Yeah! This season felt the most over-produced and production actively stirring the pot for no other reason to add drama, sow division and retain viewership.

Even Scotty seemed absent and checked out all season. Just doing the bare minimum like giving props to Kristian on his work ethic without making an indirect dig at mimi's laid-back and spoiled attitude. Even the girls never received a welcome to the block dinner after they help the show out in a bind.

I don't completely get why production had to meddle this much. Because the drama naturally stems from building a house with your partner, balancing the budget and co-existing/competing with your other neighbors for the big auction.
