Original Castaway Trish Prater Warns Against Reality TV
Trish Prater, an original participant in Castaway 2000 has spoken to the Sunday Mail today, warning people who want to appear in a reality TV show, to consider their future very carefully before attending that audition.
Trish makes some fabulous points about the shift in reality TV shows and their casting process, and states:
“Reality shows now pick people in a different way. The more wacky you are, the better.
“They push the boundaries all the time. Look at Jade Goody on Big Brother. She wouldn’t have lasted on Castaway. She would have stormed off.”
Trish has some very striong views on the new Castaway show due to air on the BBC, and believes that 3 months on a warm New Zealand island can in no way compare to her experience of a year on a remote (and cold) Scottish Island.
Trish will be kindly doing an interview with us here on Unreality TV later this week, so watch this space!

I have to agree with Trish - reality television is all about extremes of personality now, not the experience itself. You have to audition promising to argue, cause mayhem and maybe cross dress. How many do you see screaming at the audition camera and insisting that they are unique, good at having an argument and will be really, really wacky? In BB last year, there was so much silicone it almost poked your eyes out! What’s the point in that - it just turns the whole thing into a circus show.
