The fake Vegas background drop.

[vdw842003]

I laughed so loud at the fakness of Shauna and Ridge standing infront of that vegas background drop. I guess B&B has lost major funds from all that filming they actually did in Dubai and Paris years ago. The kicker now is that Vegas is not even far from LA but they couldnt even attempt to make a little authentic.

It’s as fake as Sidge lol..I laughed so hard at how stupid and cheesy it looked with that fake Vegas background.

Yep, I agree. between that awful recycled Shauna set (why does everything have to be painted that drab grey/green colour when the apartment is a low-cost one? Is lighter coloured paint not the same price?) The repeated shots of Ridge sipping on some sort of drink and Shauna acting like a 18 year old. Blurgh. Cheap and nasty.

Funny part is they wouldn't have to pay for a thing if they got a deal with any of the hotels or casino's in Vegas cause they would cover the cost for promo. I guess B&B numbers are so bad that they couldn't get any type of deal.

[LuvCards]

That was (0r should have been) embarrassing for B&B. Fake and cheesy.

Despite the Las Vegas drop. Ridge and Shauna would make a beautiful couple

[Batgary]

How far ahead does B&B tape? Reason I'm asking is I'm wondering if the covid-19 could have been the reason for no location shot. Or, it could have just been Bell being Bell.

It was just Bell being Bell! ?

I agree. I like Shauna and Ridge. The Vegas backdrop was awful.

[Appaloosagrl]

B&B's production values in general have declined precipitously over the past couple of years. Brad Bell himself has acknowledged in interviews that he's reduced the number of sets and also tries to limit many scenes to just two actors so they can shoot faster. I find it boring to see everyone working in just two FC offices 90% of the time.

The so-called "B" roll or outside shots of Malibu, Venice Beach and downtown LA streets are wonderful, but they are generic and can be used over and over again.

That scene was so fake it was downright laughable.

[Jadey]

That was Shauna's VIP tour of Vegas, so..

What was with Ridge licking the straw? Did they go to 7 Eleven and get slurpees?

[Camille78]

For me, slurpees fit in with Shauna perfectly!

[Sharkswin]

Well, they acted like two stupid teenagers running around with that fake background..quite hilarious IMO.

[jube]

It was bad. But to be fair, they were there for all of 30 seconds. Hardly worth an on-site shoot.

[Autumn]

I would rather they spent the money on either better permanent sets or better scripts then wasting money taking the whole crew on location. ?

[ClassyIrishLass]

I too laughed at the absurdity of it. Her apartment looked like Flo's place with a bit of a change of decor.
