get fame and glory out of this... a possible GF. Not a fiancé. He is far from ready to settle down, have kids (meaning steady income and presence to raise the kids). He wants to have fun. Irina is too mature for him. Bella seems too superficial.

It will be interesting to see if a couple emerged out of this.

All JMO

This group date looks even more polygamisty than usual.

Bella is such a 5 year old, "but myyyy heart wasn't the only thing on his pec".

We are only 15 mins in and Bella is driving me
Mental already with her immaturity.
Why does it appear all the girls in the house are on her side also?

I really feel for Irena right now.

And Bella wasnt upset when Steph has a kiss on the mouth. Maybe she thinks Steph is no threat
