Nobody expected to see a dude rock up to the group date with Locky on The Bachelor, but that’s exactly what Steph did and it was nothing short of iconic.
Obviously, people were assigned their costumes, so if you got something shit, bad luck. But Steph leaned right into playing the daddy and stole the show (literally and metaphorically) with her uncomfortable fatherly sexual tension.
The reaction was unanimous: not only is she a trooper for not complaining, but she ended up owning that date.
I felt so bad for Steph but she is doing a great job and making him laugh and this could play into her hands #TheBachelorau

Steph still pulling locky in despite looking like a 50yr old man is actually the best bachie plot twist I’ve ever witnesssed #TheBachelorAU

Some even thought her middle-aged man getup looked uncannily familiar…

The way she worked that daddy energy seemed to have an effect on Locky, too. That’s talent.
ok Steph getting so close to Locky in the dad costume is just reminding me of this iconic moment #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/XbFnj3ssAM
