Bachelorette New Zealand - Season 1 - Dr Lesina Nakhid-Schuster - Lily McManus - *Sleuthing Spoilers *

Just noting there is exposed brick wall in SCs other than the Kurt/Aaron ones; might be common in Argentina.  









These are definitely the same location IMO (same window frames, same wooden shelving across the windows)





Also it looks like Daryl is in this SC - same clothes he wore at the DQ GD IMO.  If so must be in NZ IMO during the next 2-3 eps.





That would fit with the RC where Steve, Quinn and George have roses; Daryl, Dom and Marcus eliminated before they go O/S IMO.

Also noting Lesina's hair differs significantly between some SCs (the ones with longer/thicker hair were possibly shot post-FRC IMO)

During filming IMO:



Possibly Post-FRC IMO:



One last note: I haven't seen anything that resembles a HTD so I'm wondering if they filmed the whole season incl FRC in Argentina?

Hopefully we'll get an extended promo after Lily enters the picture.

ETA:  Paintball location is Asylum Paintball IMO

@Bobette Regarding hometown dates (HTDs): with two bettes the logistics changes a lot. So I could see them skipping and changing a lot of the usual stuff this season.

I honestly can’t even remember if they had hometowns for the Sweden dual leads (I don’t believe so and can’t remember families arriving in South Africa either). Neither were there MTP if I remember correctly.

Two different leads with hometowns is not feasible when it comes to cost and filming time-wise. They’d have to cut that down and can’t have F4 for each of them (total of 8).

So I suspect things are going to be very different this season when it comes to HTD (hometown date) and MTP (meet the parents).

I’d be surprised if there are any Screencaps showing anything like HTDs. If there isn’t it’s likely there may not be. Otherwise it could be maybe one or two do but even then I don’t see how they’d do all that filming wise and certainly not back in NZ.

Going back to the post in the other thread about velvet jackets etc.

I don’t think either of these outfits are FRC outfits.

I can’t recall any Bette/bach show having ITMs of F1 or F2 in their frc outfits. Even post-finale, the ITMs are never done in the finale outfit fwir.

I think the latest these outfits could be would be from cocktail party/RC for the F3 into F2. Otherwise they are earlier than that and from a different cocktail party/RC. Imo

If I had to guess, if Aaron’s is heartbreak then it would be for him let go as F3. Otherwise I’d think if they are around the same time it’s when they’re being asked if they are the one at the end how would they feel etc.

Just confirming this is Tavita - tatts match.

@Bobette So not a new guy then?! We seem to have the same cast, so far anyway. So it will be divided between the two Bachelorettes. I’m still not sure how this all gonna work...same date or separate ones all the times. That’s double the filming crew!???

ETA in this above example, we see another leg and another one in a pair of jeans. A woman ( Lily? ) and a guy?

No not a new guy - the tattoos match Tavita, he just looks different in a hat.     And yes that's Lily next to Lesina IMO.

There still might be a few intruders though.  The original casting call said they had 25 spots to fill (+/- The Mole, IDK).

Today, TVNZ opened the application process for "single men aged 18+" who are looking for love and/or fleeting shallow fame to appear on their upcoming reality dating show, The Bachelorette.

They have 25 spots to fill so interested males hungry for love - or more instagram followers - can register at tvnz.co.nz/bachelorette. May the odds be ever in your favour.

Wow we've seen so much of the preview already and it doesn't look like we're getting another.

Found a match for another Buenos Aires SC in case it becomes relevant: Palermo Soho

This is also Argentina, they are standing on Puente da la Mujer in Puerto Madre, Buenos Aires.

So I haven't watched episodes yet, but following here, it seems most s/caps are already seen, we have Logan's and Aaron's date, than two group dates (painting and in front of Bar Sur) in Argentina and that is it?
Not counting ITM's.

Nice one @lettore - I agree it's a match.

Yeah so the only SCs we have of Lesina on dates in Argentina are with Logan and Aaron.  I still think Kurt's F1 though - they're just burying him deep IMO.

And nothing at all showing Lily on dates other than distance shots - makes me think they're not even bothering to manufacture a romantic storyline for her.

There was a promo at end of last episode which showed Lily and Quinn kissing on SD, and also Lily and Jesse on a SD which looked like in a bath tub?

Couldn't see Glenn, Connor of Flynn so they all next IMO.

Oh OK cool, thanks @Jordan44.  I haven't watched episode 7 yet - will take SCs when I do.

Mid-season Promo.  Not in order - will sort out later.  

Very little Flynn so I presume he'll be one of the first sent home.  Nothing of Kurt that I could see, which ordinarily would pretty much rule him out as F1 IMO, BUT! a lot of what's shown seems to be related to "drama", which F1 is usually not a part of anyway.  

Also, there seems to be a lot of GD/CP footage and not many SDs, so it's still possible IMO Kurt gets dates with her which are not being shown.  I'd guess there's at least one dancing date (two separate SCs of professionals dancing) but no SCs of Lesina dancing with anyone...

So hypothetically, I could see Lesina getting a dancing date with Kurt.  That would definitely "heat up" their current friend zone status, and considering she was putting the little dancing lady emoji in her IG posts pre-show that would be another sign pointing to him being F1 IMO.

Mainly though I am stubborn and there are too many other signs pointing to him for me to accept he's not F1 until proven otherwise.    Main players for Lily will obviously be Terence, Jesse and Quinn as previously guessed and I'm still tipping she'll opt to leave single.

ETA:  Oh yeah and Aaron dropping the L-bomb is the nail in his F2 coffin IMO.
