Production[]
Filming for the fourteenth season took place over three months, from August 2023 until October 2023. Midway through production, in September 2023, Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral were temporarily suspended from filming due to a physical incident. Aydin and Cabral both returned to the show shortly after.
In June 2024, it was reported and later confirmed that the cast would not film a traditional reunion. This was due to production feeling "there is no path forward in that type of setting". As a result, production confirmed no "further decisions" on casting would be made for awhile on future seasons of the show but they indicated that the existing situation with cast members refusing to talk to one another was no longer sustainable.
