ABC’s hit reality show, The Bachelor, is renowned for its quest to find true love. Each season, a new Bachelor or Bachelorette navigates through a group of hopeful singles, aiming to find their perfect match. But, how long do contestants have to fall in love before the final episode wraps and the life-changing proposal occurs?
In the show’s 28th season, Joey Graziadei took on the coveted role of the Bachelor. After numerous dates and emotional eliminations, Graziadei found love with Kelsey Anderson. Following tradition, Graziadei proposed to Anderson, who joyfully accepted, marking the beginning of their life together.
How long does filming for ‘The Bachelor’ typically last?
So, how long did Graziadei and Anderson actually know each other before getting engaged? The season began filming in the Fall and premiered on January 22. Reality Steve, a reputable source for Bachelor spoilers, indicated that filming for Graziadei’s season started on September 19 and concluded on November 12. This timeline suggests that the entire season was filmed in just under two months, from start to finish, with filming locations ranging from Agoura Hills, California, to Tulum, Mexico.
This quick turnaround is not uncommon in the world of The Bachelor. A similar timeline was observed in Arie Luyendyk Jr.’s season in 2017, which also spanned about two months from filming commencement to the start of promotions.
Interestingly, during the finale of The Bachelor season 28, Jenn Trann was unveiled as the newest Bachelorette. Assuming filming for her season commenced in April, it would have wrapped up by early June, with the season slated to premiere in July.
The fast-paced nature of The Bachelor’s filming schedule might seem rushed for those unfamiliar with the show’s format. However, despite the short timeline, some couples, like Graziadei and Anderson, have found lasting love and are moving forward with their wedding plans. This demonstrates that, while unconventional, the show’s accelerated timeline can lead to meaningful and lasting relationships, showcasing that love can indeed be found in unexpected ways.
