Sorry for double post.  There is no way to tell as she didn’t tag it.  It could be in the mountains in Tennessee or somewhere much farther away.  The trees remind me more of the Appalachian Mountains (smokies or blue ridge, etc) than the Rockies. All imo.

It's in North Carolina. It's part of a 'girls trip' this woman named Ashley TerKeurst Hodges is having. Madi looks so cute getting ready to make breakfast.

@atem I guessed the right area at least (Blue Ridge) It’s a beautiful area great for a girls trip.

So, has ET taken over as the mouthpiece for The Bachelor over the tabloids?

Lauren Zima has been a big fan of Chris H and the franchise for a while. Chris maybe rewarding her and her employer ET for the devotion especially since the're currently dating. People magazine also gets exclusives JMO

t just seems like the tabloids don't have them on the cover as much. I haven't followed this show in awhile.

There are so many other ways viewers can find out what's going on. Entertainment websites, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, Podcasts. Maybe the tabloids don't get enough viewers/readers from the franchise so they've moved on to other stories JMO

ET has covered the franchise for years and Lauren Zima did a lot of that coverage.  That is how they met. They had a professional relationship for a few years then started dating.

FWIW, I agree that most viewers get their news online these days and not in print media.

I saw that Courtney had a deleted scene where she said some weren't there for the right reasons. Did she ever say who she was talking about?

Also the cover stories usually happen later in the season not this early. The lead and F1 are always on People and breakups etc. if a main couple make the tabloids as do weddings, babies, etc. IMO it hasn't changed too much its just grown on the number of outlets that pick things up both in print and online.

@bluwavz  Am I the only one who think this is a first, or at least pretty rare case of open sponsorship from THE Bachelor? I know it’s tied in to win a ‘ taping ‘ of the Bachelor in LA, which is not a real prize since anyone can apply, and it’s most likely for the. WTA OR AFR, but  guess if you’re from outer state it may be tempting?
They sure are setting the example for ‘ shilling’ .
