Survivor: Edge of Extinction

The thing I didn't like about the whole "Devens running around and hiding from people" segment was the cameras. Rick was hiding, but the camera guys were in clear view so the people tracking him only had to notice the crew. It was weird how they edited the clips to make it look like the followers didn't notice him even though a camera guy was clearly visible to them

It's been brought up before(mainly because of Tony and his spy shack). There's cameras all over the place that after awhile, people just stop noticing them. So if you see a camera from far away, you're not really suspicious because chances are, you've seen cameras all around 24/7 for weeks, some probably from distances like that.

in an innocent situation you may forget about the crew, but when you're actually tracking someone who is hiding you'd pay attention

Most of these people aren't highly intelligent and add food deprived minds, not having much interest in really following him, it wasn't that hard to see them missing him. They were tired or lazy, sitting around camp. Most of them didn't even seem to want to go after him.

Most of the time is sitting around doing nothing since they can't do much exploring any more.

Now some of those scenes could have been reenactments to get proper angles.

And like what was said, there are a ton of camera guys running around. They are not just shooting the contestants. They are shooting wildlife, getting footage they is used throughout the season. just because some camera guy is down a hill andfiwlming you up above as you walk by doesn't mean there is someone there.

I assume they are just out shooting, and a contestant comes by, they are trained to stop and focus on them, every time, just to keep generating content that might be used. So, sure, they could jump and walk down every hill when they see a cameraman, but I would assume it would get old when ever and over again it's just a camera man that shooting a lizard eating grasshopper, only to stop and film them as they walk by.

I think it is easier than that. They have a limited number of cameras and if it is following something, it is probably a person. They don't want to miss things, so they may have people out in spots, but generally not just out in the trees filming nothing.

I dont think they're filming nothing, but they probably do have multiple cameras on a conversation so you dont think much of it when seeing a camera 20 feet away when theres one 2 feet from you

You guys make good points but I still don't buy it, Rick was just as malnourished as anyone, hell he even had a stint on the edge, and he still had the energy to zoom around and hide from people and have a good time with it. Regardless, finale is coming up and I'm excited
