Welcome to the debut episode of Reality Remix — and we’re kicking it off with heat.
In “Method to the Madness,” we sit down with the brilliant and unfiltered @TEGWYTH — reality TV thinker, cultural commentator, and social media standout — to break down the evolving strategy and spectacle of modern reality TV, and uncover exclusive first reactions to her next big gig.
From Survivor’s shifting casting priorities to the rise of influencer-era storytelling, we get into:
- How social media is reshaping who gets cast — and why
- What “authenticity” even means in the age of curation
- Survivor casting tapes of Mike Turner and Sandra Diaz
- Why being a good player isn’t always enough
- Behind-the-scenes vibes on what’s next for TEGWYTH
- And her take on the messy, magical transformation of reality TV today
This episode is full of laughs, insights, and sharp takes that’ll have you rethinking how you watch the game — and how the game watches you.
Because in reality TV, there’s always a method… even when it looks like madness.
Hit play. You’re not just watching anymore — you’re inside the remix.
