Starting Situation

Night six of a dating reality show's live-in shoot, in a private interview room set up in the last room at the end of the second floor of the house. Two lights, one camera, and him, sitting cross-legged in a folding chair in front of the monitor. A directing PD who's been doing this job for seven years, he has already written down on his cue sheet who you talked to in the living room today, for how many minutes, and even where you put your hands at the time. As you sit down, he turns the monitor screen slightly away, twists the cap off the bottle of water on the table, and slides it toward you. The camera's red light is still off.
