If they have a group date at the beach, where would he have his private one-on-one time with the girls?

This must also be from the group date....Des or Catherine?

I'm going to say Des because of the length of the hair. Bathing suit has gold endings on the ties if we happen to find that in another cap.[/quote]

We've seen this scene (girl in black bikini) in an earlier preview, the larger screencap is somewhere. I tried to look for it but couldn't locate it.

This looks like private one on one time...

A couple of weeks ago, I did a bunch of sleuthing and pulling together what we knew about St. Croix and posted it on the Speculation/Sleuthing thread (page 28). It might be helpful to have it over here as we discuss options for St. Croix. Here's what I posted:

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.

THE BIGGEST MELTDOWN IN "BACHELOR" HISTORY TAKES CENTER STAGE
AS HOMETOWN DATES LOOM DURING A HOT TRIP TO ST. CROIX FOR SEAN
AND THE SIX REMAINING WOMEN, ON ABC'S "THE BACHELOR"

"Episode 1707" - The pressure mounts as the crucial hometown dates loom, but before returning stateside, Sean takes the remaining six bachelorettes to romantic St. Croix. AshLee not only risks revealing a secret about her past, but also decides to go on the attack when it comes to Tierra. Tierra, feeling anxious about her relationship with Sean and how the drama with the other women will influence his decision, desperately discloses something that will shock him. Lesley's individual date has her re-thinking her strategy. Sean, confused over whom he should send home, invites his sister to St. Croix to help him sort through his feelings. A huge drama erupts at the hotel and Sean knows what he must do, dropping two bombshells and leaving the four women who will take him home to meet his families, on "The Bachelor," MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

Sean scoops up AshLee for a romantic ride on a catamaran to a private island. They seem to be falling more and more in love. Sean feels so comfortable with AshLee that he asks her about the drama between the other women, and she wastes no time in trashing Tierra. However that night AshLee decides to share something about her past that might jeopardize her chance at getting a hometown date.

Tierra and Sean meet on the streets of St. Croix and explore the town. Sean takes this opportunity to ask his date about the rumors he has heard about her behavior, but she is quite unapologetic. But now Tierra is apprehensive about her chances of getting a hometown date, and takes a calculated risk divulging a stunning bit of information. But will it be enough?

Sean surprises three women, waking them up at 4:00 a.m. so they can go see the sunrise at the easternmost point of the U.S. During the day, the group travels across the island in time to see the sunset at the western edge of St. Croix. Each woman gets quality time with Sean. One bachelorette opens up about a dark family secret. Another woman breaks down talking about her family. But one makes a clear impression, gets the rose and captures a hometown date.

On the final day on the island, Sean hopes to push his relationship with Lesley along, feeling that it is behind the others. After exploring the ruins of the Mt. Washington sugar plantation, he asks her if there is anything else she would like to say. She worries about not sharing her true feelings with Sean and hopes that it won't keep her from taking him home to meet her family.

Sean's sister, Shay, journeys to St. Croix to help her brother sort out his feelings, and cautions him about what kind of woman would not be good for him. Meanwhile, two women are going at each other, one accusing the other of sabotaging her time with Sean. The accusation escalates into the biggest meltdown in "Bachelor" history. Sean, however, doesn't have any idea what happened at the hotel, but soon sends a shockwave through the group. The women are panicked about what lies ahead at the rose ceremony and break into tears with self-doubt as they wonder what the Bachelor is really looking for in a soul mate. But Sean manages to narrow the field to the four lucky bachelorettes who will take him to their hometowns to meet their families.

The six women are:
AshLee, 32, personal organizer, Houston, TX
Catherine, 26, graphic designer, Seattle, WA
Desiree, 26, bridal stylist, Los Angeles, CA
Lesley M., 25, political consultant, Washington, DC
Lindsay, 24, substitute teacher, Fort Leonard Wood, MO
Tierra, 24, leasing consultant, Denver, CO

Can I just gloat for a minute? I guessed the sunrise date at Point Udall....guess I was right :)

But I had the timing of the dates wrong so will have to go back to the drawing board. Still don't see how they fit all of the dates in...

Just picked this up from the Buccaneer's website:

"The Buccaneer Hotel will be featured in an upcoming episode of ABC’s The Bachelor. The episode will feature a romantic “one-on-one dinner date” inside our sugar mill with the newest bachelor, Sean Lowe, as well as another “one-on-one” dinner at an exclusive nearby beach."

The one on one dinner at an exclusive nearby beach has to be AshLee on the evening portion of their date.

Dinner in the Sugar Mill (I knew they'd do something there but thought it might be the RC) for another one on one dinner...guessing Tierra.

Still trying to figure out how they filmed an RC on Thursday (when it appears from the episode description that Lesley had her date) as they all left on Friday.
