Bachelor Australia - Season 8 - Locky Gilbert - Media SM - *Sleuthing Spoilers* #2

When Ellie season bomb out, the producers should take note and not have Bella as the lead.

I'm 50/50 on whether Irena and Locky will last. It comes down to Locky, not Irena IMO. She's all in and will probably put up with a LOT to make it work. Too much. Irena, girl... don't put up with crap just so you're not the "girl the guy always leaves and then marries the next girl". Like, don't make that your identity!

If Locky's natural behaviours are being curtailed by Covid restrictions, as soon as they're over he'll be back to his old ways IMO. Philandering, travelling, looking for more TV opportunities. Basically anything other than the marriage and kids he said he was ready for on the show.

If he really has just got to the settling down stage, then I think they've got as good a chance as any couple on this show IMO.

But I'm cynical that he's not just biding his time until he can travel and socialise like before. And yeah something is off about their body language imo! She is WAY more into him than he her and he just likes that she's going to look after him and not question (or "stand up to") him. But hey, even if it's an awful relationship, that doesn't mean they'll break up.

All JMO!

The Bachelor's Bella Varelis hints again she could be Australia's next Bachelorette before heaping praise on Network 10

Just a day after getting her heart broken during The Bachelor finale, Bella Varelis has once again hinted she could become Australia's next Bachelorette.

Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Australia on Friday, the 25-year-old Bachelor runner-up confessed she'd love to be cast on the reality show.

Her candid admission came shortly before Bella praised Network 10 - which screens both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette - in a series of posts on Instagram Stories.

'A big thank you to my Channel 10 family (you know who you are) for making me smile through the tough parts of last night,' she wrote.

'I'm so excited to start this new journey and you are all apart [sic] of that.'

NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Bella is all over the media giving interviews and mentioning the feud. Irena on the other hand is dealing it by not giving our details. Even if she's at fault, she's maintaining class. Bella is striking it while the iron is hot.

I can't see them lasting. Is there a bigger red flag in the world than your Mum being THAT concerned about you needing to be pulled into line that she needs to mention it 10 times? Is he not an adult in his thirties?

I totally agree about body language and I don't see how Irena can watch the show back and not be hurt. He was so affectionate to Bella and I am not a fan of her but his line to her about not having certainty for the future was just insane, given he has spent the whole time saying how much he loves adventure. It was awful of him to turn that around on her. Obviously what he really meant is that there was no future as she would never leave Syd's eastern suburbs to move to Perth but Irena would likely do anything he asked.

His words in this interview are very different to his actions IMO: https://www.pedestrian.tv/entertainment/bachelor-locky-gilbert-irena-srbinovska-exit-interview/ . Although it is nice he defends her quite vigorously against the things Izzy has been claiming.

She's not even playing coy or giving the standard "maybe when I heal..." answers the F2s usually do - she's just straight in there running her own Bette campaign.

Bear in mind this season only wrapped a few weeks ago and had a superfast turnaround time - usually the F2 has had months between filming and airing to get over the Lead, and some of them are still devastated (c.f. Elise)

It's obvious why - because she never wanted to be with Locky and Bette was always her goal IMO - but geez shouldn't she at least be pretending to be "heartbroken"?

Let's just hope CH10 have wised the hell up and aren't even entertaining the idea. I just listened to cocktail and roses, and Osher did mention he'd love to introduce Bella in Paradise, but let's hope not.

That's kind of a lowkey burn from Osher - he'd know Bella wants/expects to skip Paradise and go straight to Lead IMO.

And just more reason why I am not liking Bella. I don't think I have ever seen any contestant be so blatant about their intentions. She doesn't even care that her edit was horrid. And that smug little smile when she knows she it being papped. Ugh. I said that the thirst was strong with this one, but it is off the charts. I hope she ends up on BIP and like Abby, get an even worse edit.

Not sure if it was already mentioned. They had an interview with Matty J and Ruby in Babble Podcast. Insightful. We’ll see if this lasts
