 Survivor must be staged
Episode 4 has a disturbing occurrence that proves Survivor must be staged, or, at least, important parts of it. For those of you who TIVO'd the episode, you can prove it to yourself by examining the last throw in the Reward Challenge frame by frame.
There are 2 shots of Dave's winning throw, a long shot followed by a closeup. They can't be the same throw, so which was the real throw? You'll see that the first throw---shown in the long shot-- hits the sand and, perhaps , bounces an inch before rolling on a line which looks outside that which would hit Dave's previous ball. They then switch to a closeup of a ball coming in high which hits Dave's previous ball on the fly and knocks it forward to win the match.
These can't be shots of the same throw. The first shot already shows the ball hitting the sand and not bouncing high. There are also problems with the editing. Dave's second to last ball lands side by side to another one of his throws, but when Russel throws his last ball, there are not 2 purple ball side by side. I can understand and tolerate 'sloppy' editing.
But when there are 2 different throws that are supposed to be the same throw, something is seriously wrong. The Challenge must have been staged.  |
