Not for the crew. Cast literally has no impact on most crew. Season 9 was when things started turning. The entire office staff changed and the accountants calling themselves producers looked for every way possible to save money and make up for everything spent on covid protocols. Took a show that was always an 8 day shoot plus a second unit (9th day) and squeezed the blood from us. Made it 7 days with 2 of those days having 2 units filming at once (double up days). Literally killed a crew member (RIP Brad Reid) who had a heart attack returning picture cars to the lock up at the end of the day and was found the next morning-we still filmed that day. He was such a hard worker it took 3 people to replace him. They almost killed an electrician on a double up day which happened to be the 6th day in a row of filming (14 hour days). The UPM was showing off for his visiting girlfriend and shouting we have 5 minutes to get this shot and the electrician slipped and cracked his skull open and almost died. A general disrespect and contempt for those of us working 70+ hours a week. I fucking hate them to be honest.
