Episode Guide - Discussion

If they can't air a new episode due to the holiday, I would rather they do something similar to Survivor and show us some never-before-seen footage or something. It will be dumb to watch the same show two weeks in a row.

How about unedited footage of Ash and JP? :giggle:

Have they ever shown a repeat episode back to back weeks like this before?

Not that I know of.. but I don't recall the 4th of July being on a Monday during a Bachelorette season either.

So wait...they are skipping a week? How in the heck is that going to work? Constantine is going to be eliminated on August 1st also??

I don't think they would skip an episode, it's too important to the "story" to do that, maybe show it on another night like Tuesday instead of Monday??

After listening to Dino last night talk about hometowns, is it possible there are no hometown dates for all the final 4? I say this because if you read the original premiere press release they mention her family before the bachelors families and I just don't see him taking her to visit his family at this point. Do we have any confirmation that they filmed a hometown date with Dino? Besides RS!!

Press release "Two lucky men will meet her family, and she will visit the final bachelors' hometowns for a slice of their lives in an effort to determine the man with whom she is most compatible -- "

I may be way off (I am a newbie) !!!

Somewhere on here (haha) there was filming confirmed at his restaurant for the show during the scheduled HTD block of time. Sorry I don't remember exactly where but if I come across it I'll send it your way.

MASH - UP OF DEFINITIVE EPISODE DESCRIPTIONS (FROM ABC PRESS RELEASES) AND EPISODE GUIDES (FROM TV GUIDE/FUTON CRITIC, VERY RELIABLE)

[my conclusion? Fiji is one episode, not two and Steve Carbone has his episode numbering and post HTD eliminations screwed up some how. He has one too many episodes.]

EPI 705 (6/20):"Traveling half-way around the world, Ashley and her remaining men visit beautiful and exotic Thailand, where they renovate a local orphanage in Phuket during a day of giving back. Moving north to Chiang Mai, it's a whirlwind for the Bachelorette and one special guy, exploring the bustling city, shopping in an outdoor market and visiting an enormous ancient temple. The exciting journey ends for the couple with Thai music, dancers and fire eaters. And there is nothing like eight men attempting to impress Ashley as they compete against each other in the popular sport of Muay Thai boxing, but one overly gung ho man ends up in the local emergency room. "

EPI 706 (AIRS 6/27): "Hong Kong, where traditional Chinese customs and the mystique of the East reside side-by-side with contemporary urban life, opens its doors to the Bachelorette and the men. Ashley and one of her suitors head to Kowloon. They spend an exhilarating day together which culminates with them boarding a traditional junk boat for a romantic dinner. And Hong Kong's Stanley Beach is the backdrop for a thrilling dragon boat race between the intensely competitive men. " [8 TO 6]

7/4 REPEAT OF 706 (FUTON CRITIC, TVGUIDE)

epi 707 (AIRS 7/11): "Ashley's glamorous Asian adventure ends with a trip to Taiwan, including a trip to Chiang Kai Shek Square, where the Bachelorette and the men join a group of people doing Tai Chi before exploring the breathtaking Longshan Temple. "[6 TO 4]

EPI 708 (7/18) " she will visit the final bachelors' hometowns for a slice of their lives in an effort to determine the man with whom she is most compatible " [4 TO 3?? OR WHAT??]

MEN TELL ALL (AIRS 7/25) -- BEFORE FANTASY DATE EPISODE WOULD HAVE TIME TO AIR.

epi 709 (AIRS 8/01), three lucky men travel with Ashley to the idyllic Fiji Islands for some of the most exotic and sensual overnight dates ever. ... Two lucky men will meet her family, and ... [THAT'S ALL THEY SAY IN THE PRESS RELEASE]
-- Steve Carbone states that there are 3 overnight dates, and Constantine is eliminated (OR eliminates himself, Carbone doesn't know), and Ryan Park returns.
AFTR [AIRS 8/01]

It seems really weird to combine the FD with the other Fiji dates, but I guess that makes sense. Is it somehow possible that the FD episode and MTA could be on the same night? I mean the MTA is useless anyway, so they could do that.

Constantine might quit or (my guess) never makes it to Fiji. (who are the three men in FIji -- only Ben [waterfall jump], JP [spoilers of the ending] and Ryan [railing] are confirmed in any way)

Ryan comes back for some weird reason, but she sends him away.
Leaving just Ben and JP to meet her family.

I wish I'd been keeping my old filming schedule. That would answer some mysteries -- how long were they in Fiji total?
