We all know reality TV has nothing to do with reality and CBS has, again, confirmed that for us. Just as Survivor losers begin the leave the island, dirty truths rear their ugly head.
Not that we’re very surprised but one of the first people voted off, Wanda, that weird singing lady, has revealed seven of the Survivors are professional models placed on the show by their casting agencies to “pretty up” the show.
Wanda tells TV Guide, “Out of the 20 people that were originally cast, they cut seven and put pretty people from modeling agencies in instead, so that they would have the eye candy. We found that out while we were there [in Palau]. When we asked [each other], ‘What did you do for your audition tape?’ some of the people would say, ‘Oh, well, I didn’t really do an audition tape.'” So there you have it. Seven worthy human beings were cast off in favor of bimbo factor. Perhaps the next Survivor should take a page from The Apprentice playbook and pit tribes against each other based on certain attributes.
Perhaps, planted modeling agency pretty people could be pit against regular humans. Then, we’d finally know whether or not looks really have anything to do with survival.
