Costumes are an important part of reality television as they allow viewers to distinguish between different characters. Specific costume details like color, condition, and style can imply character traits and backstories. For example, worn clothing could suggest a character is unkept or facing financial hardship. The main presenter will wear a formal suit to appear respectable, in contrast to contestants whose costumes will reflect their unique situations and location to add realism, such as wearing nice clothes while in the wilderness. A creature character will be played by an actor in a morph suit to mask their identity and add mystery.

affection.
