Based on past experience, I'd say it's very likely they won't even get IN until 1 - it never starts on time, plus they do all the ID checks/sign the legal papers.
Then, there's a good 30-45 + minutes of warm up with a comedian guy, another 15-30 minutes of reaction shots.
THEN they watch the shows - and if they see both the finale (or even a shortened version of it) that's probably 60-75 minutes of show (taking out commercials, recap, etc.)
THEN ATFR1 - another 40 or so minutes
There's always a little dead time, a legal guy, etc.
It's easily 4 before they'll even start taping - and I'd guess 2ish hours for that. They always way overtape.
I'd say 6 is probably far closer to when they'll be done.
Hope that helps.
