Say Yes To The Dress - General Discussion

The news is...there is no news. RealityBlurred's Andy Dehnart actually went right to the source:

The season was filmed, but I wonder if this is them low key cancelling it. 

This is what I found most interesting from the article you quoted, in part, above. It also says:

"I’m hoping [Say Yes to the Dress] — and all others — aren’t affected by the disaster that is Warner Bros. Discovery. Its latest earnings report was dire, saying that its TV channels like TLC and Food Network are collectively worth $9.1 billion less than before. Oof."

If they've already filmed and edited all of season 23's episodes then most of the money budgeted to produce the season has already been spent. So why in the world would they keep them sitting on a shelf, especially in light of how popular the program is? If the show is no longer profitable, why are they continuing to air reruns of episodes from past seasons instead of the new episodes from season 23?

I'm not in the TV industry (clearly!) but I would think the advertising rates for new episodes of a series aired in primetime are higher than the advertising rates for reruns of old episodes from the same series aired during the day, or after midnight, no?

Because of this, holding back the season seems really counterproductive if TLC is losing money.

Well, they did shelve a movie they spent $90 million on, as a tax writeoff because they didn't think it was "good enough" or something, so...

New "executives" come in...some with no showbiz experience and throw their weight around, making insensible changes.  It's UNbelievable how many quality programs/series are shelved.  Often the cast/crew were paid, so there's no huge outcry.

I'm keeping my 🤞 because in the first quarter of 2024 multiple media outlets announced season 23 was scheduled to begin airing Saturday April 6, 2024.

April 6th came and went with no SYTTD, nor was there any explanation given as to why from any media outlets or TLC.

So we'll see. Or maybe not see - just like last year. ☹️

I'm not in love with either of her dresses. But I prefer the first one. Not a fan of one shoulder.

Congrats to Dorothy!  I've always liked her on the show.  I wasn't wowed by either dress, but I think once they're properly fitted, they'll look good.  There are many brides who have tried on dresses that I thought were kind of iffy, but once fitted properly, I usually changed my mind.  The material on the second dress did look very soft and flowy.

Wow, good for Dorothy to lose so much weight. I'm not in love with either of her dresses. But I prefer the first one.

Agree @Grizzly. In fact, I thought both dresses looked somewhat similar, although one had a cape and the other was one shoulder. But Dorothy loved them and was glowing and I agree with @Chit Chat, proper fitting will make a big difference.

I am not normally a one shoulder fan but I actually liked Dorothy's second dress.  And I loved the fact that she met her fiance through his ex-wife.

Did the couple who had Randy marry them have a marriage license? 

Probably since there was nothing 'surprising' about this to production unless they didn't want to be married officially.

Did anyone else watch SYTTD with Tan French?  It looks like it's a reboot of the British version.  I miss Gok but I found myself enjoying this version too.  For one, it was just nice to have so many brides.  The American version has gotten so stingy.  We only really had one bride look for a dress last night and Dorothy who had a dress and tried on one that replaced it. 

The British version had three brides with different needs.

Yes, the British version with Tan did give us more brides and dresses. Problem is, the best dress of the night was Mandy's custom one that didn't look bridal. The blonde was put into 3 strange dresses. And the indecisive/grieving bride made me want to grab a pair of scissors. Her hair kept us from seeing the tops of the dresses. And those shoulder "straps" did nothing. What they did for her veil was absolutely gorgeous!

Tan was pleasant enough and I'll be watching next week.

So...I'm thrilled for Dorothy, truly! Finding your soul mate at 65 is such a beautiful thing! I have to say that the second dress did nothing for her, IMO. It was very similar in shape and drape to the wedding dress with long veil cape. Perhaps when it's tailored to hold her girls up it would look nicer but I thought her first dress was IT for her. I didn't quite understand if she was ditching the first dress complete or not at the end of the show. 

All the other stuff was manufactured drama and I was nit interested in it.

Tan France is no Gok, that's all I'm gonna say. I miss Gok!
