An example- in the episode where Brooke got expelled. There is a clip at the end where Mo calls Brooke's behaviors slutacious/whore-like and she said (in third person) "Monique, how can you laugh at that? Because Dammit it's funny!" That clip had Mo in a pink suit (or suit jacket) and curled hair. In the finale, she is seen filmed (talking about why she picked Saaphyri as the winner) in the very same spot, wearing the same thing with the same 'do as the Brooke comments. It is very obviously the same post-filming interview. Cast members are often called back during post-production to do "what were you thinking when ____ happened?" interviews (or even to re-record fuzzy/mumbled dialogue) and it's edited into the particular episode to look like the interview just happened. If you watch during the marathons, you'll notice a LOT of these interviews were identical to others.
For the record, though... this Saaphyri thing, with the pink hair interviews talking about the makeover that was supposedly complete, was driving me CRAZY! I've started to wonder if they actually put a wig on her for the makeover. It LOOKED like it could be a wig but they showed her pink extensions sitting on a table so I just really don't know!
Yeah, all the manipulation in the world might apply, but couldn't they just try to make it look real? That interview flaw is still bugging me (okay tell me to get a life now :lol)Quote:
