My coffee may not be kicking in yet... but wont purges and double eliminations not work if they have a set amount of episodes to fill? 

Yes but having to shut down production down for 2 weeks seems like more than enough to justify a shorter episode length for the network. Then again this is probably costing them a ton of money so MTV may force them to fill the episode count to make up for it even if it means less days off, TBCs, etc.

are they just going to bring back the person who got covid 

if i was amanda, i would just quit at this point. missing with my sisters time like she doesn't have a child and career outside of the show.

 

I think Tori or CT or one of the production faves got COVID because why is their a temporary shut down and why isn't that person sent home ?

Because the person that tested positive was engaging with everyone else so everyone in that house is at risk

But wouldn't they still be sent home as a "liability". This show is very wishy washy and picks and choose who & what is a liability. 

Mark has started following Logan Sampedro from Survivor Spain a few hours ago (along with a few other confirmed cast members), he's probably a missing rookie

Ok actually panicking, because the "flight risks" AKA those who have real lives and might just leave based on filming delays are the only good contestants - AKA... Amanda, Michele, Michaela.. I don't think Ashley has a lot going on but she's more likely to go stir crazy than others so I could see her out too...

 

OMG THE ONES WHO HAVE NO LIVES ARE THE ONLY GUARANTEES TO STAY ... AKA all the worst contestants .... Tori, Kaycee, Josh, Devin, Fessy and Aneesa would quarantine for 4 months if they had to and still be there because they have no lives.

umm at first i was like they really casting 45 year old rookies but then i googled his name and hes apparently only 28 yikes!

I wouldn't care about being paid to stay in a hotel room, but it would definitely get to me mentally, knowing that I don't have the option of going anywhere.  

I would need food, alcohol, my Xbox etc

I don't know why people are pretending this is such a big deal. What difference does it make I'd Amanda's chilling in a hotel room or shooting the show. She's away from her kid and she's here to make money. The only impact is if this makes the season weeks longer.

Give me Food, Alcohol, Xbox and I'm getting paid? Shit I'll sit there for two weeks no issues while they figure this shit out 

We don't need another 20 episode season but the bad thing is they probably already set the number or episodes they wanted to do so i dont see them shortening how long it airs sadly

gotta get that ad revenue!

they'll probably just do enough Guys/Girls days together to make up for the two weeks. they probably still need to wrap up filming around the days in their contracts 

Some of my old friends in production from when I did the show have told me that BMP is currently re-evaluating their format, and they are going to scrap it when filming starts up again.

They are planning to remove some rookies from the cast, and replace them with more well known vets. Alton, Ruthie, Kendal, and Johnny Reilly are preparing to go into quarantine.

i say we just move on to all stars 2 speculation

they might actually have to show some of the drama we don't see to get extra content for those missing episodes lmao

another season of their twists being ruined. You know they wanted to do more doubles last season but couldn't because of the dqs

the only good thing about this is that we can find out some of the missing rookies

Have the whole squad laughing

Tbh I've missed purges I wouldn't mind having them back

I would. Most of the time purges are just random missions production decides are important. I'd much rather see elimination rounds

After we lost Latoya, Amanda, Darrell, Simone and Devin(at the time) to purges i said never again.

I'd rather a late game "Invasion style" bloodbath. Or whoever said do it Hunger Games style where people are eliminated one by one in the final would be cool if executed properly 

They should just do a cast of 24-26 and flim for six weeks throw a couple doubles in there and they're good

I didn't like the "randomness" of it either but I don't mind a purge to start.   Purges should be mini-finals. The first purge on Vendettas was good as was the one where Devin and Jemmye were sent home during that season.  Final Reckoning was a mess

The problem is they need a certain number of episodes but I agree with you in theory.  4 weeks would be ideal--6 would be the max.

mmmm no those purges are literally just running, only tests one skill set. bloodbaths are the way to go

If you can't run you can't win a final...

Bloodbaths are fine but if we get one again where there's 4 people then the winner of stage 1 needs to get a spot in the final.  Shane and Amanda should have had a spot with Cory-Nelson & Amanda-Nicole battling for the second spot.

 

 

i would just go home lmao 

you wouldn't be allowed to leave considering you were just exposed and you can't get on an airplane

well i'd just jump off the nearest cliff and cause a scene then. they gonna be inconvenienced for more than 2 weeks 

Nah bc I screamed lmaooo

They can have shorten the season film wise and still have 20 episodes again if they make the challenges/eliminations back to back or not as spaced out as they usually do.

The wotw 1 purge is the best tbh. The first one not the second, since it tests running and puzzle skills. If they have to do a purge, they need to have puzzles involved since if you cant slove them, you aren't winning 

purges are dumb, they only make sense if the cast is as big as wotw1. i feel like dirty 30 was the only season that did purges properly with a redemption right after to get back in.
