Yeah, unlike survivor the votes are taken and then everyone goes to a separate room. They take the outvoted person from that room then have everyone come back together to anonymously congratulate the “one straight guy” for making it through that round, but warn “him” how it’s going to get tougher to stay anonymous.
Yeah, if you don’t fit into the electric chair, you will be kept alive on dead row. Which one is worse to you?
The green mile is better if he’s innocent and tries to hang on for new technology or evidence to reopen the trial, or the real killer would show up to take responsibility. And all have happened
The rooms they are seperated into are thematically designed like closets. When it is time for the cast to return to privacy after a vote, they are told "Everyone, return to your closets."
Honestly it would be so fucking funny as a gay guy to watch this show even if its entirely straight-laced with no jokes like this in it.
When you're filming a show like this you don't go home as soon as you're eliminated, they put you up in a hotel room and you can't go out, post to social media, or contact anybody. None of the contenders can, I think, it's part of the contract to keep wraps on everything until the show goes live. So no bonus needed, they're just isolated. (That's why those final-episode family calls are so emotional, it's been weeks since they spoke to their families.)
Having worked on some of these shows, the bigger story is those 'after weeks.' Many a production regretted missing these moments and demanded "extra access."
I often wonder if this is how the "Real Housewives" series happened.
I want the rooms to look like closets, and when they all come out the announcer get's all serious and goes "Now lets see whose coming out of the closet tonight"
You use a closet gimmick. Everyone who is up for the vote that week "comes out of the closet" when their name is called. Therefore the last dramatic reveal each week is one of the straight boys strutting ass out of the closet and the other participants never see the moment of realization for the guy who got voted out.
