‘Are production on a budget?’ The Bachelor comes under fire for its ‘truly hideous’ cheese platter with ‘six crackers’ during a date with Locky Gilbert and intruder Kaitlyn Hoppe

The Bachelor’s Locky Gilbert undoubtedly had intense chemistry with blonde bombshell intruder, Kaitlyn Hoppe. 

But while the hunky adventure seeker had eyes for the beauty – it was their cheeseboard which caught the attention of viewers across Australia. 

On Wednesday night, Twitter erupted in a frenzy over the sad-looking snack board, with some viewers even calling it ‘hideous’. 

‘Are production on a budget?’ The Bachelor came under fire on Wednesday night for its ‘truly hideous’ cheese platter with ‘six crackers’ during a date with Locky Gilbert and Kaitlyn Hoppe. Both pcitured

‘I’ve always wondered why no one gets into the cheese platter. This one is truly hideous, one cheese and six crackers??? I mean I know Channel Ten is cost cutting but still…..’ wrote one cheese connoisseur on Twitter. 

Meanwhile, another viewer seemed aghast the platter didn’t seem to have much variety on it.

‘Who is making these platters? Honestly, they are not enough! You need like 8 kinds of cheese at a minimum,’ demanded another viewer. 

A third echoed the cost-cutting sentiment: ‘That cheese platter looks so sad are they [production] on a budget or something?’ 

Not so delicious? 'Who is making these platters? Honestly, they are not enough! You need like 8 kinds of cheese at a minimum.'

However, one viewer clearly liked what they saw, commenting: ‘That’s a good looking cheese platter.’

Snacks aside, Locky and Kaitlyn had plenty of chemistry during the date. 

‘You’re very attractive. Got an amazing body. And, like, I’ve noticed you’ve got tattoos. So hot,’ Kaitlyn told the strapping hunk. 

Locky went on to ask why the vivacious blonde was single coming on the series. 

‘I guess for me, I’m very driven,’ she said. ‘So when I see there’s an opportunity, like, I’m gonna go and take it.’

Chemistry: 'I guess for me, I'm very driven,' she said. 'So when I see there's an opportunity, like, I'm gonna go and take it. Um, but it's more the fact. I've got big goals,' Kaitlyn said

Locky himself admitted he liked that she had plenty of dreams.   

‘Kaitlyn seems like an amazing person. She’s very driven, she loves her job, and she’s very confident, but she came into this situation in a really hard way,’ he said. 

‘To walk out in a wedding dress, jump in my arms in front of all the other girls, that takes balls. And I really like that about her.’ 

Locky ended up giving Kaitlyn a rose before the cocktail party.
