The Bachelor AU – Season 8

Our Bachelor has fallen in love with two women and with the end in sight, it's going to be one unforgettable finale.

It's Hometowns and with four wildly different women offering four very distinct futures, Locky must face the firing line from the ladies families.

Only five women remain in the race for Locky's heart, and the pressure is on as he contemplates the difficult decision of who to take through to home towns.

It's the first group date since everyone returned to the mansion and the ladies finally get to do what they couldn't during lockdown: get physical with Locky. Locky is blindfolded and stripped down to his underwear.

Locky and the ladies return to the mansion and some things have changed dramatically. For some, deeper connections have been found, while for others initial sparks have fizzled out.

As Love In Lockdown draws to a close, the girls are invited on a virtual group date where they will have the opportunity to introduce their nearest and dearest to Locky.

With production at the mansion shutdown and the remaining Bachelorette's sent home, it's time to shake things up and get love back on track. Welcome to love in lockdown!

This week's group date goes ahead within the mansion compound, but it's what happens at the cocktail party that shakes the ladies to their core as relationship fractures begin to surface.

What would a season be without a compatibility test? Will all the ladies play by the rules or will some fudge their answers to fall in line with Locky's?

At another explosive cocktail party, drama has again erupted, setting the stage for more tears, with one Bachelorette not sure who she can trust.
