Episode notes
Casting The Crew
- Santiago advertised globally and picked a multiracial, attractive microcosm of strangers aged 25–40 to join the raft.
- He recruited professionals like a female captain, doctor, cameraman, priest, and others to fill necessary roles.
Questionnaires Overboard
- Santiago combined daily observation, weekly questionnaires and graphology to quantify mood, attraction, and aggression.
- He tracked menstrual cycles, moon phase, waves and personal diaries, mixing serious measures with pseudo-scientific ones.
Intimate Surveys
- Weekly questionnaires asked intimate sexual questions: masturbation frequency, wet dreams, and who crew members fantasized about.
- Maria refused to complete any questionnaires, undermining Santiago's data completeness.
