Notes
For The Bachelorette Season 9, First Frame served as the local production partner for the Bavaria episode, marking Bachelorette Desiree Hartsock's first visit to Europe and the start of the season's international tour.
Over four shooting days across Munich, Lake Tegernsee, and Germany's highest peak, the Zugspitze, First Frame brought one of America's most-watched dating shows to some of Bavaria's most spectacular locations. In Munich, Desiree and her remaining suitors immersed themselves in Bavarian tradition, trying on Lederhosen and Dirndl, exploring the city, and experiencing local culture firsthand. On the Zugspitze, a dramatic group date took the men high into the Alps for a series of winter challenges, including a romantic date in an Igloo Ice Hotel at the summit. A highlight of the episode was a visit from Biwi Rehm, Bavaria's beloved yodel master, who shared his personal secret to a happy and long-lasting marriage.
First Frame coordinated all local production logistics across three distinct location types: urban Munich, the lakeside setting of Tegernsee, and the alpine summit of the Zugspitze, ensuring seamless execution for the international ABC production team.
The Bachelorette Season 9 aired on ABC, hosted by Chris Harrison, and was produced by NZK Productions and Next Entertainment for Warner Horizon Television.
