What does a reality TV 'story producer' do?

Classically, the reality show story producer is the person who is reviewing all of the video tape and letting the higher-ups know where the story is going on a particular character or in a particular sequence of beats. They're responsible for letting the people in the field know, "You know what we're really missing at this point? We saw this person go through emotion A and then emotion C, but I don't have anything to connect them. I need an emotion B moment to get you from A to C. I see them happy and then I see them sad but I missed the jealousy in the middle." That's what a story producer can let the person in the field know that they're missing.
