Well, next season I hope they use Australia or an Asain country.

Here's one more thing that I found on filming in Iceland
"Iceland’s Vatnajokull glacier national park is synonymous with unique advertising and film location management settings. The Jokulsarlon lagoon has previously been used as a thrilling backdrop for box office smash hits ‘A View to a Kill’ and ‘Die Another Die’, as part of the James Bond series.
The Vatnajokull glacier park encompasses some of Iceland’s most famous scenery, from breath-taking glacial peaks and frostbitten landscapes to the peaceful idyllic Jokulsarlon lagoon. Another popular backdrop is the black basalt coast, which contrasts beautifully with nearby towering mountains.
Iceland’s largest glacier is the ideal backdrop for any director wishing to capture incredible images on film; whether filming adverts, documentaries, adventure films or taking high-definition photographs.
Advertising and film location management specialists, Vatnajokull Travel, provide directors at all levels the assistance needed to film that special shot. The travel company’s expert guides have a huge knowledge of the landscape and a vast understanding location management.
Vatnajokull Travel also specialise in unique glacial hikes, ATV tours across black sand beaches and alternative company incentives."
I can see them doing the ATV rides on Black Sand beaches...
I really like the idea of a new and different venue such as Iceland - and such exposure for their growing tourist trade.

I found this 4 star hotel - seems a bit secluded...and is right at a waterfall..perfect for FRC
This links to the wedding page and you can see couples at the place near there for photos - many great FRC locations

but here is why the producers will LOVE it...
Hot tubs right smack dab in the middle of the rooms - there are several nights near the end of April when it is completely booked.

I must say it is gorgeous! I hope the show really highlights the beauty of the country.Originally Posted by cape;3858291;
Wow...wow...wow good find Cape! I love this hotel...with all of the theme rooms! I can totally see this being a FD location! And the fact that it is completely booked at the end of April is a good clue!
I hope so too! I always think the show doesn't do enough justice to the places they visit.Originally Posted by LibbyBell;3858301;
I was just looking at that hotel and it is 35 km from that waterfall that has the trails going behind it so you can actually walk behind the waterfalls...there seems to be so much to do in that general area I don't know where to begin to look!
Iceland is really expensive! I guess that doesn't matter to TPTB. I do remember Fliess saying his dream ending for the show would be that the bachelor/bachelorette and thier F1 get engaged and a Justice of the Peace Marry them right there on finale night. You think Ali will go along with that?
