Premier: March 31 25/15
April 7, 2008 15/12
April 14 12/9
April 21 9/6
April 28 6/4
May 5 Home town 4/3
May 12 Fantasy 3/2
May 19 WTA
May 26 Finale
May 27 ATFR

I agree on those air dates.

The show should start taping around January 14th, so until then, there won't be anything to sleuth, (other than who the Bachelor is).

Especially since the only thing I can find at TMZ for today was about Mary and Byron.

PS: Zinnia, should this be changed to start on January 14th +/-?

If the filming pattern follows the prior shows, this is what it would look like ~

Filming of Bachelor 11 was July 21 to August 25 ~ 36 days
Season Premier ~ Sept 24
One month between end of filming and Season Premier.

With Bachelor 10, there was only a 20 day break between end of filming and Season Premier.

With Bachelor 9, there was only an estimated 10 day to 2 week break between end of filming and Season Premier!

In other words, without an exact date of start of filming we cannot determine the draft. It will be close in time between end of filming and Season Premier so that leaks do not occur.
