Bachelorette Australia - Season 4 - Ali Oetjen - Filming schedule - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Post and discuss all info regarding filming schedule here

June 20/21 - filming begins
Aug 26? - FRC?

Since Ali's filming schedule matches Georgia Love's (HERE), it's likely the finale will be filmed soon (Aug 26 or so).

It is now September and I am thinking there is no SM action by Ali (although I am not SM savvy). The media have been very, very quiet ! I wonder what’s going on?

yeah its weird i thought it would be finished and more pap pics would be out??

Agreed - I've been watching Ali's IG like a hawke and there have been zero changes.  

I'm sure one of the first things she'll do when she gets her phone back is go on social media so even if she doesn't post there'd likely be some shift in followers/following at least.  I do think there's more to the Sportsbet developments than just them trolling.  It's too much of a coincidence IMO.

Something's gone down behind the scenes IMO.  Not necessarily saying she walked out but I can definitely see her having some kind of meltdown because the guys aren't "perfect" and not wanting to film the ending or not being able to give a convincing performance.  Oh to be a fly on the wall.

Bobette, what do you honestly think no SM activity could mean? Maybe Ali had a meltdown as you say, and they lost time in filming? Even if, by some fluke (or highly paid inducement) there was one man left standing I can’t imagine Ali being happy with, again, as you so rightly stated, anything less than perfect. To have zero rumours printed in the media, either good or bad, is highly suspicious IMO.

Yes - very suspicious IMO too.  At first I thought they were just easing off on reporting Ali's season because they wanted all attention on Nick, but it's been what now... 3 weeks with nothing at all?  And the last thing DM reported was her having a meltdown re: the boys "gossiping" about her being a cheat (which IMO isn't gossip but actually a perfectly legitimate concern).

I just keep thinking about that pre-season interview when she said she won't settle for anything less than perfect.  That's just so unrealistic.  No one's perfect.  And it's pretty obvious to me that TPTB only cast 1 or 2 people with the Lead in mind and the rest are just BiP fodder/storyline material so if that one person wasn't perfect in Ali's eyes... where would that leave them?

IMO the lack of SM activity may mean they're still shooting.  But what, I don't know.  Perhaps they had to go back and do reshoots because her performance wasn't convincing, as they did with Matty.  Maybe Ali doesn't want to go through with the FRC if neither of the final 2 are "perfect" so they're trying to work out how to wrap the season up without it becoming a total farce.

SM changes 03/09.  Three less on her following list.  I don't think that could change without Ali having access to her account (unless three people suddenly deleted their accounts or blocked her from following them).  So, filming may have wrapped.

I came to post the same and agree. I wouldn't be surprised if filming ended a couple of days ago and before Osher had events he attended (I noticed he had scruff again the last few days).

Just to add, if filming has indeed wrapped I expect some media about Ali being back in Australia but won't be surprised if there is not as much about the dates until later on. Not just because GL's season had media silence with filming (nothing for final weeks) but because this year is the first time BachAU premiered weeks later than its usual timeslot (BachAU seasons 2-5 all aired the end of July, while Nick's season aired mid-August).

With Nick's season premiering weeks later than usual it means Ali season will premiere later than past BetteAU seasons. So it makes sense to me that media focus for Ali's season will be later than usual compared to past bette seasons.

Hopefully when there is more info out we can establish a filming schedule and piece the dates together: beginning of filming, # of contestants, single dates, GDs, HTDs, FDs, LCD, FRC, etc.

Interestingly Ali still hasn’t posted anything on SM. The stats remain the same as 03/09.
