31. Contestants Play Certain Roles, Like “Villain,” “Victim” or “Good Girl”

Maybe Megan is on to something. Cosmopolitan ran an expose on the show, revealing that they do take liberties when it comes to how contestants come across in the final cuts. In order to make good TV, there has to be conflict, and when there’s conflict, there’s usually a villain making it happen. There’s even a name for when they find a girl who might be a little more mean-spirited or at least a little more willing to say harsh things. It’s called the “villain edit.:

Director Ken Fuchs has his army – assistants, camera people, producers – comb through hours and hours of footage trying to spot any sort of drama. “A girl will fall ill, or she’ll pass out, or a fight will take place,” he told Cosmo. “We like it when things are happening. It means we’re making television.”

Often “making television” means skewing the narrative in post production. Sometimes these so-called “villains” don’t even know they’re being cast that way until it starts airing.

Sometimes contestants will appear as “crazy” or “unstable.” This happened to Lace Morris on her season, as ABC dubbed her “50 Shades of Crazy.” Although she may be a perfectly delightful human being, that doesn’t keep folks talking about the episode the next morning at work or all week long on Twitter. As Tierra LiCausi from season 17 says, “Every season has one.”
