I can't find this answer online anywhere.

 

Anyone know?

I think 6 months, although I can't seem to find it either.

I've been assuming that it's about 6 months. Something this season showed July, I think on one of the kids' videos, so I figured it started in Aug or Sept. Between the first show and last week's show before they went home, Danni's doc visit said she'd built the muscle in 101 days, I think, so the filming took 3.5 months. Then I figure that they finish filming before airing starts.
