Bachelor Winter Games - General Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

I'm a little bit interested because of Lesley M and some of the Internationals. I don't see any lasting relationships coming from it, though.

Though I'd love to see it, I have to agree.  "Distance" is a common obstacle for contestants on a regular Bach season, living in the same country, but living across the other side of the world?  Now that's what I call long distance!  

Exceptions could be the NZ/AU contestants since Lily is originally from AU anyway but she seems happy to be in NZ now and the male AU contestant has a business here so don't think he could pack up and move in a hurry.  

I'll settle for short term multi-cultural flings though - it would be a real waste of potential if there weren't any cross-cultural couples, IMO.  We may even get hookups between people who don't even speak the same language.  

Ben, Luke, Clare and Ashley I. Now, there's a cast we won't forget.

This gives me deja-vu to when i was young and travelling the world! holiday romance is the best jmo

Has anyone seen signs of additional cast joining? Just curious.

@notarose I listened to Millsy podcast this week and he said that filming for Winter Games is only 2 weeks (so ending this week?). So I don't see how they'd have more cast join if filming is so short. I guess it's possible but I haven't seen any signs of new cast joining nor any of the sleuthed cast back on SM (so none seeming to be eliminated?). So maybe just the same cast the entire show?

Adding to the above:

I just noticed Ben posted on his IG. So not sure if he is out or just has access to his phone or someone posting for him?  

CH also posted on his IG stories and there seems to be a ton of snow where they are filming. Wonder if that may impact filming at all?

@LeapofFaith, I hate travel, but I live in a city which hosts an annual Arts festival that attracts large numbers of overseas visitors each year, and I spent my 20s *cough* getting to know people from other cultures also.  The best kiss I've ever had in my life was with a man who barely spoke two word of English - 20+ years later and I can remember it to this day!

I have the woman representative from China, her Instagram account: zuo_et..  Her name is Tang Qianlan,
or Tang Zhuoyi. Tang is the family name and Zhuoyi is the first name, but also called Qianlan - it's hard to tell for sure from translations.  I believe she's 25.  She seems to do a lot of traveling and is a microblogger here https://weibo.com/tang543i?refer_flag=1001030102_&is_hot=1

Eric Bigger started following her, and she's following Eric, Dean, Luke, Ben, and Chris Harrison.  Here's her most recent pic, posted 6 days ago:

Great find, @ishkabaha. Instagram has been blocked/banned in China since 2014 (one of many websites that are deemed unsuitable for it's citizens) so the fact that she has an IG account suggests to me she'll be feisty and a bit of a rule breaker.

COOL!
