- It's true that there's no script, but the storylines are created by the producers
- The cast only gathers for filming in the house for 2-3 days
- Once they're all gathered, the producers explain to the cast what kinds of settings and romantic progress will happen,

and the cast will figure out who they're gonna approach or talk his/her heart out with next. Even the pairings of people going on dates follow the instructions of the producers. They have up to three takes if they don't follow orders.
- According to a former staff, if a cast wants to become famous and recieve a bonus, they must become the instigator of an incident or other happenings. When the staff was still active, kissing nets a cast 50, 000 yen.
However in the next seasons, they kiss even without the bonus and they follow the director obediently, so the reward system was scrapped.
- The reason for them becoming obedient is due to the presence of a certain female staff.

There exists a boss-lady staff member and the cast look out towards her disposition. If she doesn't like one, they'll get less scenes and won't get some good "instructions". There were former cast that got stressed due to interacting with her.
There are lots of people who join to become famous, so she became of great influence.
- These cast members who want to achieve their dreams must move according to what the producers want to keep the show interesting. Because of that, there was a change in focus for the show,

- The seasons before now have focus on the sparkly and heart-throbbing acts, creating an environment anyone can long for. However, from this season onward, they started to strongly look for more people who can sling mud (talk smack and what not).
By showing direct clashes which today's SNS age seems to avoid, the viewers react. Viewers start to throw slander at them. Those who agree will throw heartless words. Of course, the cast gets hurt, but the staff are happy & looks the other way when they get talked about in SNS.
- According to someone from the station, Hana might have exerted herself too much to answer to the production side's instructions. She might have not noticed her heart has worked to its limits, so the dark side of reality TV got to her.
- A public statement from Fuji TV states that "While we discuss to the cast the matters about the filming beforehand, we do let them act anything that is against the cast's intentions or emotions."
- The scenes where they get along with her didn't make to the episode's release. It was probably deemed unneeded. It isn't about what happened, but how it was made to be. The producers responsibility in facing this reality is being questioned right now.
It's not a perfect translation and I did not cover certain parts of the article, but it's an interesting read all in all due to the nature of the show. It seemed like the producers themselves set up this season to become a shadow of its own vibrant, positive self.
LMAO former cast Lauren Tsai liked the article. She knows exactly what's up
