Possible Calendar for Bachelor 12 Filming ~

[nocalgal]

I find it hard to believe Shayne's HT date would be the day after a rose ceremony. Even if she is a set-up and shoo-in for FR, I don't think they would let on and call her family and say "Hey, we're coming to dinner tonight". I think a film crew would arrive a day before the actual shoot for set-up.

Perhaps each of the final 6 families get a call from the production staff to coordinate a day that will work for the hometown in the event that their daughter makes it to the final 4. There has to be some advanced notice for all of them, or the production might get delayed for a few precious days.

Unless it were a foregone conclusion that Shayne would at least go to F3, prearranged by papa.

longhorn, I hadnt thought of that.

redrose I think you can cut a couple of days off of that schedule at least. First of all, the night of the 16th of February could well have had a Rose Ceremony. Assume that Matt and Amanda flew back to LA , during the day on the 16th. They could easily have arrived in the afternoon and given the 3 hour time change , it would not be a problem to have a RC starting at 9 pm or whenever.

On the 17th they could have flown to Barbados. And the FDs could have been on the 18, 19 and 20th. I know that Meredith's FD with Matt began the very next day after her FD with Ian. (She arrived at the beach so late in the afternoon that they had to skip the water sports portion of the date.)

The 3 to 2 RC could then have taken place on the 21st.
Fly to London on the 22d. Meet the parents could have then been on the 23rd and 24th.

We know the filming is like a whirlwhind of activity and travel for the contestants. Many have mentioned this. I think you could cut from the top of your list as well. For example the activities on Feb 5 and 6 could have taken place on one day. Fly to Idaho in the morning. Date with Chelsea in the evening. I dont think these guys get much rest at all.

Monday March 3 is the date the finale was filmed according to someone in Barbados. Perhaps others can confirm this as well.

If the finale is March 3, then maybe there are 2 days for traveling to London. When I have flown to Europe, I usually lose a day... leave Monday night and arrive Tuesday morning, for instance.

Well if the finale filmed on March 2, then the tourist who saw a petite blond on the beach with film crew could have seen part of the Last Chance Date. I remember that she was convinced that it did not occur in February. Great input everyone! Thank you so much.

pajamasam, the 4-3 RC took place on 2/17, according to ABC media net pics. They very well could have flown back to LA and had the RC that night (like I had it in my original timeline). All we know is that the 6-4 RC was on 2/9; the 4-3 RC on 2/17.

On the 17th they could have flown to Barbados. And the FDs could have been on the 18, 19 and 20th. I know that Meredith's FD with Matt began the very next day after her FD with Ian. (She arrived at the beach so late in the afternoon that they had to skip the water sports portion of the date.)

The 3 to 2 RC could then have taken place on the 21st.
Fly to London on the 22d. Meet the parents could have then been on the 23rd and 24th.

I eliminated the rest days - travel to Barbados on 2/18 but now the meet the parents dates are 2/24, 2/25.

For example the activities on Feb 5 and 6 could have taken place on one day. Fly to Idaho in the morning. Date with Chelsea in the evening. I dont think these guys get much rest at all.

The 9-6 RC was on 2/4; the 6-4 RC on 2/9. They spent an extra bit of time in Idaho, not sure why.
