In order to capture the 12 contestants on Insiders with their guards down, the producers of the reality competition Insiders have come up with an interesting twist: The 12 contestants think they’re auditioning for a reality show. Huh? How does that work?Nimiri takes her time going over how this works. The contestants, all in their 20s and early 30s, are led to believe that they’re in the final round of auditions for a Big Brother-style reality series. For 3 weeks, the group will live on a soundstage; in certain rooms, they’re told that there are cameras, but in the living quarters, they’re told that there are no cameras or microphones. In reality, that area has dozens of hidden cameras and microphones installed, recording their every move. They think they’re on an audition, but the competition has already started.Insiders Season 1 Download
Along the way, they’re confronted with a pair of actors posing as “good cop” and “bad cop” producers, and in a “white room” with a video “totem” in it, they’re shown a pie chart that compares their behavior to what the show considers a “perfect contestant”. How do they determine that? Supposedly, some software analyzed the behavior of every reality contestant ever and came up with the numbers.At a certain point, after a particular number are eliminated, the contestants will be told that they’ve been filmed all along. In the meantime, we see the usual alliances, contestants pairing up, on-camera fights that lead to “off-camera” meltdowns, and a real producer coming in to say she’s going to be fired because someone leaked a photo of the “white room”.The idea that drives Insiders is straightforward: Film people who don’t think they’re being filmed in order to see their unvarnished behavior. But the reality of making sure the contestants buy into the ruse is much more complex. The manipulation the show’s producers have to perform is at epic levels on this show, and the attempts to explain everything that gets thrown at these contestants take viewers out of the flow of getting introduced to the contestants and getting to see how they interact with each other
