In charge of Host story. Covered and OTF'd three hosts during contestant's performance of driving challenges and prepped each for pre-elim deliberations. Full sit down interviews at the top and bottom of the series. Managed and tracked contestant scores and rankings.

Developments and planned segments for follow-docu series. I primarily scouted and booked locations and segment guests.

Booked locations, special guests, lied my face off to owners, built and broke trust, all the usual reality stuff...
