Exclusive interview with survivor's Big Daddy
Terence Pillay shares his exclusive interview with Big Daddy, Chris Cloete, to find what exactly goes into bringing the survivor experience to the small screen.
Three years ago, I was invited by MNet to play a special game of Survivor South Africa in the Maldives before the actual show aired.
The game was grueling and I ended up leading a team revolt after spending just one night and two days on the island. No one was happy…
This year when MNet invited me to the South China Sea to repeat the experience, I opted for the creature comforts of a luxury island cabana rather than sleep on a cold, hard, rock-riddled beach, foraging for food in a dense jungle.
In so doing, I got a ring-side seat into exactly what makes the show tick – and the exhaustive long hours that go into bringing us some of the most compelling viewing on South African TV.
Listen to the exclusive interview Terence had with Project Director Big Daddy Chris Cloete, and find out exactly what goes into bringing this experience to the small screen.
