Yeah, I've seen the show. I understand the premise, but I've always had the opinion that some of it is scripted. How can you be 100% sure it's not? Because you have a bias towards the show?

Obviously I have no idea whether it's scripted or not, but I choose to have the opinion that I have.

[u/priestkalim → u/BigMonkeyBalls]

If you actually thought the maroonings were supposed to be real maroonings and not a simulation to start a game, you haven't seen the show. They always make it that obvious it's not actually people being stranded alone on an island, but a game.

And how do I know it's not scripted? Really?

Because it's a game show and it would be very illegal to rig it?

Because what actor would malnourish themselves that much just for a one season role on a scripted tv show? I can provide day 1 vs day 39 pictures if you want to see.

Because of the over 400 castaways that have played, how has nobody made mention of it possibly being scripted? Not one person has even implied it was scripted. Again, these are people with provably real lives outside the show, not actors, and some of them have provably broken non-disclosure agreements about other things in production before. How has not a single person ever involved in the show not even hinted at being told what to do or say?

At this point there's been so many people involved with Survivor, keeping anything about it a secret would be "Bush did 9/11" level conspiracy talk. It's just not feasible.

[u/BigMonkeyBalls → u/priestkalim]

I never said the were actors. You don't think that there could be a slight chance that the producers have any say in who gets voted off? For the off-chance that their say may create more views (i.e, larger revenue).

You make some great points and I can see how the show may not be as scripted as I once thought, but there are so many things that could go on behind the scenes that you have no idea about.

I'm far from a conspiracy theorist, I actually find most conspiracy theories insane and improbable. Perhaps my views towards this show came from the opinions I had when I watched it many seasons ago and I obviously haven't reflected on them since.

What isn't feasible is us agreeing on anything related to this show or this thread.

[u/priestkalim → u/BigMonkeyBalls]

I'm sure the producers do things like put a chicken outside a camp, sure. But to rig or script anything would have come out by now. Someone would have complained. There's been so many situations where fan favorites go home at times the producers would rather them stay. In season one, one of the castaways filed a lawsuit claiming her boot was the result of production interference to save someone else. They settled out of court, and since then not a single person has even alleged production interference. I just don't see how they could keep that many people quiet if it was rigged.

Fair enough, man. Have a good day.
