So we came across a filming of the Bachelor... They're definitely racing tractors in downtown LA. pic.twitter.com/qkOJRQs7SM

Seriously, why not do the first two weeks in Iowa.  Let's see if these girls can really handle it.  They did it for Princess Emily, why not for the Farmer Prince?

With how cheap this show is getting, they probably will do the FRC in Iowa.  LOL

I would actually kind of love to see an FRC in rural Iowa filmed in November, it would be great! We would really see how much the F2 wanted to marry Chris. Seriously, this is a man who is seriously geographically limited. To not have the women even see where they will live before getting engaged might be the most ridiculous yet. And this would beat Shane and Matt and their fakemance and Jason, I propose to any woman who doesn't laugh at how short I am, not to mention Jake, I like Vienna because she reminds me most of a man.

Any clues from this to when they will film in New Mexico, if they air it in February?

Yay finally a picture! I think it's a funny/cute idea. I like to see them doing silly things and having fun with it. A lot of the group dates lately I find pretty fun to watch (though some are equally terrible eg the lie detector thing) which helps offset how much of the contestants humour and personality is usually stripped out in editing to allow for more drama scenes. As long as they aren't trying to embarrass the girls in some way, I think this looks cute.

I do agree with stuckinsc that I was really starting to hope they might film the early episodes in Iowa. If ever there was a season where that would makes sense it's this one. Maybe they'll do it later? with some of the final girls, but I doubt it since lately they really never vary from the cookie cutter formula they can churn out without thinking.

Yeah, but that was it! There seems to be NO interest this season.

There isn't a lot of interest so far this season. 
The autumn season is so beautiful, this would have been ideal showcasing Iowa.  Why race tractors in downtown LA when you could have had some great autumn backdrops in Iowa? Stupid.

Probably in the minority here, but I prefer the limited coverage now. The more publicity, the more I feel I am being forced to like the lead... and a sign that Fleiss & Co. isn't all that confident. This season "feels" like they are more confident. They aren't expecting "wow" ratings necessarily, but are banking on a more serious end result to bring this silly show back to more "respectability". (*cough cough* Excuse me a moment...*cough cough* Phew!) Even though I thought it was silly to bring the Mesnicks, Lowes and future Siegfrieds to Bachelor In Paradise (offering "help" to the sole two couples still standing), it seemed like they were trying to convince us "this process works".

That's actually a pretty expensive group date. The tractor rental, including transporting them to the area, operation instruction for the ladies, liability insurance, damage waivers, etc. plus the expense of closing down an L.A. street for filming all add up to a pricey outing.

And of course the ladies had to be wearing bikinis.

Anyone know where this is?

Just saw @C_Soules at Costco in Van Nuys. He's a doll! I hope he finds TRUE love! pic.twitter.com/XyRdaQ3Cw8

LOL Kasha, you are too silly!

You should see what happened with the AU version...talk about the franchise needing to end already.

I think you may be onto something here. There seem to be more older contestants this season. Usually we have a token one or two in their thirties, but so far the majority of those RS has sleuthed out are around 30 and above.

I'm not on top of the tweets from Fleiss and Co everyday, I could understand the lack of tweets from them, for whatever reason. It's the fan tweets that are lacking that make me wonder.

Usually there are a lot of tweets showing filming but there doesn't seem to be hardly any other than the tractor one and the Costco one atem found.

Now if family and friends don't tweet or IG that will be very telling on whether there's a big clamp down on SM.
