‘Bachelorette’ Show Wraps Bermuda Shoot

March 31, 2012

Did “Bachelorette” contestant Emily Maynard feel any love in Bermuda? Or are the reality TV star’s suitors on the island headed to elimination by way of the rose ceremony?

Fans of the top-rated ABC reality show will find out soon enough as Ms Maynard [pictured] and the cast of the top-rated ABC show wrapped their Bermuda shoot yesterday [Mar.30] and are now en route to Toronto.

Already the cast and crew has filmed two weeks in Charlotte, North Carolina and just completed a week in Bermuda.

A children’s hospital event planner in Charlotte, Emily Maynard lost her fiance, professional race car driver Ricky Hendrick, in a plane crash on October 24, 2004. Rick and Emily had been dating for four years and engaged for about six months when Ricky died.

The Friday after her fiance’s death, Ms Maynard learned she was pregnant with their now-five-year-old daughter Ricki.

Entertainment blogger “Reality Steve”  has reported the cast and crew stayed at the Rosewood Tucker’s Point resort while in Bermuda and one of Ms Maynard’s dates took place in St. George’s.

“There was a date in King Square with a group of Bermuda Gombeys dancing, he said. “Bermuda Gombeys are troupes of dancers that wear brightly colored costumes with masks and hats made with peacock feathers.”

Later in the week Ms Maynard had a two-on-one date aboard the yacht “Venetian” which ended up docking at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess resort.

    What a great role model.. Two on one dates, great move BDA. Pathetic.

    • Daisy says:

      Perhaps you’ve never watched the show but that is how the PRODUCERS of the show do it. Bermuda has nothing to do with who goes on the dates! Get a clue and know your facts! I think it is a great move and it gets our name out there! Millions of people watch this show which could in turn help with our suffering tourism industry…..

    • Finally left! says:

      lol its a reality show thats been around for years…. why would you even think it has anything to do wtih role models????

  2. Honestly says:

    Shakin my head……please! U haven’t seen show have you! So, hush and try to watch the new season which may feature Bermuda. Complainers take a break…including SMH who must be perfect in every way!!

    Having an opportunity to be involved with any major network show or sporting event is HUGE for Bermuda and will definatly help out our numbers. Our problem though is our product is weak and needs a lot of work if we really want to get serious about TOURISM.

    Rick you complain about everything. Start saying/thinking positive. If we had more people focused on what is positive, we would see a greater change and boost in Tourism. I am very happy that the producers came to Bermuda. This program normally has about 14 million viewership.

    • suzie mckay says:

      So Wayne instead of having a verbal disertation with Rick on Bernews why didn’t/don’t you give him a spot on your Tourism Authority. He may bring a “Fresh” perspective.

  5. Crazy says:

    I guess then the question is why are folks complaining about everything ,better to deal with the cause before we administer the drugs and mask the issues!

    So Wayne reads the blogs. That’s great! I always did like you Wayne, you’re very personable. But I hear that the PLP don’t like their ‘people’ commenting on the blogs, so you might get shut down, Wayne.

    IMHO, it was a coup for Bermuda to get the ‘Bachelorette’ TV Show shooting here! I’m sure this will pay off down the line.

    But we need more of it!

    I’ve always thought that giving away inclusive vacations for two to Bermuda, from time to time, on the popular US Game Shows would gain a lot of exposure for us.
