Where do TV crews stay when shooting in the wilderness or extreme settings?
Overseas or out in the wild, or in the third world, or wherever is not five star or on a beach or luxury cruise, the crew offer to share the same accommodations as the reality show contestants. I'm sure there are some exceptions to that. Overall you have to be pretty tough to work one of those shows. You have to be willing to sleep on the ground. You have to be willing to sleep in a sleeping bag anywhere. You have to be willing to sleep with a mosquito net over you. You have to be willing to go without sleep, which is probably more to the point. It depends on the setup of the reality show. Certainly there will be accommodations nearby, but if you don't have time to go to them, you don't have time to go to them.
