It seems like Anna Marshall (confirmed first contestant) may still on the show based on her SM activity as she was last active Jan 10th on FB (filming should have started Jan 14/15 the latest and should be at least 10 days into the season going by S1 filming schedule and casting info from last year).

Some info on Anna:

Anna the first Bachelorette to be announced on the 2016 season
TUESDAY 15 DECEMBER 2015 17:40.


More FM is pleased to announce Nelson-born Anna Marshall as their bachelorette Wildcard winner for season two of The Bachelor New Zealand.

This makes Anna the first Bachelorette to be announced for the 2016 season.

Last year saw More FM Wildcard winner Lisa O’Loughlin become a favourite with the Bachelorettes, with the tears flowing when she departed the bachelorette mansion.

Anna (29) will join the other Bachelorettes vying for the attention of the 2016 Bachelor. After watching the inaugural season, Anna is excited about the opportunity to potentially find true love.

“I've lived my selfish years and absolutely owned them!” says Anna, “Now I'm ready for the next chapters of my ‘life book’ and I feel this is the perfect place to start....Chapter 29 - will she receive a rose?”

Season two of The Bachelor New Zealand is produced by Warner Bros. International Television Production New Zealand and will screen on TV3 in 2016.

I just found Anna's twitter and she tweeted this on Jan 21, so thinking she may have been eliminated then? (unless filming has started later than last year)

A second chance at romance? Zilda Williams 'applies to go on The Bachelor New Zealand' after celebrity psychic says 'this is her year' to find love

She was famously booted from The Bachelor mansion on the first night, lasting just one episode of the hit reality series.

But now it looks like Zilda Williams could get a second chance at love, with sources revealing to the Daily Mail Australia that the international glamour model has applied to appear on season two of The Bachelor New Zealand.

The 32-year-old was born in New Zealand, but later relocated to the Gold Coast for her modelling career - which led to her gracing the pages of Zoo magazine, FHM, and Maxim.

I think the new NZ Bachelor has been sleuthed!

It's on the NZ Stuff website. I'll try and attach the link but I haven't done it in ages and I might muck it up.

I think he's quite dishy. And he has a dog! - a big plus in my book and he's a tennis player -  another plus.

Bachelor Jordan Mauger could be more than the love of Alicia Cowan's life - he might just keep her from going "crazy".

The 27-year-old from Te Awamutu has 20 pets including a miniature pony, pigs, sheep and a three-legged cat - but true love has evaded her.

Now it's time to settle down and she's not about to let a golden opportunity pass her by, Alicia told Woman's Day.

"I'm looking for my best friend, the love of my life, and I can't wait to find him. I see a lot of potential in Jordan."
