After The Final Rose *SPOILERS*

[VAgirl79]

I think Bek_Em may be telling the truth, however:

It could be Bek_Em & co. got ATFR mixed up with some other Bachelorette press event where they were able to view FRC? Does she know for sure this was ATFR taping yesterday and not something else pertaining to it?

I thought of this, but she specifically said today that her boss said Ali was there, Chris was there, Roberto was there, and some of Ali's family was there. They wouldn't all be there for some viewing event, I don't think.

Also, with the possibility of flight delays, would an early morning flight allow enough time to film later in the day? Wouldn't they want more time between anticipated arrival time and the start of filming just in case?

MAJOR flight delays out of Boston Friday night - we were delayed heading back to CHicago and there were major storms from the midwest through the east coast. Wouldn't be surprised if his flight was cancelled Fri night!!

Any thoughts that RS was invited as well but had a ND Agreement?

No way would they invite him....

No way would they invite him....

Isn't he in the special with them next week though? Reached a common agreement?

What if Frank is not co-operating with the show? They wrapped this whole ATFR around him.

What would they do, if he doesn't show up? There seemed to be confirmation that Frank was still in Chigaco yesterday.

Yet Ali going to that event makes no sense.

They're not on a show together with RS. MF and CH gave interviews to the same documentary that will have interviews with RS.

So, that leaves us with 2 scenarios:

1) Bek_Em was given misinfo & ATFR tapes later

2) Ali attended both the charity event and ATFR taping on the same day

Right. I mean what else could it be? We just have to figure out which it is and I have no idea how to do that. The only thing is, scenario (1) seems like it could end with a potentially happy and surprising ending. Scenario (2) says 'please don't watch me, I'll suck' for ATFR.

By the look of the sun in the photos she was there before sundown (8:15 at the latest CA time.)


ETA: VAgirl, I see you said the same thing! Sorry bout that!

There were two phases to this event, sponsored by the Academy of Coutour Arts...
First Show: 2010 EXCLUSIVE AFTERNOON PRE-PREVIEW
Time: 03:00pm - 4:00pm
Second Show: 2010 COLLIDE GRAND FASHION SHOW GALA
Time: 7.00pm - 10:00pm Red Carpet Dinner Gala Fashion Show and 9:00pm Dancing
The only way she could walk the red carpet for this event is if she arrived prior to the 3 pm show or prior to the 7 pm show. This doesn't appear to be something you could wander into midstream. She looks way overdressed for a 3 pm outing, and it was definitely still sunny prior to 7 pm last night.
If Chris didn't depart for LA until Sat morning, the earliest he could have been here was 9:45 am via commercial flight, then about an hour to get bags and drive to Hollywood. The hotel where the Gala was is about 10-15 minutes from most Hollywood filming studios, 30 min if they were out at Warner Bros.
The options seem to be that they 1) filmed the ATFR in the early evening as the source said and Ali went to the pre-preview way overdressed or 2) they filmed in the early afternoon and then Ali went to the Gala, which to me, would definitely indicate a "no choice" season.
