Thanks for the heads up! :)

Was it from this site?

Not that I could see. If you are able to see the extended preview on Grapevine, there is new material there - some enlightening video about Amanda, for instance.

I did FINALLY see that, thanks. And you're right- new stuff there- and TONS of drama.

Thank so much! I was finally able to watch it!

Ooo here is a mystery for the sleuthers to solve...

The ice castle SCs .. They can't be Catherine .. In Banff .. Because....... The lake was not frozen when they were there .. Me thinks/wonders that thes SCs are actually Jillian and Reid......

While it wouldn't be the ice castle they have on the lake (in winter), the castle isn't formed from lake ice anyway. I'm sure one could have been created- and it was probably the tourist bureau who paid for it in exchange for the promotion. In the picture it's definitely Sean- Reid is much smaller (and Jillian is much smaller than Catherine, too, even though Catherine is quite small).

That is the only way they could have an ice castle then .. And it isnt glacial ice. Much to clear

Guess it really is them in Banff.....

"""A romantic ice castle plays an important part in a sensual individual date in Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada, and country pop singer Sarah Darling serenades Sean and another bachelorette. However, when a group of women take part in a polar bear plunge in an icy cold lake, the medics are kept busy"""

I hope it's o.k. to jump in here but I've been trying to figure out some of the timing and locations for the St. Croix episode and want to capture what I've found before I lose it. Could help with the filming schedule.

Here are some eyewitness accounts to what went on during filming on St. Croix:


From RS: "I had mentioned filming was headed to St. Croix from Canada. They arrived Sunday, but yesterday did the “reshoot” to make it seem like they didn’t arrive at night. After they had already been in St. Croix, they used yesterday to have the girls get on a seaplane and pretend like they were arriving yesterday where Sean greets them. "


"Read on another forum that they have chartered the Zingara catamaran out of the BVI to use for their trips to Buck Island..."

Chief of police James Parris of the Virgin Islands Police Department, District of St Croix, wishes to advice the motoring public of the following parking restrictions and street closures scheduled for October 23,2012 in the town of Christiansted. Effective October 23,2012 from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM parking resstrictions and vehicular traffic will be in effect for the following areas; King Street at King Cross Street to Hospital Street, the corner of King Street and Church Street to Queen Street, the intersection of King Street and Hospital Street to Queen Street, the corner of Hospital Street and Company Street to the vegetable market on Company Street, the crossing of Queen Street and Queen Cross Street north to the boardwalk, Strand Lane east and Strand Lane."

"Well... we saw almost all of the things listed above. We got there Friday the 19th and immediately were inundated with all of the rumors and stories. The people associated with the show were everywhere ,dominating the whole resort. They did become a bit of a pain after the 2nd day. Anyway I'll try to fill in some of the things we saw and experienced with the filming.... if what I saw is "reality" then I am really confused. It took about about 4/5 hrs. for the crew to set up and film the arrival by seaplane at Mermaid beach... People all over the place giving orders, mostly conflicting, lights, sound apparatus,cameras, support people coming and going all day. Vans with bottled water,food, whatever. The bachelor was sweating and did not seem the least bit natural/real. The bachelorettes were all primped up and mostly kept out of sight. I bet the entire arrival scene will not be much more than 5 minutes. All of the women with us enjoyed the whole scene but me being old and crochety got fed up with all of it very quickly. Anyway the crews were all over the resort and the island for all of our trip. They shut down Company street for at least 5 hrs. to film a parade scene..."

"We were there last week, and witnessed a helicopter filming a plane as it flew over the Renaissance Carambola Beach Resort."

"I know that they filmed at the ruins at Mt. Washington on the west end, but Im not sure what shots or how much will be in the show."

"No I did not see the filming. Unfortunately I am not on island. My parents live at mt Washington and were asked to prep the stable's for the shoot. But they had tours that day so got everything reday in the morning and by time they got home they were already done and gone. Sorry I don't have more info."

"saw the production crew out by the casino this am" (October 24)

"They were all leaving The Buccaneer last Friday when we left......"

So I think the schedule might go something like this:

Sunday, October 21: Arrival on St. Croix (though still wondering if they got there late on the 20th)

Monday, October 22: Film the seaplane opening scenes on Mermaid Beach at the Buccaneer, AshLee's Buck Island date and then dinner back at Whistle Beach at the Buccaneer (this last one is a guess on my part based on sc)

Tuesday, October 23: Tierra's mock parade date in Christiansted; unclear where the evening portion was filmed--could be Carambola resort

Wednesday, October 24: Mt. Washington date. I think this is where you have the sc of Sean walking with the girl in the white top and red sheer skirt. I think it's Lesley. Evening portion could be Carambola resort (this would be closer to Mt. Washington than C'sted).

Thursday, October 25: Total guess here but I think that the three on one will be a sunrise date at Point Udall (the Easternmost point of the U.S.). And then they could do the RC that night somewhere.

Friday, October 26: We know that they left this day.
