How do I film for 10+ continuous hours?

Hello,

I am going to be filming a reality show in the near future, which will consist of 7 people living in a house together, somewhat like The Real World. I know what cameras and equipment i'll be needing for this project, but my one concern and question is-

How will I be able to shoot throughout the day without stopping filming to change camera batteries and memory cards? I know big cable networks are able to do this with their cameras, since it's a must to have the cameras rolling at all times in order to not miss any footage.

Thank you all for your help!
 
The big reality shows are staged so you would have producers telling and directing your 'actors' when to talk, what to talk about, and when to cause drama. THEN you film after you've instructed it. Plenty of time to change batteries and cards.
