The overall size of the crew was reduced in order to keep the numbers in the tent to a bare minimum and behind the scenes, and everyone wore mask and practiced social distancing on set at all times. Contestant Julianna Jung said that filming during the pandemic was tricky, but she felt at ease with all the precautions that the network was taking.
“Everything was so organized, there was some stress … I mean it is a competition,” she said before adding, “[the crew] just had everything under control and they made sure we were having fun while having to film.”
