I think the reaction by the gay mates and James caught the producers by surprise. James says that despite their anger and feelings of betrayal, they gave the show back to the producers in the end and said 'here, you guys produce it and make it good'.... which is probably why at the end, the mood of the thing was directed to a more personal/intimate one, and there were so many voice overs from the straight mates (I think to show that they had better reasons than just money or malicious trickery) -- the thing they really left out was how angry James really was. Though they did put in the bit about why James decided to stay (knowing that there were still gay mates left who didn't know, and to leave them mid-way would have been disrespectful of their time).
