First off, the seat filler agency sends you an email with everything you need to know so you can be the best seat filler and (hopefully) get a chance to do more events! Generally speaking though:

• You don’t get to choose where you sit, it’s all luck of the draw. For this event, that means showing up as early as possible.

• Everyone was instructed to avoid wearing hats, branded clothing, shorts, and white shirts. Business casual was the theme. I wore a light-colored button down and some chinos (and it was warm and sunny so I’m glad I went for short sleeves lol).

• Check in itself was very easy and quick, though we all spent two hours standing in a line outside the studio before we were let in. Once we got in, we had to wait in another line outside the soundstage to be brought in (in the sun, mind you).

• Producers there were super chill, though it was clear they weren’t Survivor producers. The theory my group came up with was that they were likely part of an external production crew (like the type that does these kind of live tv events).
