interviews..

So i stopped watching teevee decades ago- OK 10 years ago, but still...

i am curious as to those little statements of the contestants during the show- are those shot after finishing the show, or shot during the show...which wouldn't make sense ofc..they surely would deserve an academy award for their performance, which i assume is an 'performance'..

i am kinda new to this reality-tv, so bare with me- if this is shot after the show, this is the only downfall for me, apart from taht i like it.
