The new season of The Bachelor has reportedly finished filming, with the final rose ceremony taking place in Bali on Wednesday, and while our bodies are beyond ready to take it all in, it’s fair to say that the producers don’t want pesky paps to spoil any surprises.
Reports indicate that, after flying Richie Strahan and three hopeful bachelorettes to Indonesia on separate Air Asia flights, then spiriting them out of the terminal through a special Bachelor-only exit, the show enlisted some military muscle to watch over them.
The cast and crew were put up at the Sofitel in Nusa Dua, and while there, where they were under guard by security as well as members of the Indonesian army, who are believed to have been employed to keep photographers way from the sacred handing-over of the final rose.
All helicopters on the island were “grounded for maintenance” at the time of filming, to keep anyone from getting any sneaky aerial action, however, it seems possible that someone still managed to sneak in.
Per reports in the Daily Telegraph, a paparazzi photographer approached host Osher Gunsberg soon after he touched down at home in Sydney yesterday, and surprised him by correctly identifying the name of the winner.
This has reportedly been a fairly hectic season all round, with paps flying drones over the show’s Glenorie set to try and catch money shots,and the situation compared with “Gaza”.
So yeah, paps of Australia, if you could go ahead and not spoil The Bachelor for us before it even airs, that’d be great.
