She along with her fellow contestants and the crew had to quarantine at the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort to film this season following in the steps of The Bachelorette. The season will be filmed entirely at the resort in order to maintain safety protocol and travel restrictions amid the coronavirus pandemic.
