Take a bow, @AllAboutLove

If intruders are arriving now then the timing is way off considering when Matty began filming is the exact time as Sam Wood's season which means if he followed the same schedule as Sam Wood then Matty would be currently filming MTP, LCD, and FRC this upcoming week.

However, due to Matty being reported to take a break to "recoup" (and not the same type of break for Logies that all past leads did starting with Sam Wood) and adding in what has been reported to me per a source that Matty took additional time to "recoup" it seems that Matty's filming schedule is way off from past seasons.

Hopefully will get info when filming ends so as to help piece together the filming schedule to match with episodes as it is difficult to ascertain the timestamp of photos on articles unless it explicitly states the date.

"Online speculation is growing that the latest series of The Bachelor may be in trouble, as the production appears to be running behind schedule compared to previous years.

According to eagle-eyed fans on the Bachelor And Bachelorette Spoiler Forums, recent photos obtained by The Daily Telegraph suggest 'intruders' have only just been introduced.

As Matthew 'Matty J' Johnson's series began filming in late February - on a similar date as Sam Wood's season back in 2015 - it has been observed that the 'timing is way off'.

At the time, it was also observed by the forum users - who are notorious for 'sleuthing' the results of Bachelor episodes - that filming was progressing more slowly than expected.

It is possible the production is running behind schedule as Matty J was granted a break from filming in April, as Sydney Confidential previously reported."

Seems DM don't realise the photos have since been sleuthed to be (most likely, IMO) Laura and Pigtail Girl, not intruders:

This sounds encouraging?

However, The Bachelor host Osher Günsberg refuted the story, telling NW the rumours were 'utter bulls**t' and claiming their source was 'absolutely full of it'.
'I’m so excited about the prospect of settling down. Timing is such a crucial factor when it comes to making this commitment and I know wholeheartedly, that there’s nothing I want more,' Matty said.

@GuardianAngel I don't buy it. Too many little things adding up for me. Osher has to defend him. What's he going to say: "Yeah, it sucks. We got a lead and he could care less about any of the girls, but we'll edit around that. You won't notice the difference."

How do we know that Matty doesn't care for any of the girls? Has he come out and said it himself? I hardly think Daily Mail is a reliable source - I think media is just annoyed because they have barely any info to go on...so they resort to rehashing the same old thing and IMO making stuff up for a story. I mean if this article was just about Matty reading a book, it wouldn't be a very long article now, would it!! I am more inclined to believe Osher as he has gone into bat for other leads/contestants in the past.

JMO!

JMO DT is being fed set photographers photos by the producers to counter the fact that they know they have been papped! Confidential and JMO are the source. Daily Mail gets the raw material straight from the Paps! The final 2 is being shot right now in another country on the Asian continent! Not sating where but its warm and

@Bobette too true! Based on them not being intruders it makes me think it could still be on track minus a week or two

@Wrecking Ball Thanks for telling us this. Enjoy the board and stay a while.

The picture of Matty J reading is in a very warm location in preparation for the final which is/has been shot with the 2 finalists. The other pix of him punched ng a bag etc are at the "secret" bachy pad. Which is in a derelict house in the north west of Sydney. Bachelor producers running out of money? Who knows but its a damp, paint peeling house that is a a big step down from the last bachy pad at Glenorie which had enough room to land a helicopter and was an exceptional spot for filming but not much more expensive to rent? Go figure?

@Wrecking Ball and thanks for the info.  

That makes a lot more sense filming time-wise that the finale would be around now since they started filming the same time as S3 and S3's finale was mid-May. Plus, I just couldn't see them having the budget to extend the season any longer than a week or two and if finale is this week or so then that seems like it may be the case.
