I an so curious about the cameramen, producers, and editors of this show. Low key the cameraman gets an eye full (Imagine the things we don’t see!). It seems like some couples don’t put them out the room before they start smashing LOL Also, this question is not specific to this show, but other reality shows as well.

    A good friend of my fiancé and her boyfriend both worked on the show and they said from the couples they worked with everything is kind of really heavily manipulated and set up to where real in the moment stuff doesn’t really happen very often. Everyone is working with storylines and things are rehearsed and it’s kind of a rigid filming environment since most of the characters don’t have much real acting chops. They described it as a kind of fresh into the business low end gig that opens doors to getting jobs at news outlets or higher end shows like a dateline or the first 48 or a real network reality show.

        Yea in season one they hooked up but they felt like it made more sense to only show Pauly and jenni

        They probably have hours upon hours of footage from season one I wish we can see all of it one day

    I briefly dated a 90DF producer years ago but I was not yet familiar with the show so I didn’t really ask any questions. It takes a great deal of self-control not to text her questions now. She did have a hell of a drug habit though.
