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

@Kashathediva after the hometown dates do they go back to LA and wait in a hotel until the RC?

It depends on where the departure city is. Sometimes it is LA. Sometimes it is NYC. Sometimes they stay in their own city until they need to be at the departure city and then go to that city for the RC.

@Kashathediva Do they stay with their families or with a handler in a hotel/

They do not stay with their families. The only time they are with their families is during the period of filming. They are with their handlers pretty much of the time period.

I'm really disappointed in myself right now, I've been a huge fan of this franchise since the beginning. But .... I just can't work up any enthusiasm for this one, and I'm honestly not sure why. There have been instances where I really wasn't bothered (Jake, the Prince and Ali) but I still sleuthed and read spoilers. I don't know if it's because of what has happened with the "squad" since the end of last season because I liked Rachel during that season, or if I'm just not that interested, especially after watching the emphasis on multi-cultural marriage that was placed on the HTD. I'm concerned that this season will be all about the differences between races, I will probably watch the beginning but if I see too much of that kind of drama going on, then I'm going to be done.

Not sure if this has been discussed but with MTP in Dallas, I wonder if they would have 3 guys involved? They typically go overseas/islands etc. for the FD and LCD.  I am thinking they will have the MTP before leaving the continental US. So, they have one/two more HTDs, the RC and then Dallas for MTP? They could go to Denver/Aspen after they leave the Midwest (Detroit?), LA for RC and then Dallas? Just an idea.

@pavalygurl....to support your theory (others also speculated similar that it could be 3 HTDs but with Dean as the last one); GA has posted the itinerary into Dallas from Milwaukee and Madison airports respectively depending on where they flew out after Peter's HTD. Check out Jack Stone's thread for the itinerary. If your theory is correct and it's only 3 HTDs; then Jack will be the 3rd HTD IMO. However I think it's 4 HTDs just now sure who the remaining 2 are.

Thanks merci. If Jack is still in, they could still have 4 HTDs with Denver, then Jack in Dallas and RC in Dallas. Maybe. I don't see them going to Dallas, leaving for LA or wherever and then coming back to Dallas before going for FDs etc. I am trying to remember where they have had this epi RC other than LA/NYC. Did they have one in Utah?

You have every right to do you; but if you honestly feel others are focusing on the wrong things in life...then be a part of that change in the right direction. I understand and respect your opinion. Enjoy.

@pavalygurl....Kaitlyn's season was an anomaly where they flew the F2 to Utah for the MTP and then the F2 went back to the mansion in LA for the FRC.

IA with you though....they could do the last RC before in Dallas before going ovrerseas again. I just don't know the combination that gets them there yet...the pic of the 3rd HTD tomorrow Monday if it leaks should help us understanding better how things will pan out with the RCs.

Maybe they end up flipping fantasy dates and the F3, and they do the MTP for the F3 in Dallas after hometowns? Because it doesn't make sense for them to fly out for the fantasy dates just to fly back to Dallas for the F2. They could combine fantasy dates/LCD for the F2. I think I remember that they used to do overnights for the F2 (in addition to overnights for the fantasy dates) but stopped somewhere along the way.

Fantasy dates at one time used to be different cities for each of the final ones... all here in the USA.
