Bachelor 25 - Matt James - Filming Schedule - Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

I know we might have a long way to go but we can discuss the potential filming schedule or post any SM with regards to a possible start date for filming.

Very excited to begin filming #TheBachelorette and #TheBachelor !!!

"and" the Bachelorette?  Are they filming both seasons concurrently?

@Bobette

That's what I'm wondering. They IMHO would be able to hire enough crew to do so, and God knows, CH isn't overtaxed in hosting duties. His schedule could be made to accommodate both. I could see how it could work. The question is will they?

My first reaction was they are excited that California can now resume Television and filming as per your post @pavalygurl.

I'm thinking they will start Clare's season soon (that's why I've been updating the contestant threads SM) and Matt's season will start filming as usual in September.

Maybe they will start airing Clare's season while Matt's is being filmed?

They certainly could IMO.  They've already announced Matt and it's not like they need to arrange any overseas destinations.    They'd need a second mansion - maybe even in another state?  If Matt suddenly drops off the radar something's cooking IMO.

Could be they're hedging their bets to film while they can. With this virus, it's very difficult to plan anything, not knowing if there will be another flare-up and consequent shut down.

'Matt‘s season, we’re hoping to start on time which would be the end of September and we’ll see where the world is. 'Maybe there’s some travel, maybe it’s just domestic, maybe it’s by bus. We’ll see. If things aren’t that safe, we’ll shoot it the same way where everybody is safe, they’re tested, they’re quarantined and then you can having kissing and arguing and everything else.'

Maybe it's... BY BUS???     I'm sure the girls will just love that idea and not whine or complain at all.  

Yeah I don't care if they are tested and quarantined or not, . Food has to come from somewhere, all the material for the set, props, flowers and so forth has to come from somewhere, the bus has to come from somewhere, there has to be a bus driver, is he getting tested and quarantined too? No freakin way would I be playing tonsil hockey with anyone!

@GuardianAngel. Scripted TV shows are going to forgo the kissing -- if it isn't safe for the actors than why is it safe for Bachelor Franchise contestants? LOL

Also I love the way Mills is talking about California as if it's some kind of "safezone"?  I just checked out the current situation on Worldometer and virus cases there are rising exponentially so if anything it might be safer to hightail it out of California IMO!

ETA: Lowest case states by population.  Bachelor: Hawaii edition?    Is the beach where they filmed LOST available?

@Bobette Hawaii would be a great idea IMO, there are many variety of landscape, from volcanic to beach, to jungle like tropical vibe, between all the islands, great for remoteness and privacy, lots of outdoors activities Still on US soil, so no problem with custom or sudden political changes... there are many resorts that would fit their criteria I would think.
I’d love to see that. That means they probably won’t!
