I goofed up (SORRY). The 2 on 1 date does not happen at the F9 stage but rather the F11. Will go search for Sean's episode description also and will post just to be sure........


Desiree

Sean

Season 17, Episode 5

Episode Synopsis: Sean takes the 11 remaining bachelorettes to Whitefish, Mont., where eight compete in a relay race and Sean takes one woman on a helicopter ride over Glacier National Park and then to a concert. Also: Drama erupts after the group date; and Sean goes on a two-on-one date involving a horseback ride. At the rose ceremony, the playing field is reduced to nine. Original Air Date: Feb 4, 2013

So if I'm interpreting this right, we would have the 2-on-1 in Vietnam, correct? This means only one girl gets cut at the RC, yes?...because the first girl is let go on the 2-on-1.

Even though I put Renee's floating lantern date in our chart for Seoul, I'm believing this to be in Vietnam. I've been googling floating lanterns in Seoul and in Da Nang. The lanterns that Renee floats look more like the Vietnamese ones. We've also put Nikki's date in Vietnam. Nikki's is definitely the 1-on-1 because we have her rappelling and we have an evening portion to the date.

Sooo...would that mean Renee is sharing her date? Could the other girl have been let go already, leaving Juan to finish out the date with Renee? Or perhaps Renee's date is actually in Seoul. Thoughts?

Can anyone explain the breakdown for the 9 dates in NZ? How many of each kind of date? Will any girl miss out on any of the possible date? My mind says not likely because why bring her to NZ then.

I was trying to get episode descriptions from previous seasons but will try and post later.

By this time none of the girls go dateless like they do in ep2 or ep3.

Keep in mind that some seasons contestants have "returned" or the lead has chosen to eliminate additional guys/gals so that could throw some numbers off.

Sean's description

Season 17, Episode 6

Episode Synopsis: Sean and the nine remaining bachelorettes head to the Canadian Rockies, where seven of the ladies take an ice-cold dip in Lake Louise. Elsewhere, adventurous one-on-one encounters unfold, including a monster-snow-truck ride on a glacier and a date that involves rappelling down a cliff. Three women are sent home after the rose ceremony. Original Air Date: Feb 5, 2013


This is when Cat got her first 1on1 and Des got her second one. I wonder if this season is going to have a similar trend with 1 bachelorette getting her second 1on1 while another has her first.

Maybe Clare is not in line for the next 'ette. Andi just described her as a ticking time bomb in that last preview. Where are the extended previews on Grapevine? Are they not doing them anymore?

Is this a new preview Grace?

So either Clare is getting a F1 with a "bad" edit or not she is F1 at all. hmmm.

Of course, we are only getting PART of the story. A lot depends on whether or not Clare discusses this with Juan. I do find it downright peculiar that Nikki doesn't seem bothered at all as if she's just one-of-the-girls. Even though she's one of my key frontrunners, something tells me that Juan is more into her than she is with him... a.k.a. Des/Brooks. Yet we shall see how this plays out.

In case it even matters, here's another "ticking time bomb" profiled in an episode that ET reviewed AFTER the episode was shown in July 2011. Yet the promos shown before-hand milked the jealousy all the way to the bank. In fact, we had a full thread on this messageboard stretching pages and pages that summer with one "spoiler source" insisting that Ben Flajnik was F1 because Ashley felt threatened by JP as a "wife beater". Those were the good ol' days!

I follow Robert Mills on twitter. He had a couple of tweets yesterday afternoon that points towards something interesting in the storyline. Obviously, being a producer of the show, he's not going to be spoiling the show. However, I wasn't sure if I allowed to post his tweets. Does anyone have a problem with that?

Litta, i think I'm probably the most sensitive to the the threat of too much information (spoilers). I wouldn't have a problem seeing the tweets so probably no one else would either. But, use your best judgement.

I agree! I am going the most spoiler free ever for at least the first month and possibly all season. I am avoiding trying to figure out who goes when or even who goes on dates. But ... I do follow
JuanPa, Chris H and Mills on Twitter so think that is great to share. I still enjoy coming here to discuss past episode, the edit and show in general plus current non spoiler interviews, recaps and blogs.

Okay, I'll simply post, but I'll refrain from any interpretation since you guys are trying to go as unspoiled as possible. I'm forming ideas based what we've seen/discussed on the screen cap thread, but I won't share them here.

Robert Mills ‏@Millsy11374 25h We've just announced another #Bachelor 2 night event! Hometowns and fantasy suite episode will air back to back Mon and Tues 2/24 and 2/25!

This next one is in response to WetPaint about the above tweet. Like I said, Millsy is a producer so I don't think he would tweet anything leading towards a spoiler, but just in case you don't want to know his response, I've hidden it.

response tweet:

Thanks for posting the tweet but putting the response tweet hidden Litta! Does he give a name in his response tweet? I'm trying to determine if it is something I want to know
