‘Double Shot at Love’ is back in its third season as SallyAnn Salsano reveals about challenges of shooting during COVID-19

‘Double Shot at Love’ is back in its third season on MTV. The show is produced by SallyAnn Salsano’s 495 Productions. The show is produced by Todd Radnitz, Dan Caster, Diana Morelli, and Salsano.

The third run of the spinoff of Tila Tequila’s Shot At Love format will stream later this year and will once again star Jersey Shore’s DJ Pauly D and Vinny Guadagnino. In season two, Pauly found his love with Nikki, which was streamed the previous year. Now the duo is looking to hook his friend Vinny up.

This move comes after Salsano has had a busy year, shooting a slew of shows during the COVID-19 pandemic. She scored her first Discovery+ order and is moving into new non-scripted genres.

Salsano spoke to Deadline that she has been “amazed” by what the unscripted community has been able to achieve during Covid.

Salsano told Deadline that she’s been “amazed” by what the non-scripted community has been able to attain during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I feel like reality producers, much like reality contestants, if you put us in a box, we’re going to figure out how to get out of it and I feel like the tables have turned and this is like us being on a challenging show,” she said. “The truth is you want to stay in your house and ride out the pandemic and stay healthy and safe, but we have a business to run and there are a lot of people that count on us, not only the buyers but my staff. It was really difficult; shooting in the pandemic was not for the week and at times it’s not for the strong, there are days when I think ‘What in god’s name are we trying to figure out.”

The first COVID-19 shoot of Salsano was the fourth season of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. It was shot during a quarantine bubble at the Hilton Lake hotel in Las Vegas. She says that she was pleased that her first show back was Jersey Shore because of her long and close relationship with the cast.

She also filmed the fourth season of Floribama Shore, which was even more challenging. That show, which returned in February, was shot in Montana and Arizona. It was forced to shut down for two weeks in November after a crew member contracted COVID-19.

“Because of the frequency of the testing schedule, it was annoying but no one was at risk and that was because of the amount of support and resources that came to us,” she said.

Another show that Salsano and her crew shot during the pandemic was Pushing The Line for Discovery+. The show follows a group of people who during the day are walking across 900-foot gorges and at night their campsite is a party.
