Why dozens of women quit The Bachelor when they found out Locky Gilbert was the leading man - causing a 'major headache' for producers
The Bachelor's casting directors reportedly had a tough time finding women to date new leading man Locklan 'Locky' Gilbert.
Dozens of 'disinterested' bachelorettes apparently quit after learning that the former Australian Survivor star, 30, spends six months a year living in Bali, where he owns the Four Elements Adventure tourism company.
A production insider told Woman's Day on Monday: 'There was a revolving door of women; it was quite a headache for casting.'

Known for his passion for thrill, speed and adventure, Locky's company runs guided tours across Bali and its surrounding islands.
But after realising that he would be spending most of his time in Indonesia to oversee his business, many would-be contestants pulled out because they weren't willing to leave Australia.
'A lot of women were disinterested,' the source continued. 'It was just hard to get them to sign up and compete for a guy who spends half his life in another country.'

Producers reportedly had to work overtime to 'encourage the girls to take the process seriously and put it all on the line' for Locky.
Tensions were running so high over the matter that the 'awkward' first few weeks of filming even saw the women argue over who would seriously consider leaving their friends and family behind to start over in Bali.
Despite the casting struggles, Locky has repeatedly assured fans that he found love on The Bachelor.

He said over the weekend: 'I can definitely assure you I am madly in love. It's an amazing feeling and to be able to say it out aloud now, it's a really good feeling.
'It's definitely a love story that everyone will remember. It's a crazy ride, I'll tell you that,' he added.
