one thing that tlc does with all its reality shows, too, is that whenever the cast members travel to some location, production isn't telling them where they're going. they just load them into the car and it goes from there.
so when someone on a 90 day show says something in one of their talking heads, like, "i don't think dracula's castle is a particularly romantic date 😒" they're making a jab at production, not their partner.
once you start noticing this stuff, you can't stop noticing it. it's funny that way.
