How do reality show post production editors differ from other TV editors?

What's happening in reality TV is because shooting and post-production often happen at the same time. They have editors, of course, to edit the videotape. But they also have super editors, who are given much more authority to put the story together, because they're the ones who are going to spend the time actually seeing all the tape, seeing all the coverage, more so than the producers. The producers may not have time to edit the reality show. The story producers may be out picking up their next interview.
