Never trust the order things happen in reality tv. They will show reaction shots to completely different things, mess up the order of shots, cut things completely out of order, etc, to drive a narrative.

It is bizarre to me that so many posters in this thread are discussing a tv show as if it reflects reality. Perhaps it is submarine marketing?

A friend was in one of those reality Amazing Races program, where another couple's husband was quite vilified; she said actually he was ok, but somehow they managed to get every single time he blew up and stitched it together to make him seem really terrible.

Reality shows make or break in two spots: casting and editing.

Whatever is in the middle is nice and all, but those two make it interesting
