THE GREENVILLE NEWS is reporting that SURVIVOR Castoff Ashlee Ashby who was voted off last week on SURVIVOR PALAU says she never wanted to be branded with the reality TV label. In fact, she says, it´s a big reason why she asked to be voted off the island.
The show´s editing, Ashby says, made it seem her aloofness was her demise, but not shared with the audience was her explicitly asking fellow tribe members to boot her off the island. She wanted off both because she couldn´t stomach the conniving nature of "the game" and because she feared the label might hinder her aspirations to be an actress.
Reality shows are all about typecasting, and if you´re on the show long enough, you risk becoming known professionally as little more than "That Girl From SURVIVOR" says Ashby.
The show, she says, gave her just the exposure she was looking for.
