Filming Survivor Confessionals 

Pam B Richard Hatch is the ultimate pioneer of Survivor. CBS and Jeff Probst owe a lot to Richard Hatch because Survivor wouldn’t be where it is today without him. He’s one of the Founding Fathers of Survivor.

Anthony Mendez he isn’t one of the founding fathers, he IS the founding father

My wife and I were watching that first night and both said, "This guy isn't going to last long." lol Then we watched him give a master class in the next few weeks. Great player.

goutham edara I have always thought the same thing.

There is an interview where Adam Klein said it's easy to tell who has an idol, as a contestant, if you pay attention. They'll start to follow someone for awhile out in the woods, and then stop following them and others out in the woods because there is no longer anything exciting to find or film. He said a camera person was following either Ben or Sarah, I cant remember, and then stopped following them and others, so it tipped him off to who had an idol.

Lol but that was the time when he was completely certain either Ben or Sarah had an idol but his speculations were wrong and Sophie had it 😂 So I doubt it’s that obvious

Producers are human... so sharing honestly is a risk. I really shared honestly, because for me, I wanted viewers to have as full and honest a picture of how I was playing. Had I edited myself in those years before viewers understood the game, it is likely I would not be perceived to be such a villain.

@@RichHatch Did you like being perceived as a villain

Stop me f I have this wrong, but doesn't that defeat the purpose of the confessional?

Yes!!! 💯♥️

Great points! I must say, though, producers do make some effort to ensure participants are relatively-equally pulled to confessionals. That said, producers are human, and an observant player certainly can gain valuable insights by paying close attention to what's going on. Further, for viewers, please know that it is also important for you to observe confessionals somewhat critically too. They are ostensibly opportunities for the participants to openly and honestly share all that is on their minds with viewers to help viewers enjoy even more of the game... HOWEVER, as I mentioned, producers are human, and sophisticated participants sometimes hold back or somewhat alter what they say in confessionals to avoid ANY tiny chance what they say could influence how producers react or how their next questions of other participants might be influenced. OH, THE LAYERS... THE MANY, MANY LAYERS of this wonderful game.

This was my question as well. I think to Richard's point, it probably behooves the producers to get as many confessionals as possible from as many players in order to create the storyline once filming has concluded, since anything can happen and anyone can win. That's why Richard's million dollar comment on day one of his season looks so prescient. Who knows if other players made the same statement?

Sounds like you're a fan to me lol

John Palladino lol

they do that to make the show have more interesting shots and angles and they are probably filming the crews that test the challenges (from a different time or day) from those high angles so you don't have cameras being caught on camera from above.

@@michael.valenti a sincere thank you!.. for the reply of an answer to my question :)

How many people knew you before Survivor, 200, 500, 1000, 25,000 people? You now have a voice due to Survivor. Your a contestant on a Reality Game Show on TV. Now we have listen to your negative comments about the Game Show named “Survivor”. Didn’t you signed a contract? If you didn’t read the contract of being a contestant on a Game Show, that lasts “39” days. What gives you the right to complain about it. You signed a contract.! You knew what was expected of you, and what the TV Game Show has to produce for you. Because of Survivor, over a million viewers are looking at your negative comments on a Game Show that literally, gave you a voice. People know who you are NOW. A contestant complaining about your experience on a Game Show. Congratulations on you winning Million dollars. Why not take your fame and do something positive? You are famous now. Are you aware of the children in USA, that live in shelters, cars, cardboard boxes, under overpasses, etc? These children are the kids that will in charge in the future. One or many of these overlooked children, may hold the key to making the world that everyone has to share, better.

soccerguy325 Great question! I’ll make a video to answer.

@@RichHatch Cool - thanks!

Ya that bugs me. He'll bring something up that essentially throws someone under the bus and then everyone gangs up on them

You dont have to tell the truth

I think everyone goes out for Confessionals but because Dean didn't really involved in that main storyline or plot , they didn't give him any

How?

@@jaxontime5028 she would give vague answers, or just false information. She said she could tell by the questions from producers what was happening with the other players.

Justin Harness damn shes smart

Yeah i always wondered how far away you are from the others when you do a confessional, like can they even see you at all?

@@Earlsweatpantch I believe sometimes they are taken to a separate island or another place isolated from camp.

And you're a b*tch what's your point
