Reality TV audiences want the thrill of the natural performer. But industry executives know that dealing with an unknown person is not always a risk that pays off. When competition shows seek to make a star out of an “average” person and go casting in the streets of major cities, producers want to unearth raw talent, not a social media landmine.
An in-depth social media report is quickly becoming a standard of due diligence across a range of industries
Before anyone steps in front of a reality TV camera, they should be vetted by professionals. Otherwise, they are a potential risk liability for everyone from the producers to the network. Reality TV fans rank among social media’s loudest voices, and they are never shy about exposing a contestant’s problematic old tweets or lambasting a network for a contestant’s embarrassing behavior.
For several years, SMI Aware has worked with TV producers and networks to identify social media posts by potential contestants that might be of concern. An in-depth social media report is quickly becoming a standard of due diligence across a range of industries, not just entertainment. Given that, it makes sense to hand the task over to professionals rather than trust such a critical report to your in-house staff, who may overlook red flags or provide an inconsistent analysis level.
