I am not sure what happened.
The contestant Kristin was injured on the beach.
Neil De Groot turned into a rather large asshole...
Not that he was freaking out druing the mishap;
He managed the situation -- Like Captain Kurtz.
Barking orders, pissed-off etc…
At one point, though, I saw him laughing with Ryan just beyond where Kristin was flattened out and being attended to by the medic.
This made me feel a bit better until, moments later I saw how much blood she had lost.
During the incident everyone remained calm -- except the Casting Wrangler who, I believe was blaming herself.
But it kind of played out like a strange bit of theatre, as if it wasn't really real and I was just a spectator.
Not that I just stood there; I tried to help, getting water, towels, seaching for the stretcher.
Once the bleeding was stopped and I walked back to base camp, and I met up with Perry, I noticed that he visably shaking.
He was in the control room when it happened and said he saw her fall but that was about it.
I may be too tired to explain this…
The production of the show was shut down.
Completely.
Gil was silent.
And though I didn't see it, I was told that Dave was pretty upset, crying.
Perry and I were escorted back to our hotel by this Puerto Rican Jack Lalaine, the security guard with leathery skin and a fucking gun.
Not that he threatened us in any way: he was actually a real nice man;
It’s just the fact that he had a gun and we’re being driven off the beach, through the thicket and back to the hotel.
However, since Neil never noticed (realized, remembered, I don't know) that Ari was part of the Doc crew, he was able to stay back and shoot the helicopter arrive and life-flight Kristin to Puerto Rico.
The hospital is a different story altogether.
WE ARE DENIED ANY AND ALL ACCESS TO THE HOSPITAL, THE STAFF AND KRISTIN.
It becomes very tense once the Puerto Rican producers arrive.
Perry's Spanish is a little better than piss poor but we both have the same feeling: they're wanting to confiscate the camera.
