DEEP DIVE: Reality TV Interviews & Confessionals

Interview bites make or break whole episodes, and well, series! Let’s deep dive into the all important power of the confessional. In this episode, Liv is taking you into the interview chair to reveal the secrets behind how we get those tearful testimonials.

In this episode, we go over some of the basics:

• OTF vs. Sit-Down: What's the difference between an on-the-fly interview and the polished confessionals you see on shows like The Valley?

  
  

• The Power of the Question: The secret to getting a great "bite" from a cast member—and how producers get them to talk in the present tense about a past event.

  
  

• Wardrobe, Hair, and Timing, Oh My!: We dive into who pays for their wardrobe and glam, and how often they are filming these interviews (and are they repeating looks?!)
