Bachelorette 16 - Clare Crawley & Tayshia Adams - Media SM - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Astrobach wrote:I had said earlier that I can’t see them filming before 6 months time. Now they’re scrambling to find and monopolise a whole resort where they would stay for 5 weeks of filming with up to 200 people quarantined together. Wow! They’re really desperate to make something happen! If I was Clare I wouldn’t be thrilled at all. Sounds more like a version of Big Brother with a lead trying to find ONE possible mate.
Apparently, their genius ‘ safe ‘ idea is to test people ( everyone? ( including the Resort staff?)BEFORE they start filming. What about the little detail that MANY are asymptomatic and CAN CARRY IT unknowingly? Then you have the real possibility of a scenario like in the cruise ships, where containment is quasi impossible and it spreads like wildfire. Great ! Genius!   Let’s put more people in compromised health situations.
Whoever contestant they find and agree with this, will come from all kinds of places, including possibly major infected areas like New York or Los Angeles. IF travel is even possible then...
The mind games are not enough for TPTB, now let’s put the personal health of people at risk! All that for a damn show! The greed is REAL!
It’s possible that we will hit a second wave of infections around that very time, we are now the 1st country on the list in the world, thanks to the great leaders of this country, and who knows what will happen in 2 weeks, let alone 3 months or 6.
I’m hoping Clare has better sense and is saying NO THANKS! But, who knows?
I can only shake my head, and follow the circus trail.

Networks are scrambling for any content for their fall season.  With production of their regular series shut down, they won't have anything at all.  IMO if it does happen, it will not replace DWTS. ABC will need that show as well but it could be with no audience.  So IMO they need to film something. If having it all being filmed in one place during a shorter period of time, they'll do it.

Survivor is up in the air for a fall season since production has left Fiji before even starting to film the fall season. They film 2 seasons back to back (Mar-May, June-July) to air in the fall (Sept-Dec) and winter (Feb-May).  CBS does have a season of TAR that has been filmed in 2019 that they could air in the Survivor time slot.

Big Brother is iffy for this summer... possibly a shortened season is what I have read elsewhere.

IMO a lot of stupid decisions are going to be made during this time.

I agree overall but if they are quarantined and everyone is tested they should be okay.  Asymptotic people will test positive even with no symptoms.  I eluld also hope they quarantine everyone for two weeks prior.  

Only good thing is there will be more real dates vs the over the top things if all one location.  It sounds more like BIP with just one woman.

Something has to change in the series, and maybe scaling down Clare's season to resemble Trista's will be a step in the right direction.

Put the love story at the center rather than drama and its carnage.

The perk of travel is removed so anyone wanting passport stamps can remove that from their reasons list.
I like your idea of scaling down however it’s the quality not quantity that determines chance of compatibility and a spark. I wouldn’t be opposed to Clare being allowed to view their submission vids and being able to select 1/2 of her cast. Why not give the lead more input and see if that is a workable idea. A plus for a smaller cast would be Clare has more time with each guy and would be able to get to know them better.
Big  to giving the love story priority . Fine if tptb wants some drama but don’t give it center stage,
