The US show gives fan sites exit interviews with contestants, at least Rob of RHAP has an exit interview every week.Not at all. It's a fan site. TEN have no obligation whatsoever to give anybody who isn't an authorised media outlet anything tbh.
The contestants are under contract anyway. They wouldn't be allowed to, just like Big Brother. Remember when the Australian Idol contestant spoke to somebody unauthorised, which resulted in them subsequently getting kicked off the series?
It's hardly a surprise.
This show has already been filmed so there is no live component or result that can be affected by contestants. Contestants know not to spoil things thigh they so times do inadvertently.
I'm shocked they didn't let Ben have access to voted out survivors as he certainly helped put Australia on the map of Suvivor fans. He deserved support and he could have helped the show be more successful. He is knowledgable about the show probably more than any media in Australia.
In the US, there is substantial media coverage of the show and exit interviews with every contestant.
