It’s officially here! The finale of The Bachelor Australia has wrapped, and we said a final “ahoy hoy” to Locky Gilbert—and in the most dramatic way possible.
Pondering on the complexities of dating multiple women at one time, his conundrum with choosing between Irena and Bella began early on. So what does one do when faced with a life-altering decision? Ask Mum, of course.
Having a sweet (and socially-distanced) lunch together, Locky and his mum bond over potential polygamy, and from there, he drove the two remaining ladies through some mud, and professed his love for both of them.
However, as the final rose ceremony drew near, things got even muddier for poor ol’ Locky, who admitted that “you don’t break up with someone that you love”, the thought of which led him to tears.
Rumours aside, Locky came to a decision, choosing Irena. And just like that, season eight came to a close.

So does Locky choose someone that's going to take care of him and change his nappy or does he choose Bella's eyes? #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/kqrS3BPRih

I’m so sick of the narrative that women are more worth it if they’re able to stand up to the guy they’re dating and keep him in line

He’s a fucking grown ass adult, no woman should have to pull their adult boyfriend into line, he’s responsible for how he acts Jfc #TheBachelorAU
