The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - Sleuthing - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*- #3

The schedule is only a guide. It can't be written in stone due to different time zones and travel locations. AL tries to get it as accurately as possible with the info she bases it on.

That's fine. I was just wondering if it's possible this is still episode 5 with the RC actually being today.

What I think is happening is when they've traveled the day after the rose ceremony, they may have been filming a date later that day after they arrived and that's why it seems confusing. So the schedule from the Vegas rose ceremony to right now could be this:

Episode 4 - Vegas
10/8 - Rose ceremony

Episode 5 - Bahamas
10/9 - Travel to Bahamas and a date later in the day
10/10 - Date
10/11 - Date
10/12 -Rose ceremony

Episode 6 - Mexico
10/13 - Travel to Mexico and fashion show date later that night

I hope this is the case.

Bluwavz, that schedule is possible but I think it's definitely pushing it in terms of travel. I think it's more likely that they took 2 days off Friday 10/9 and Saturday 10/10 or maybe shot some B-roll on Saturday as they have done in the past. That would mean:

Sunday 10/11: date
Monday 10/12: date
Tuesday 10/13: date
Wednesday 10/14: RC

Also, we know that Episode 7 will be filmed in Warsaw bc that will be before Episode 8 which is hometowns. And the filming in Warsaw doesn't start until the 10/24(ish) so leaves us about 10 days before Episode 7. Which is why I think it's too early for them to already be on Episode 6

I know it's pushing it on the travel and it doesn't make much sense if they'll be filming in Warsaw, IN on the 24th for episode 7, but why travel to Mexico just for one date on the 13th and a rose ceremony on the 14th? We know they were in the Bahamas on the 10th and the 11th. Why would they film episode 5 in both the Bahamas and Mexico?

Helicopter ride to Mexico?

FYI: IF they were in the Bahamas and then flew to Mexico City just for the date the flight time is about 3 hours.

Maybe they didn't find it to be safe to film a whole episode in Mexico City so they just had the one date there?

Oh in that case I can buy that they would have one date there then. That would make a lot more sense than what I was proposing.

It is a lot to have travel and dates on the same day. It that's the case, I hope Ben isn't too worn out by now.

It may be like you said though, just a helicopter ride for the fashion show date in Mexico City and then there could be a rose ceremony tonight back in the Bahamas. We'll see where they end up tomorrow or the day after.

If it's fashion week, some of the shows could be during the day. That could still leave time for a rose ceremony in the evening. How often has the lead cancelled the party and just gone straight to the ceremony, and since the number of women has decreased, the rose ceremony could be fairly short. Just another possibility.
