I guess I don't understand the OP's post saying that it isn't editing. Seems to me that that is exactly the issue he is describing! All the footage is edited together to tell the story they want to tell for each individual episode. Hair changes sometimes not only during cuts when they are giving interviews, but throughout the entire episode. They can pan past say Ashleigh and one moment her hair is clean and straight, pan back 5 seconds later and it's in a ponytail and hardly brushed. Then add in what you said about some interviews being finished up later, it all has to be spliced together. I don't think at all that any of that indicates that it is fake. They are actually there, the others are real inmates, and the people decided to participate for whatever reasons they had. It is however highly manipulated, and edited into whatever the producers want it to be. If they wanted, they could have made Quinten out to look like a raving lunatic and Monalisa to look like a saint. I just take it for what it is, and enjoy it if I like it. It is just mindless TV.
Why the OP thinks we need to "trust him because he is a film editor" that it is fake sounded more like him wanting to lend credibility to his opinion, than it did to prove his post being fact.
I can't die! I have 43 twitter followers that depend on me! oh, and I have a daughter.
