Survivor is attempting to control its Winners at War narrative by ordering contestants not to contradict the TV version of events

Denise Stapley recently posted on her Facebook that "as players we’re asked not to offer ANY type of commentary or insight about game play or strategy. This includes any live tweeting, blogging, or Q & A’s with fans. And we’re asked not to respond in detail to any questions that would offer inside information, insight, or rationale into strategy that viewers would not see on the show. Sadly this includes even simple questions like ‘how long were you up on that pole???' If the screen didn’t show it…I can’t share it.” As Reality Blurred's Andy Dehnart put it: "Perhaps there’s a reason, outside of spoilers, to prohibit the cast from talking about their experiences. But all I see there is a network and production’s attempt to control the narrative—to control people, and to control reality." ALSO: Watch Stephen Colbert's quarantine-themed Survivor parody.
