I can't believe that my friend is going on the Bachelorette in just 1 week! She's a lucky lady, whoever she is. #MattandBecca #MattandCaila

Only Matt she follows, this might be him: @mccarm14

Jeepers: can you move that post to potential contestants. Thanks.

Caila was seen at some cold press place in Hudson yesterday ( posted on IG). Shouldn't she be in LA by now, if filming starts next week? if tanner' s tweet is anything to go by, the guys should be there, too.

I'm pretty sure filming starts on the 17th. Night 1 tends to be a couple of days after the finale, and usually a Thursday. I don't see why they'd change it to the Saturday beforehand especially since Caila would need to be at the ATFR which would disrupt filming of the first date.

Tecnnically, Cailia would not need to be at the ATFR. She could have a taped or skyped intro.  
Being that there is no filming being reported or action at the Mansion, and it is March 9th my guess is it would not be for at least another week.

I don't see why they'd start before ATFR. Seems like a hassle for no real reason. They can start airing the Bachelorette season before it's even finished filming if need be.

I do wonder about JoJo still, since she's been pretty MIA after that airport sighting. If she'd gone to see Becca in Louisiana then there would definitely be some pics by now. I'd bet money on her being in LA right now.

Feasibly, it could start on the 11/12 as the past 2 seasons has.  I have kept the filming schedules from Jillian's onward.  Of that only 2 started on the 16/17.  The rest either started on the 12/13 or the 13/14.  Here's the past filming dates:

S11........thurs 12.........fri 13
S10 .......wed 12
S9 .........thurs 14
S8 ........wed 14
S7.........tues 15/ wed 16
S6.........sat 13
S5.........mon 16

IMO, if Caila is in Hudson(as rumoured) and not in LA as I would expect her to be by now and Jojo is in LA, maybe the Hudson filming was a rouse?  Wasn't there also speculation about Jojo doing filming around DFW or at least filming was happening around there?  IF so, could we be looking at another dual start ala Britt and Kaitlyn.....Britt being the unpopular one and Kait being the popular one? and this season Caila is the unpopular one?

Sorry for quoting myself, but I do think that this may help as far as statistics go.

That is my guess too. That same night, she started following Caitymonster on Instagram. She seems to be a producer. She is in a picture with Chris Harisson, Peter Scalettar.. I can't tell for sure whether she is a producer with the show. I agree that Jojo has been keeping a low profile since that sighting at the airport.

^^It is rather odd, no one spotted her. She doesn't post much on SM either.

So filming starts on the 17th, correct? It's usually a Thursday.

Or Friday the 18th. Kaitlyn's was a year ago on the 13th which was a Friday. CH said on ATFR that JoJo season airs on May 23rd.

Just watched the AfterBuzz podcast and they said filming began on Thursday.
