There’s a hidden craft behind reality TV casting. Unlike actors, contestants don’t have résumés—just real lives and personalities. Casting directors like Jesse Tannenbaum shape the stories you can’t stop watching, handpicking stars for Survivor and The Amazing Race who are authentic, magnetic, and utterly bingeable, like Survivor 48's Eva Erickson and Mitch Guerra. “It’s about the contestants, the relationships, the dynamics, and their storytelling ability," Tannenbaum told Deadline during an Emmy-nominee roundtable.
