The wait’s over. The Bachelor has finally started again, and now we finally know what the deal was with Rosemary and that goddamn penguin suit.
When the 23-year-old rocked contestant up looking like Pingu, she already caught the attention of both Locky and the rest of Australia.
So it’s no wonder he chose to go off with her first. But not everyone else in the mansion was cool with that.
Bit of Penguin envy running rampant in the house #TheBachelorAU

Rosemary’s amazing penguin-to-human glow-up when she took of that suit made things better.
The other ladies seem VERY surprised to discover she’s not a real penguin.#TheBachelorAU

If you told me 6 months ago I’d be watching a penguin glow up…2020 has been a RIDE #TheBachelorAU

Obviously, being the only penguin in the room has certain advantages.
Probably chose penguin girl because he couldn’t differentiate between the others #TheBachelorAU

The girls don’t seem to realise that Locky is looking for someone with a personality. It’s not the penguin suit, it’s that she seems half interesting.
Laura, the only interesting thing about you is that you are fun to make fun of.#TheBachelorAU

Laura and Zoe-Clare in particular came across as snobby sore losers… against a penguin.

You’re wearing a net, Laura. A net. Leave penguin suit alone. #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/CqiVcEwisP

Laura’s salty. Salty like a fish. You know who eats fish? Penguins. #TheBachelorAU

Seems like they’re just jealous they don’t have enough personality (or ~creative vision~) to pull it of, tbh.
“I could have worn a penguin suit” is “I could have painted that”. YEAH, BUT YOU DIDN’T. #TheBachelorAU

But perhaps the most poignant observation came from Locky’s old Survivor host, Jonathan LaPaglia:
Pooing your pants in a penguin suit would totally suck! 😳 #TheBachelorAU #SurvivorAU

Anyone volunteer to try?
