Or he played a clever game by 'trusting' them to do the video so that when they lost he could blame it on that. Maybe even suspecting that entrusting this task with Stephen and Jenna it could well end up 'cheesy' and making sure to add in the directive that it shouldn't be too cheesy, thus covering himself from all angles.
As projectmanager he should have insisted on having the last say about the end product. They could easily have changed the whole cheesy message into something more classy or at least less cheesy, with the same cast and set.
Why didn't he put arty Gabrielle on this task?
