Didn't Kaitlyn scr*w that up for us? Were they not supposed to go to Patagonia on her season?

That's what the ABC exec told Juliet/Jacoby of Grantland podcasts, but RS did a follow-up and he said it had nothing to do with the Nick sex. Things just fell through.

That would have been wonderful to see.

I don't know that RS knows the truth on that.

I tend to agree with you Kasha. Are we aware of any other instance when "things fall through" at the last minute? I would think the producers lock these kind of things down well ahead of time. Barring any natural disaster, illness, travel difficulties, I don't see things just falling through. On the other hand, I don't think we have ever had a lead who so blatantly disregarded rules about spending time/having sex with her guys or an F1 who was so paranoid and demanding.

I guess we'll never know! Just know that the ABC exec who told them that Patagonia plans fell through because of Nick sex was the same one who told them that Kaitlyn/Ben sex absolutely happened. I know a lot of people were reluctant to believe the latter, so I don't know if that impacts whether or not you believe him about the reasons about Patagonia not happening.

Anyway, they should be traveling soon, right? I hope Ben doesn't get jipped with the locations. He was already on Kaitlyn's low-budget season. He deserves good locations!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it is my understanding that there is a rose ceremony every 4 days, so essentially 4 days per episode. If that is in fact true, then we had one rose ceremony last Friday, another one on Tuesday, and another one tonight. So if 3 episodes/rose ceremonies are in the can, then they should start traveling tomorrow (start of episode 4). Frustrating that there has been so little about the dates on SM

That seems to be right about the early episodes before they travel, jen10s. It does seem to be pretty quiet on SM so far.

I don't know if RS was right but it never made sense for them to cancel a location just because Kaitlyn had sex with Nick. It's not like it hasn't happened before, just this time they chose to highlight it. They could have done what they did just as easily at the next location imo.

This is my first time on here so thought I would share some interesting info I discovered. I was looking through Ben's instagram from when he was in Austin, Texas for the top golf event. There is a pic of him with 2 of his buddies at what looks to be a bar. Ben is sitting on the back of a chair at the table with his arm around one of his buddies. Then if you look at his friend's wife's instagram bradeeconley95 you will see her and one of the other wives at the same bar and they are with Ben's former girlfriend Shaelin Adams. She's the one he talked about with Kaitlyn. Therefore, they were all there together. However she doesn't seem to be with the group when they all went to Gruene, Tx that same weekend.

Welcome to you, Trixie.

Hello!! Welcome!! We've actually discovered that around the time that it happened.

Ok thanks - thought I was on to something new! LOL

Good for you for sleuthing that out!

I remember some interview that CH gave where he said that because of Kaitlyn doing her own thing and hyper emotionality that they (TPTB) had to reorganize the season mid stride in Ireland.  I assume Patagonia got scraped at that time and that was why they stayed longer in Ireland and then went to Utah for the home towns. I believe with all the cast instability they rushed the season to the fantasy suites and limited hometowns to ensure the lead and F1 did not have an epic melt down before they got a FR ceremony filmed.

I would think that Ben is a rule follower and that his season will have some kind of expanded travel schedule.  I will be shocked if his "proposal" is at the mansion.  JMO
