Survivor Gabon: What’s Really Behind the scenes of Survivor?
Survivor Gabon has just begun this past week. We have seen the two hour premier and think we can get a feel for what is going on, what the players are really up to, and where things might be going from here. But, is this all in the editing?
Michelle was the first person voted out of Survivor last week. See was sent packing, because Michelle was not happy; at least this is the general perception we saw.
We also saw that Michelle seemed to have no friends, only close to Ken; the “gamer”. Was this an accurate depiction of Michelle’s social circle? Did we see who Michelle was really cuddly with during those hot Survivor Gabon nights?
If you were to check out “reality blurred”, this site has a lot of first hand, cast experiences within this Survivor Gabon season. Things are not what they appear to be.
Just because a TV program is supposed to be a reality show, does not necessarily mean this is the way things went down. A lot of manipulation by the producers takes place in the final edits. What we often see is, a final product of what the production wants us to see. We are manipulated.
As an example of blatant reality show manipulation: Many hardcore Big Brother fans subscribe to the live feeds, as Big Brother is airing. What often comes out on the prime time, is not what the live feeds are showing; because of the editing for the prime time viewing audience.
The live feed fans of Big Brother go crazy over the CBS episodes, because of what they are not showing to everyone!
Survivor Gabon seems to be; entertainment that is slanted by the producers for our enjoyment. Yet, is this real?
If Survivor Gabon wants someone to be perceived as an evil person, they can edit this, to show it.
If Survivor wishes to show someone as a slacker, they only have to show the person sitting around and not doing anything to help out. And, so it goes.
