They were all, bar maybe Dan and Matt, possibly franky and marylise, absolutely shitfaced. That didn’t help re the drama.
Saying it didn't help is mostly likely an impressive understatement I reckon.
Plied with drink throughout with a weather eye on the outcome, more likely.
I always remember talking to a participant in a reality show years ago. Four couples over a week. His wife absolutely refused to speak to camera after day one and stayed pretty mute the rest of the time. I guess they couldn't afford to go back to the start so by sticking to her guns she got away with it. These days, for the most part, I reckon they road test for the loose of lip and easily lead above all else.
