Bachelorette 9 - Filming Schedule - Discussion

We have been told the same company owns/manages three properties used this season for the Fantasy Dates and perhaps for the Last Chance dates.  Going by what we have in SCs and the locations, I have the following ideas:

Verandah is on Long Bay near Devil's Bridge.  I think Chris stays here.
It's on the east side of Antigua.

Galley Bay is near St John's Bay on the west side of Antigua.  It has the thatched roof places and cottages called Gaugin Cottages.  I think this is where Des is shown in the red dress saying something like "I've never felt so loved".    We have no SCs but by process of elimination it is most likely Brooks, or Zak if we want to "go there".

St James is on Mamora Bay in the south of Antigua.  It is near Shirley Heights and Falmouth Harbor.  I think Drew stays here.

Des is reported by momoftrips to have stayed at St. Anne's Point.  It is a private estate near Falmouth Harbor.

 
Regarding the bolded, if (as the initial spoilers said) Drew is F1, it would make sense that he is the one that is staying closest to Des and her family(I'm assuming that her family is also staying at St. Anne.)

I have a question. When did the FRC take place????

The Verandah.

ETA: Sorry I misread when for where.

I have May 6th in my head but may be wrong. Let me look.

Supposedly, May 8th.

Thanks, I'm trying to confirm whether Drew made it to F2.

How can we tell? Haven't they been keeping the F3 back and the F2 and F3 return at the same time? I know they did that with Sean and Arie and I thought it occurred other seasons as well.

Yes that is not something we can use to sleuth in recent seasons. Possibly the F2 and F3 return at the same time and the F1&lead a little later (if they spend some time together). JMO.

I think from all accounts, Drew did not come home earlier than the F2 and possibly F1.

I've been working on the timeline / filming schedule from where it had last been updated, so this is what I've got, and of course, a lot of unseen episodes can be up for debate, so let me know if something should be corrected.

very interesting that brooks' twitter was reactivated. i'm thinking that may mean he did left for a bit. i guess it's possible he was cut at F3 but i doubt it. i think this would explain BSG which totally looks like the guy leaving to me.

Yes exactly. The part about Brooks`twitter being reactivated is the most interesting part of the schedule imo. Other eliminated contestants also reactivated their twitter after well, the elimination.


Bkay - are you sure the FRC was on the 6th. I thought most folks here thought it was the 8th. Great job on the schedule.

Yeah I think it was the 8th. I said the 6th the other day but after looking back I think it was the 8th. I think there may be some days off in the MTP/LCD timeframe prior to the FRC.


It does bother me that Brooks account was activated then. I can think of 3 scenarios 1) he left for a little while and came back 2) He left and the F1 spoiler is wrong 3) TPTB are catching on and this season was fairly obvious and so they had him activate it in Antigua. They are starting to play the social media game more and more so i wouldn't put that past them.
