I've been editing reality TV for 15 years, and if it's any consolation I've seen this happen a few times. It sucks, but shouldn't be the end of the world. You mentioned a sound guy, so audio was running, right? A good editor will hopefully be able to salvage the best sound bites from that, covered with broll, and occasionally cutting to the take you did film. Not 100% as effective, but the episode will be fine.

^ no experience being a cameraman or TV editor, and I'd say this is how I'd expect them to do it. Sound guy got the whole recording. Sucks you won't see him cry, but you can still hear it lol. Now I'm gonna spend the next year watching cooking shows and wait for a contestant #5 who never had a post-interview

And with this comment, a new type of guerilla marketing was born.

Except they're going to have to watch all the competitors ones too so not sure it's as good as you might think.

Sounds like a conspiracy by the big reality cooking show guys.

OP please give us a hint and let’s okay Reddit charades, when is this show on? Channel? How many words and letters in the title? What does the title sound like?

Sound advice here, and 100% legit they can make it work with his VO over alternate footage. This will be why you never forget to check you’re recording in the future.
