Bachelorette 13 - Rachel Lindsay - General Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Catdwoman50 wrote:When do filming start? How many episodes/weeks is the normal ette schedule?  Rachel says they start in 2 weeks.  So I guess that is why the announcement is early so the cast would be more diverse also.

Did she say they start filming in two weeks on Kimmel?

I haven't watched, did they say anything about spoiling this season with this announcement?

Rachel is on GMA now



@tjholmes
I've NEVER seen a single episode of @BachelorABC or @BacheloretteABC. I won't miss an episode this upcoming season. @GMA @TheRachLindsay

Which picture?

The photo she took by Iamdjsouljah I saw it in the commerical from the video piece.


@nutty1 no.

She came across really well on Kimmel, I thought. Relaxed, confident and sexy. Can't wait! Just hope they don't cast a bunch of losers for her.

No it will start filming in a few weeks.

Which it was Raven she would have been so much fun

This makes me hopeful that they'll find some really good classy men for her. Fingers crossed! 

Hopefully!
The reverse tells me they don't have enough decent guys specifically for her yet. Which, IMO, sucks.

Micheal G is trying to go on her season but it seems she does not want any Lawyers . So said fleiss.

I think they've got a lot of guys who are similar to JoJo's cast, and who would've been fine for a Raven season. But I don't see Rachel ending up with a personal trainer/bartender/model in his 20s, so IMO they're looking for 4 or 5 quality guys that she would actually date in real life. Then they can fill up the rest of the cast with the 'typical' contestants who will make good TV. JMO.

If MF liked Mike G, it would happen regardless,IMO. One more clown in the clown car seldom matters.
Let the battles begin.

From my past understanding, when people audition for the show, if they don't make the specific season they applied for, they can go into a prospective cast pool for a future season. So the show usually has plenty of cast to draw from.
However, this pool may not have an abundance of certain traits whether it be age, appearance or job description.
So besides, the guys who have already applied, tptb can go to this pool and see if there is anyone they think would be great for that particular season.
Perhaps someone that was a past cast person would also make for a great current season. They can draw from past cast. IMO.
Then finally, if production is still sparse on good cast they can make that final push for auditions.
IMO--it's not necessarily the show and casting who are at fault. You can't spin gold from straw is my opinion. If only flexible professionals apply--waiters, wannabe actors, models, businessmen, that's what ya get.
Not many people can approach their employer 3 weeks before desiring an extended LOA and be greeted with open arms. To me that is a huge obstacle.
