As Becca Kufrin's season of "The Bachelorette" nears, updates for the show have surfaced. Filming is winding down for the 27-year-old and her cast of 28 men. Only two contestants will remain by the end of this week and Kufrin will presumably pick which man will be her future husband.
Last episode location is a first for the franchise
Reality Steve dished in a tweet on Monday (May 7) that the finale episode will be taped in the Maldives. The spoilers extraordinaire added in his post that this is a first for "The Bachelor" franchise.
Steve wasn't sure where "The Bachelorette" final rose ceremony would be held, but he was able to confirm that the Maldives is where Becca will pick her man.
(SPOILER UPDATE): After filming overnight dates in Thailand, they left and are filming final rose ceremony this week in the Maldives. That was the place I heard about a month ago but never got the confirmation I needed until now.

Overnight dates
Steve leaked in a blog post on May 2 that the three finalists for Becca are Blake Horstmann, Jason Tartick, and Garrett Yrigoyen. They filmed the overnight dates in Thailand. They were in Chiang Mai on Sunday (May 6), but Steve wasn't sure what "The Bachelorette" cast and crew were doing the whole time. One of the hotels was being used, according to his sources.
Thailand was a location used during JoJo Fletcher and Ashley Hebert's season of "The Bachelorette." It was also used during Sean Lowe's season of "The Bachelor."
Becca is ready to find love
Soon fans will learn who all of the contestants are for Kurfin's season.
The usual slew of professionals, personal trainers, models, and a few actors will be on the cast list. One man in particular that catches Becca's eye is one of the final three and wins the first impression rose on the premiere episode. Promos for Kufrin's season show the publicist from Minnesota ripping up a heart-shaped photo of Arie Luyendyk, Jr.
Her catchphrase, "Let's do the damn thing," is included in the clip as she dances around to Kesha's "Woman" wearing a glamorous dress.
Kufrin told Ellen DeGeneres that she doesn't have a physical type, but knows what she wants when it comes to personality traits. "Personality-wise, I want someone that’s honest and loyal — obviously," Becca said.
Becca continued that she moved past the humiliating break up with Arie. She admitted that she went through the "grieving process." She was "mad, sad, confused," but after watching the season back, she realized Lauren Burnham was a good fit for Arie.
Within mere weeks, scoops will leak about the first episode. It's fun to watch the lengths people will go to just to make an impression when they exit the limo.
Be sure and tune in to "The Bachelorette" 2018 with Becca Kufrin when it premieres Monday, May 28 at 9 PM, ET/PT on ABC.
