Could my opinion be the result of editing? Of course, because all we see is edited. But I actually believe Swapnil was kept on longer than he deserved to be. I've seen this throughout the seasons - contestants who are deemed "with potential" get passes from time to time.

Tim is there to goad them to be better. If I were slacking off and I got called out for it I might be embarrassed because it happened in front of everyone but I don't think Tim, in the role as mentor-to-all, can risk getting into private discussions with contestants. It has to be all out in the open.
