This might sound dumb but I really don’t get it. Sometimes it looks like the interview (most often in a separate Interview room) was really made right at the time a scene happened, but then again you see people wearing the same things in every interview that supposedly should have happened across multiple days.

It’s completely made up. My uncle shot a pilot for a reality show about recovering crashed airplanes (his business).
They coached him to say things like “time is money” (untrue). They’d tell tell him to say “if we don’t finish this in the next “X” hours we lose everything” (untrue). They told him to berate his employees on camera (not his employees). It was the silliest thing ever.
The pilot never made it. His job is really cool and interesting, but he’s just to calm and relaxed for a show to work. The fact is that “safety is money” and “they get paid regardless by the insurance company” and it’s very important to “take their time”. The plane isn’t going anywhere.
Yes, it’s cool to recover a plane that crashed into a mountain at 12,000 feet with no roads. Yes it’s hard. The problem is, that it’s not exciting without making a big deal about a careful recovery. It’s all safety related so the pilot for the show didn’t work out.
Bottom line, it’s all semi-scripted and coached. The scripted stuff is shot after the job is done. The job still needs doing after all and the crew can’t get in their way while they’re picking up a crashed plane at 14,000 feet and the helicopter barely has lift.
