The Bachelor 2020: Meet the women vying for Locky's heart

Here we go! - by Maddison Hockey
  • 10 Aug 2020

Locky Gilbert has officially swapped his buff for roses as the Survivor star’s search for love as our next Bachelor begins.

As we finally prepare for the new season, after much delay, we meet the women vying for Locky’s love.

WATCH: The first look at The Bachelor 2020 is here

Not only is the Survivor-contestant-turned-Bachie looking for love, he’s ready to settle down.

As the show’s first trailer recently dropped, Locky revealed he’s keen to pop the question by the end of the season!

"Being in love is the best feeling in the world, it takes your breath away," Locky muses.

"I'm here to find love. I would love to get down on one knee at the end," adding, "I'm the kind of guy that would do it."

Locky's swapped his buff for roses.

Channel Ten

Judging from the first look at this season, there are a few ladies who instantly catch Locky’s eye.

One brunette beauty, in particular, dressed in a shimmery gold dress immediately sweeps the Bachelor off his feet.

"Sorry I just got lost in your eyes, they're beautiful," Locky tells her.

This season is set to look very different to The Bachelor we’ve come to know and love.

After the COVID pandemic threw production into shambles and eventually a complete halt, the last part of the season was forced to film in compliance with restrictions.

Will Locky find The One?

Channel Ten

“We were … three-quarters of the way through series when we went into lockdown, and basically all the cast returned home,” Ten's head of entertainment Stephen Tate told The Australian.

“So we would find ways for the show to continue in the same way that dating continues in the wider world … We call it love in lockdown. They continued to virtually date, both as single dates and as group dates.”

While it may feel like we’ve been waiting forever, the new season isn’t far off.

Before it starts, meet the girls hoping to win over Locky’s heart.
