Dark Side of Reality TV turns its lens on the granddaddy of reality competition shows, Survivor, specifically its groundbreaking first season which, spoiler alert, was won by Richard Hatch.
This episode re-examines the inaugural outing, exploring who the real winner might have been, not so much in terms of the actual game naturally but the production team, series creators and CBS. Expect interviews with producers, contestants, and crew, offering behind-the-scenes insights and untold stories from the island where it all began.
While Survivor has become a reality TV staple, this episode will expose the less glamorous aspects of the game, revealing the manipulations, strategies, and lasting impacts on those who dared to outwit, outplay, and outlast.
Dark Side of Reality TV: Survivor: Season One airs Tuesday, 22 October 2024, at 9:00 p.m. on Vice TV.
