I think 'Survivor' and 'Big Brother' are technically game shows so there would be severe penalties to CBS if it were discovered anything that would affect the outcome was staged. They certainly do manipulate how events and personalities are portrayed via editing - The "bad" contestant is only shown being "bad" and discussions that would clue people in to surprise votes are cut out.

There have been many, many convos in our 100+ page Big Brother season long threads where people have said that some things are, let's say "nudged" by the producers. One example I remember from this season (this was from the spoiler thread, which I don't read, so I could be somewhat off) was that Frank had to draw names out of a bag for a competition, and the producers called him into the DR just beforehand and gave him the names they wanted in the comp, so he "pulled them out" out of the bag when the time came.
