Bachelorette Australia - Season 7 - Brooke Blurton - General Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Not sure how they can wrap up with the filming of the Bachelorette when Brooke is in WA.

According to Bev McGarvey :

'We were lucky enough that we finished Masked Singer, Making It is in the can, Bachelorette‘s just about finished, Bachelor was finished'

Yeah I can't see NSW coming out of lockdown anytime soon. Might need a greenscreen for the FRC.

How are you going @Enough are you managing OK? Lockdowns suck (but the alternative sucks more).

@Bobette Thanks for asking. I am ok. Not much different to what I have been doing for the past 18 months. Out to the shops once a week, out for my daily walk. I have been so tempted to check out the Bach Mansion but cant do as I dont want to travel more than 5km! Maybe miss the occasional going out for dinner

Awww that's good I'm glad you're OK. You'll have to catch up on lots of dinners in 2022!

I really wonder how they're going to finish filming this season with Brooke still in WA. Guess they must have kept the top contenders in NSW?  If F1 is from Vic they're going have trouble getting home after the borders tighten even further tonight.  I think they've given residents like 6 hrs to get back across state lines...

ETA:  Sportsbet might want to consider revising these odds.

Queensland has now overtaken Victoria on Sportsbet.

Well isn't that interesting.  Noted.

Also good luck getting back across that border F1.

Just noting that Sportsbet have removed the market for Brooke's season.  

This hints at some confusion/complications with the ending IMO which probably hasn't been filmed yet.  Border closures would be causing havoc for them if the intended F1 isn't from NSW - anyone leaving QLD right now to film an FRC would likely not be allowed back in.  

There are people with cancer who can't even get back across the border for essential treatment so I can't see them classing reality TV as "essential work" (though apparently being the girlfriend of a rugby player is "essential work" so IDK maybe they would...)

Can you imagine if she had to choose a NSW F1 because no one else was willing to risk leaving their home state?  Could require a very dramatic edit shift....

The other thing Brooke has to consider is once she leave WA, she wont be able to go back

Yep, it's going to be a real headache for production IMO. I can't see Mark or Anna relaxing their borders with NSW anytime soon.

Noting that Brooke is still in WA (or was as of yesterday and I can't see her rushing straight back to NSW unless ordered to).

I don't think she'd have to quarantine in NSW but I imagine it would still be at least a week till they can get filming wrapped?

Sportsbet are still predicting a QLD F1 and the odds have narrowed so they seem pretty confident but we need to keep watch

I really, really hope Ten don't use this sad occasion as ~drama~ for ratings. They can acknowledge it, but it should be with some dignity and respect for Brooke and Brooke's family - not as some crass ~plot twist~ or something. I'll be completely done with the AU franchise if they do.
