To be honest, the amount he cries, I really think the Tigers should dig a well!

What you seem to be completely forgetting is that the edit can change a lot of things.

That conversation we had with Danny around the fireplace went on for over 40 minutes, it wasn't 30 seconds and then I was calling him selfless, he told us all a lot more than what you see on camera.

You don't see when at the beach party I was pulled to one side and told to go see Jack and tell him that we'd all missed him etc.
You also don't see when production ask me during dinner to say "have you enjoyed having X here".

If I genuinely respected and wanted whoever to be on the island, what's the problem with telling them that, yes it's being portrayed in a slightly sychophantic manner but that's not how it was intended to be.
There's probably 50 hours of footage per week, per island filmed and that's cut into 20 mins each.
Neither do you see how certain Sharks will kiss the arse of new arrivals and if they choose Tigers they've turned round afterwards and said "It's fine, we didn't want them on our island anyway".

Just remember, there's a whole lot more going on behind the scenes and off camera...

well said

I always take things on any reality show with a pinch of salt anyway, afterall they want to make good viewing don't they so they will edit all they like to get a good 'storyline'. Its an entertainment show afterall...

Im surprised they didn't let you speak to him off camera, did you ever get any time away from the cameras or were they constantly there 24/7? 

Urgh! Obviously you have to take what goes on the show with a pinch of salt, but that is going a bit too far on the part of the producers. I'm half tempted to stop watching it.

But even taking your points into account, you still came across as quite melodramatic.

Liam, thanks for reminding us of the power of the production team in portraying a picture that is more dramatic than reality.  We only see snapshots of your personality and time on the island.  I must admit that watching you I thought that at times you come across as insincere when talking to new arrivals but then again, you would do if the x amount of hours you had spent bonding with people had been edited out. Sadly, by going on a reality programme people are going to judge you based on what they see. (But on the flipside you get to have an incredible experience that will stay with you for life.)

Whenever I watch or listen to recordings of myself I cant help cringing.   How does it feel watching yourself in the episodes? I wouldnt be able to!

Hey Liam really appriciate you clearing all these things up, Is shipwrecked anything like you expected it to be, just seems too mapped out for my liking.
