Is the beginning staged?


At the beginning when it shows the contestants talking to each other, do you think that is really real that they are genuinely talking to each other or staged? Because sometimes it looks really forced.

I heard they talk about a certain topic

My mom was on WL, and she told me that it's sort of staged, but not really. The producers tell them to talk to each other, but they can talk about whatever they want.

it's obviously staged. The contestants are told to huddle in one spot and pretend they are chatting about something interesting. They are also told not to look at the camera hovering nearby that is filming them.

Otherwise they would all be standing there looking at the ceiling like a group of people standing in an elevator or a bus stop.
