OK - Lellis - a couple of things here - if they adhere to the same/reg schedule - you have only allowed for only '3' 1n1 dates on that whole schedule - that definitely is not enough - also - no 2n1 date - no days off between FD's and 2 days for each hometown date - not so sure that that is all necessary - some don't take 2 days.

Like I said, tentative....I don't know it all! Just providing a point of reference that needs to stay clean, for edits only!

why do you have so few 1 on 1 dates? also for the hometown dates did u do two days to include one day of travel? just trying to get a sense of where you are going from.

editted... do you think there will be a travel date between the group date and the 1 on 1? (10/29/08)

I asked Lellis to post it just so we could have something to work off. I don't think she said it was for sure -- just a working copy. I was thinking of timing in my head and I think it makes sense to have it written down.

You may be right, there may be more 1 on 1 dates and less travel dates, but at least this gives us a general idea of what point in the process they are at. Most likely as time goes on we'll get information that helps us pinpoint exact dates and the line up of 1 on 1 vs. group dates.

I did have one question -- when the initial casting call went out I believe it said all but 4 girls would be gone only 2 weeks. So I wonder if they sped up the process a bit......this is just speculation, on my part.

Oh I found the original post. Cupcakes posted this exerpt from a blog on 6/18 in the Bachelor 13 thread.

Just a heads up about the casting and travel dates. If you are chosen as one
of the finalists, you would need to be available August 21st-23rd for Casting Finalists Weekend; we will pay for your travel and hotel expenses for the duration of your casting stay. At that time, you will meet with our casting team and producers.

Please note that filming is scheduled to begin October 13th for up to six
consecutive weeks. However, if you are not chosen as one of the final four
bachelorettes, taping may last up to 10 days only.

Not saying that they stuck to this...but I think in developing the timeline we should keep the 10 day window in mind. If they started filming 10/15, then 10 days would have been 10/28. Still way to short IMO unless they changed up the format and cut more bachelorettes earlier on.

I went back and checked Cape's timeline for Bachelorette 4 and there were 16 days before the 6/4 cut.. Cape where are you?

Do they not film on weekends so we don't count those days?

In the past they have filmed most every day, with the occasional day "off" for travel, etc. I think the 10 day window would be SO short, but thought it was worth bringing up in the timeline discussion.

For B12 and B4 there were 14 and 16 days between the meet and greet and the 6/4 elimination. I think BlondieGal did a great timeline for B12 and had the first half pretty nailed down before we had many leaks. Here's what she had (obviously filming dates differ). To me the previous Bachelor timelines are more relevant than the previous Bachelorette timelines.
