One of the producers who worked on the show, Brady Connell, told me, uh, s- something similar just w- in questions, "How is the show going to unfold, especially from the contestants' point of view, and in a way that can be edited for viewers? That was my responsibility."

And that seems to be completely accurate based on all of the stories that I heard.

Let's get out of here.' This thing is a live event.

There's no stopping it." And Brady Connell told me something similar.
