What was behind the rumor about the first Survivor that claimed that parts of it (probably the one on one interviews) were recorded later in a tv studio? I'm reminded of it because an old episode of Family Guy has a bit on it claiming Peter was on there and shows him chewing out B.B. about washing his stuff in the drinking water then he trips and a wall falls over and there's Bob barker doing The Price is Right.

Someone would probably know more details than I do, but wasn't it something to do with some of the one on one interviews? I thought it came out that some of the interviews when they asked the survivors what they thought about various people/events were reshot to add drama or create some background. On some of the later seasons some competitions were partly reshot to get better camera angles - but none of the reshooting affected the game, only the tv show footage.

Mark Burnett himself has admitted to doing reenactments:

You know they are really good at that. Anyone recall the season enders where you can't tell where the actual tribal council out there ends, and the tribal council in front of the audience begins?

I think they lost something or didn't have good sound to something and re-created the sound track in a studio. It's been so long ago I don't remember. I remember they reinacted some of the underwater challenges in later episodes because they couldn't get good enough footage for the viewers to follow the game.

Yeah, the re-enactments thing is old news. I remember everyone was all up in the air when it came out. The season that had them jumping off the cliff for the first challenge and someone couldn't swim? That was faked, or parts of it were.

Remember, too, that they don't always walk or boat to the challenges or the tribal council. There was somewhere (Africa maybe?) where they were driven partway, cause the tribal was so far from camp.
