As the current season of the popular reality series approaches its finale, speculation is intensifying about the lineup for the upcoming installment. According to a production source, the network is considering significant changes to the cast roster, with an eye toward refreshing the show’s dynamic.
Two current cast members are reportedly at risk of not returning. The source indicates that network executives are keen to adjust the show’s demographic representation, specifically expressing a desire to feature more personalities from Latin American backgrounds. This strategic shift could potentially leave the positions of the two women in question vulnerable.
However, insiders emphasize that no final determinations have been made. Decisions on the final cast are not expected until after the season’s reunion special airs, leaving the door open for negotiations and last-minute changes.
The season has been notably contentious, marked by several heated confrontations. One cast member recently reflected on the difficulty of watching filmed conflicts play out, describing the experience as “layered” and at times “overwhelming.” She expressed particular frustration with apologies she viewed as insincere, stating that an apology for an action, without addressing the underlying falsehoods that sparked it, remains “concerning.”
In the wake of the season’s drama, she has spoken about prioritizing her personal well-being. “I’m protecting my peace,” she stated, explaining a new focus on personal boundaries and mental health. Ahead of the reunion, she said she is prepared to listen to her co-stars but feels no need to extensively justify herself, asserting that “the truth is out there.”
Another figure central to the season’s conflicts also addressed a notorious physical altercation, expressing deep regret. She called her own actions “dirty” and “totally out of character,” attributing them to a momentary loss of emotional control. She stressed the incident was not planned. When filming pressures mounted, she said she found solace and stability with her family, describing them as her “safe space” and the foundation of her emotional well-being.
The network has not issued any official comment regarding casting rumors. Viewers will likely have to wait until after the reunion airs for any concrete announcements about the future shape of the series.
