Bachelor 13 Filming Schedule ***Spoilers***

[BachfanNY]

I love the timeline! I know its not exact, but it helps to envision where Jason is at the moment... (sigh)

Anyway, here's a question: When can we expect to see preview commercials for the new season on ABC? December perhaps?

The previews will more than likely come in December! Looks like filming will wrap up around Thanksgiving and I have a post of episode air dates following this one.

If ABC wants to have a FINALE during a sweeps month then this could be the schedule of air dates. We know that May and November are big sweep months but the other two are February and September (not as major but still sweeps).

Episode 1 Meet and Greet 25/15 Possible air date Jan.5th or 12th

Episode 2 Group Dates 15/12 Possible air dates Jan. 12th or 19th

Episode 3 Groups and maybe 1/1 or 2/1 12/9 air date Jan. 19th or 26th

Episode 4 Groups and maybe 1/1 or cinderella? 9/6 Jan. 26th or Feb 2nd

Episode 5 Small groups 1/1 possible travel away 6/4 ...Airs Feb. 2nd or 9th

Episode 6 Home town dates 4/3 Airs Feb. 9th or 16th

Episode 7 Fantasy dates 3/2 Airs Feb. 16th or 23rd

WTA Air date Feb 23rd or Mar. 2nd

Episode 8 Meet Jason's Family and LCD Airs Mar.2nd or Mar 9th

As you can see if the show begins on Jan 4th and IF they combine the WTA with an episode or not do one at all the shows Finale could be the last week of February or the first week of March. The second date ends it on the 9th of March still may be close enough for the Network.
Once again a big guess until we really hear the begin date.

We should have the ladies 10 days prior to the start date.

I may be late on this but the air date for the first episode is January 5th and it's a 2 hour episode.

Thank you so much... I didn't see that anywhere and now we know they are headed for a finale during February Sweeps! I'll remove the 2nd dates so the air dates will be correct!

This would put a "potential couple" only being seperated 2 months rather than the normal 3!

[cafegirl]

To add to i<3realitytv info on the start date and length, I read in a similar article that the shows will be 90 minutes in length after the premier! ....... Geez, I hope they are NOT as dragging (i.e. boring ) as De's 90 minute epi-s!!

"'The Bachelor' will roll out with a two-hour premiere Monday, Jan. 5, at 8 p.m., then air as 90-minute episodes weekly after that."

I can't wait!
