In addition to the schedule, Bobby said the show’s new setting has breathed unique life into the proceedings. 

“New Orleans is a city with a distinct culture,” he stated. It’s unique to any city in America. There’s a unique Cajun culture and Creole culture you won’t see anywhere else. The experience is almost as if you are in another country, and that’s what I mean. The town is unique in every way, including the architecture, food and accents.

Bobby shared his specific visions of where he wants to take the cast when it’s time for the next season.

He laughed, saying that “our list definitely includes any place which does not reach 60 degrees.” We’d love to travel to the UK. “We would love to travel internationally.”

Bobby was also open to new territory ideas.

We would love to film in the Pacific Northwest. “We haven’t actually filmed anywhere in the West,” said he. “We have been living in the South, the East, and Japan for seven (or eight) seasons. We’d love the opportunity to travel West, so yes.
