According to blogger Reality Steve , JoJo’s final destination this season is more than likely Thailand. It’s not the first time the Bachelor franchise has filmed there, but it is unknown where in the country the season-finale will take place.
One episode of Bachelorette Ashley Hebert’s season was filmed in Phuket, Thailand back in 2011. In 2015, Bachelor Sean Lowe ‘s overnight dates and final rose ceremony were filmed in beautiful Chiang Rai.
Although Steve is not 100 percent certain JoJo is heading to Thailand for overnights and the final rose ceremony, he states that he’s “pretty comfortable” that is where the final two episodes will be filmed.
After taping the first four episodes in the United States, JoJo and ten remaining guys traveled to Uruguay to film Episode 5 earlier in the month. Reality Steve states that one of JoJo’s one-on-one dates was filmed at the Capi Bar in Punta del Este and her date for the night was contestant Robby Hayes.
Spoilers indicate that Hayes makes it to at least Episode 6 (perhaps even further) and he may prove to be a very interesting contestant this season. He reportedly broke off a four-year relationship right before coming on the show and his ex-girlfriend looks just like JoJo .
After Uruguay, JoJo and her remaining eight guys traveled to Argentina, where they have been since April 8, and their first stop was Buenos Aires according to fan Kelsey Evans who posted several photos on Twitter.

After another round of eliminations, JoJo and six guys were still in Argentina on Friday, April 15. Spoilers indicate that the guys who made it far enough to film Friday include Jordan Rodgers, Wells Adams, Luke Pell, James Taylor, and Robby Hayes — that means hometown dates are right around the corner.
JoJo is expected to send two more guys home before they leave Argentina, narrowing her choices down to her final four.

Us Weekly states that Jordan Rodgers was an early favorite this season and spoilers indicate he’s made it to at least Episode 7, so there’s a good chance fans could see him in the final two. Reality Steve says that his sources claim that it’s been the “Jordan show” since JoJo’s season got underway.
During Ben Higgins’ season of the Bachelor , Steve said the same thing about Lauren Bushnell and she turned out to be the winner despite the fact that Ben said “I love you” to both Lauren and JoJo.
However, there is speculation that producers made up the double “I love you” storyline because Ben was ready to pick Lauren from the get-go. If JoJo is having similar feelings about Jordan, there’s a good chance producers are drumming up drama to keep viewers entertained.
Filming for hometown dates is expected to start later this week and will determine Fletcher’s final three guys. Whether they head to Thailand or another location, JoJo should be done filming the overnights and final rose ceremony by the first or second week of May.
Amidst all of the spoilers that will continue throughout the season, fans will find out what really happens on the upcoming season of the Bachelorette when the season gets underway on May 23 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
