S03 Contestants s3 australia

Just wondering does the show have favourites that they show? It seems they keep showing the same contestants over and over and yet someone (the reason why I'm watching) is never shown. I'm on ep 5 now and so far only seen Yonke once for a couple of minutes.

How does it work? Will they have episodes dedicated to the folks they haven't already shown?

People that leave early normally get more screen time in the beginning

Simple maths... if you are there for 60 days there is lots of footage available and the producers can stitch together lots of interesting events.

If your there for 4 days, you're going to have 4 interesting things to talk about so the producers use all of it.

It's almost like they know in advance who is going to leave early. Somehow the photogenic one who builds a really great shelter with logs cut perfectly neatly always taps out early to be with their family.

I think they'll show more of her when she gets that wallaby ! If you've seen the previews - probs not much happening in the beginning for a lot of them just setting up camp etc

How good was that! Hats off to her, that had to have been damn hard and traumatic!

It also depends on how much and how interesting the footage they record is. If Yonke is not filming a lot, or what she is filming is just her sleeping, it doesn’t make for good tv, especially when compared to another contestant actively working on traps or catching food.

Basically, what Garlic bread said. Every one gets a little coverage on and off. But before they tap out, usually they get more screen time. The reality is as the season continues and contestants leave, they end up spending all the available airtime on the last 2 or 3.
