The season premiere of The Bachelor got off to a thrilling start as Locky met his stunning line-up of ladies. 

The former Survivor star was certainly spoilt for choice as he met a bevvy of flirtatious beauties who pulled out all the stops to impress him.  

And in a Bachelor franchise first, Locky was given the opportunity to hand out a triple threat rose, which guaranteed one lucky lady an advantage.
