Camera crew whipped in out of nowhere, as per usual. Even have a drone set up for aerial shots. More like 390 day fiancé since they’ve been filming since summer 2022…

    seeing the camera crew reminds you why people might be staring, whenever cast members say that people are staring at them for some other reason. Also, it would be so impossible to be real and normal with a whole crew around you staring and filming you. It’s all performative because I’m sure they have pressure to do something, anything, so that it’s not awkward and silent.

      Literally lol like Nikki… the guy wasn’t staring at you because you’re trans , he was staring because you have a camera crew filming your conversation and you look like a human blow up doll

        I saw that guy at the table in the background do a noticeable blink to the camera during that scene.

        They must have extras or the crew sitting around them pretending to be restaurant patrons.

        They wouldn’t be able to shoot those scenes otherwise. (Used to be an actor)

          Filmmaker here: You can either get signed releases from everyone or, in the case of a public location like a restaurant, you prominently post signs everywhere notifying people that by entering the location they consent to being filmed and release all rights and liability etc.

          If you’re smart, you do both.

          If you have an “eye-line gawker” you buy them a drink and ask them to sit at a different table.

          This is standard in the US and the EU if you’re not going to buy out the bar or restaurant for the day and fill it with extras. Moldova? No idea what the process is there.

      Oh yeah it’s so scripted. Over the past year watched them shoot the same 30 second scene(s) over and over and over

        Oh ugh I wouldn’t have guessed, they are kind of good actors then. Compared to that cheaters exposed show on mtv where I knew within 2 minutes it was scripted
