Well, we don't use the hero and villain word, actually.

That's something that social media talks about.

You know, behind the scenes, they're referred to as their names.

They're not referred to as heroes and villains because we don't really see them like that.

If anything, sometimes I think some participants get a good edit.

I would be more inclined to say you got lucky with your good edit because sometimes

Sometimes there are times when I guess some scenes are cut because it doesn't play in with this person is a good person.

to almost keep some integrity to the show that you know we can produce a happy ending it's it's interesting that they would happily go oh you know what throw that scene on the chopping room floor like we'll just pretend that didn't happen to protect them there's also an instance where a villain and i'm using quotations was topping a lot of flack by australia and towards the end they were just like cuddle cuddle her cut all their scenes um

because they just didn't want to feed the fuel anymore.

And so when that villain comes out blaming the edit, I'm like, you actually got protected because it could have been worse.

To the very end does align.

And there is enough of a turnaround that, so for example, say in a couple of weeks when we get into the mid season and it's on air,

some of those later episodes would still be getting edited and they could potentially be slightly impacted by audience.

But generally it doesn't happen.

But this was sort of a situation where that person was copying so much that the network execs were just like, this has gone too far.

We actually don't want this.

and we need to just get rid of all their scenes because we don't want to fuel the fire anymore.

I honestly am not across that whatsoever.

I just get the footage and cut it.

I don't know.
