Season 12 - The Ladies?

[BSGFan]

More food for thought. Thanks, Lynn!

That is an interesting observation, Lynn. Now I'm trying to remember if they kept the F2 apart in previous seasons other than Andy's. Hmm. In Lorenzo's season, Jen and Sadie were together on the Tuscany date, but I think that's it.

Sarah and Moana were on quite a few together weren't they? The day out on the boat date (with the infamous what a *bleep* reaction). Was that different from the casino date? Yeah, I'm scaring myself that I remember that.

My memory gets fuzzy starting with Charlie.. anybody have any input on this?

My only observation is that in order to put the F2 on separate dates, the producers have to actually know very early on who the F2 might be! Is that actually possible?

I think it's possible. If the Bachelor knows who his F1 girl is , then either TPTB or the bachelor himself pick who they want to take the F2 spot. Maybe the bachelor has some imput on which of the final girls he would rather spend more time mugging it up with.

Is anyone watching Jay Leno? He was mocking on "The Bachelor" ,and made fun of Michele missing and wanting to go home to her cat. Some of the past bachelors were on Jay Leno, I wonder if they'll have Matt on.

I'm sure they grill him the first night as to who his frontrunners are and they take it from there...getting continual updates as the show progresses.

Does anyone know if Matt did a phone interview this week?

Duplicated in Fantasy Dates and Thoughts and Comments in General.

Okay, I decided to take a break from sleuthing white cows and horses by the name of Hero and Daisy and I decided to put my fried brain back to work

First week (of dating):
Chelsea and Shayne are on the same date
Amanda is on a separate date

Second week:
Holly is on a 1:1
Shayne is on a 1:1
Amanda and Chelsea are on the same date

Third week:
Marshana and Holly are on a rose or go home date
Amanda is on a 1:1
Chelsea and Shayne are on the same date

Fourth week (Idaho):
All of the girls are together in snow play
Robin goes snowboarding
Chelsea goes sleigh riding
Noelle goes skating

Then hometown dates then fantasy dates then FRC.

What does all of this mean? Other than the snow play Amanda and Shayne are never on the same date but Chelsea is on dates with Amanda or Shayne.

It goes back to this earlier photo that I find rather curious:

Great analysis! Questions:

What week does Amanda have her 1:1? It looks to me like they are waffling Chelsea around even though Shayne and Amanda are never together. Does Noelle play a part in this?

Amanda's date is a week from monday - the Americana/50's date - on Santa Monica Pier

I think Amanda's date is this Monday, right? This coming Monday will be the third week.
