Bachelor Australia - Season 4 - Richie Strahan - Filming Schedule - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

So if we have two group dates we have possibly had 3? Rose ceremonies?

The podcast is up, the mention of the Bachelor is at around 12.35, it's very brief though, they just say that it's in its second week of filming, and a group date was spotted rollerblading at Bass Hill (which is just a suburb in the middle of Sydney) yesterday, which would have made it March 23 that it was filmed, and then they go on to something else.

How many weeks do they typically film Bachelor Australia? Sorry I forget the previous seasons. Seems to me it was a long time?

Per casting for S4 it seems from March - end of May but I am not sure if that includes promo/media/post-ITMs etc so not just M&G through FRC?

Filming will roughly commence in March of 2016 and may take up to 12 weeks.

For Season 3, Sam Wood filmed early March through May 16 (IIRC) so if the same it seems Richie has a long time to go still I think?

Filming of episodes 2 and 3 possibilities... and 2 weeks of filming as of March 23:

Ep 2
SD = First single date on beach on March 14 (sleuthed above and in NW mag [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.])
GD = Woman's Day photoshoot so similar to S3's photoshoot featured in Ep 2 (in Woman's Day  [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.])

Ep 3
SD = Second single date (featured in OK magazine [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.])
GD = Rollerblading Bass Hill in Sydney on March 23 (sleuthed by DSP above and here)

The filming date for the group date for episode 2 (50's swimming date) was March 16 as stated in this article

Based on the 4 April DM article the total number of girls spoiled (many names unknown still) that are on the show:

2 single date girls (1st SD on March 14, 2nd SD on March ?)
8 girls from photoshoot date (1st GD, March 16)
4 new girls on possible group date (rain DM article, could be fewer than this)
= total of 14 girls from 19 girls on the show (unless one of those are overlapping).

This means possibly 5 girls no photos of yet/not seen of total 19 (could be b/c eliminated first night RC).
It also means that it is possible that there are 14 (or fewer) girls on the show since March 14 was first single date.

ETA: adding pics from Group Date here - may be all the remaining girls (see post below in thread regarding diimex.com).

Possible filming schedule: March 10 - currently April 5   ***Week 4 of filming***
(not sure if breaks on weekends? Sam F's season they didn't film on weekends)


March 10 = Richie officially announced as Bachelor
Before March 10, no later than March 12 = Limo entrances, First Cocktail Party, 1st Rose Ceremony. White Rose? FIR?
March 14 = 1st single date on beach (in NW mag [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.])
March 16 = Group date Woman's Day 50's photoshoot (in Woman's Day [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.])
? March 17/18 = 2nd Rose Ceremony possibly
*****End of Week 1 of filming*****
? March 21 = 2nd single date (in OK magazine [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.])
March 23 = 2nd Group Date rollerblading Bass Hill in Sydney (Nova radio here)
? March 24/25 = 3rd Rose Ceremony possibly
*****End of Week 2 of filming*****
? March 26-31 = 3rd Single date/Group dates ???
? March 31/April 1 = 4th Rose Ceremony possibly
*****End of Week 3 of filming*****
? April 4 = 10 girls with luggage possible GD or location change (DM spoiled here)
? April 5 = possible 4th+ single date (Keira, spoiled by New Idea mag here)


Based on this they should have completed week 3 of filming (SDs/GDs/RCs) and beginning week 4 of filming.

Filming schedule comparison: Richie S4 and Sam Wood S3

- Richie's S4 had 19 contestants same number as Sam Wood S3.
- Week 4 is currently beginning to film for S4.
- Week 4 for S3 there were 13 girls still on the show.
- Based on this chart, possible that there are 13 girls on the show still for Richie S4.
- This means 10 girls shown via DM with luggage so possible 3 girls MIA atm (may already be spoiled).

Week 4 of Sam Wood's S3 had 13 girls beginning of Week 4 so possibly 13 girls for Richie's season 4 in Week 4 (beginning April 4).

Group date 3?

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I checked diimex.com and was able to find out the following:
- Possibly all remaining girls (so minimum of 10 girls) were seen on Sunday, April 3.
- I am thinking they don't film on weekends (as they didn't on Sam Frost's season and possibly SW's season too).
- Likely SD, GDS, and RC in one week... then off weekend/traveling... then SD/GD/RC, etc...
