Even in a post-MeToo world, reality TV continues to struggle with misconduct allegations
including opening the door while a contestant was using the restroom and refusing to close it, and kissing a fellow contestant‘s armpit and touching his body while he was sleeping. ProducersIn each of these cases, producers emphasized their understanding of how serious these matters are. They removed cast members; they issued warnings; they held on- and off-air discussions with cast members to discuss boundaries and best practices.
During Wednesday’s episode, the show even rolled flashback footage illustrating the women’s complaints as they spoke. Contestanttold Kellee, “At the merge feast last night.... I feel someone wiggling my toes, and I’m like, I wonder who it could be? And it’s him.”“This isn’t just one person,” Kellee said later during a confessional interview. “It’s a pattern. It’s a pattern. It takes five people to be like, Man, the way I’m feeling about this is actually real. It’s not in my head.
It was here that what might happen in a real-world scenario—an H.R. intervention, a disciplinary conversation—collided with the demands of reality TV. “In this moment, the producer is navigating a delicate balance of making sure that Kellee feels protected while still letting her remain in control of her game,” Probst told the“Kellee was very clear in stating that she thought things would be okay. The producer immediately shared the story with me, and I immediately contacted CBS.
Wednesday’s episode included a title card that said all players were cautioned about personal boundaries, and that Dan was privately given a warning for his behavior. But the show’s structure—and emphasis on deceit—also set Kellee up to be blindsided.
Added Missy, “I became so caught up in game play that I did not realize a very serious situation, nor did I handle it with the care that it deserved. Due to the nature ofI was viewing the game through a small lens and with a limited scope. I did not have all the information on the subject and I made a game move that was unjust.”Both of these apologies speak to the central problem: The producers have all the information, and the contestants do not.
