The 28th season of "The Bachelor" is underway, starring Joey Graziadei as the leading man. Recently, Graziadei and several female contestants were seen at a pub and hotel in Jasper, Alberta, Canada. This season's filming began in California in September and included stops in Europe (Malta and Spain) before heading to Canada.
Reality Steve, a well-known blogger, shared that the final six contestants and Graziadei are staying at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. He also revealed that a polar plunge date was planned at Lac Beauvert on October 21.
Fans have been actively discussing the show's filming in a Reddit thread. One user mentioned seeing a couple being filmed in a Jasper gift shop and turned to Reddit for more information. Another source reported seeing the cast at Whistle Stop Pub on Miette Avenue in Jasper. However, attempts to confirm these sightings with the pub and the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge were unsuccessful due to privacy policies.
Before arriving in Alberta, the cast filmed in Montreal, Quebec. A Reddit user spotted Graziadei and some contestants at The Fairmont Queen Elizabeth in Montreal, possibly returning from a group date. In Montreal, 10 women reportedly joined Graziadei to play street hockey in an alleyway.
This season's filming in Canada marks a change from previous plans. Season 17 of "The Bachelorette," Katie Thurston's season, was initially slated to film at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge in 2021, but was canceled due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.
Reality Steve notes that hometown dates for this season of "The Bachelor" are set to begin filming on October 24. Graziadei, who was the runner-up in Charity Lawson's season of "The Bachelorette," was announced as the new bachelor during the finale of that season.

Even for those who have followed the show for years, there's still a treasure trove of secrets about the Bachelor Mansion that remains unknown to many, including die-hard fans of the franchise.
Interestingly, the Bachelor Mansion, which isn't even its real name according to the property's website, holds many surprising facts that go beyond its role in "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette." It's time to set aside what you think you know about this famed property and dive into the lesser-known details about it. From uncovering who actually owns the home to exploring what life is like inside during filming, there's much to learn about the Bachelor Mansion.
Located in Agoura Hills, California, the renowned Bachelor Mansion is not exactly in Los Angeles but nearby. It's situated in a location that's very close to Malibu and just a 45-minute drive from Los Angeles Airport (LAX), as noted by the home's website.
Agoura Hills, as described on its city website, is a unique suburban community that values the preservation of its history, quality of life, vibrant business atmosphere, and environmental sensitivity. Besides hosting the drama-filled Bachelor Mansion, Agoura Hills is also known for the beautiful Santa Monica Mountains and offers ample outdoor activities, including hiking and relaxing in the sun.
