Ok so the Mansion is out. Wow, I never would have guessed that.  I wonder why. They must be planning on going to another location where they can all be in one place.

Back to my thought about New Zealand. I have not checked for any info and maybe some of our New Zealand members can answer this, or others in the know. If anyone arrives from another country, are they to self quarantine for 14 days?

BTW congrats on your zero COVID cases!!

I think the mansion is too small to keep any kind of social distancing. They sleep in bunk beds, four in each room, share two (?) bathrooms and so on. The crew is also very close when filming, and they are the real risk here since they will have a life outside the mansion.

Not a Kiwi, but I still follow Bachelorette Lesina, and she is going through a 14 day mandatory quarantine after returning from AU. Also, they just had two new cases, new arrivals from UK who were let out of quarantine early to visit a dying relative. Someone is going to lose their job over that.
I don’t think they would ever let a foreign TV production in.

Now we'll find out how talented the production staff really is!

They're really going to have to get creative to keep this season interesting IMO.  If they're filming at a resort it risks feeling too much like Bach in Paradise... but with only one girl.

My hope would be that the confinement leads to a focus on the actual relationships rather than travel and sight-seeing, but I have been known to expect way too much of this franchise.

I should think the crew would be quarantined with the cast or otherwise what is the point.

If they did travel to NZ they could always hire a local crew. Test, self isolate just like they would in the US and then carry on. I wonder if the economic stimulus of them filming somewhere like that would be a consideration since almost everyone is hurting financially.

They just come here for ideas!
