Survivor – Fake

With its groundbreaking format of shipping contestants to a remote location and pitting them against one another, Survivor changed reality shows forever. While on the island, Survivor contestants must face not only the emotional toll of being so far away from the world for an extended period of time, but also extreme physical challenges every single episode.

Sadly, the physical “challenges” are not truly that challenging. First, while it might seem like the Survivors hike a long distance to the challenge location, they are actually driven there! Then, according to the Today Show, there are rehearsals for the challenges, so contestants can feel comfortable doing them. So, the next time you see someone acting as though they’ve never done the challenge before, knowing they’re hamming it up for the camera.
