She turned 21 during her stay and still didn't drink. While it would have
been permissible to do so while she was 20 (with her father's consent), it
would seem that BB could have gotten in trouble for providing that alcohol.
That wouldn't apply to Survivor, which is filmed in locations with lower
drinking ages.
It's so easy for Survivor to edit out any footage of an 18-year-old drinking
that it's unlikely to become an issue.
