    - not all the time they don't. Netflix didn't do that for Great Baking Show. -- nm - Remlik Nov 14, 12:08 1

    - It is a pixie-level business model. -- nm - Spawn Nov 14, 11:33 1

        last night they showed kellee walking on the beach towards the water and (sp?) - amanda Nov 14, 11:27 3
        
        I'm pretty sure that scene (and one other that I know was from the first episode) was shown in support of Kellee - so they were before the meeting. - Alex Wilder Nov 14, 11:32
        
        The way that they edit these episodes, it's always kind of tricky to pin down a timeline. - David Nov 14, 11:29 1
        
        I agree with this. You can't assume it's chronological each episode. -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Nov 14, 11:34
