Considering both shows are shot several months in advance of broadcast. I am always surprised that there are never any leaks , other than the odd camera photo. How do they manage to keep a lid on it year in year out, other shows of this type have trouble stop leaks. for a couple of weeks

That intrigues me as well. I know how they do it for the final - they actually film two endings, with Sugar telling each of the final two that they've won, and then they tell the actual winner who they are just before the broadcast.

I don't know what they do about the taxi interview though - do they record both of them doing it, or do they record that later after it's revealed to them? I kind of hope it's the second one just because I would like the taxi interview to be genuine, but I imagine it's the former option.

There was a vid on youtube from the Womad task, which is why we (from the spoiler thread) knew that Lucy, Andrew and Steven would go very far in the show.

This. There are very few spoilers usually, though, unless there is a face-to-face selling task involved and even then, spoilers are thin on the ground. Whoever is making sure there is no leaks is doing a very good job.

I believe they film both taxi interviews and just use the one for the winner. I'll try to find out.

I believe there is an informal agreement with the media that they will not publish spoilers, in return for which they get access to previews and to the candidates for interviews. Similarly, I believe it's in the PR contracts all candidates have to sign with Taylor Herring that they are not allowed to disclose spoilers in advance. For this series of YA they've even prevented candidates from being on Twitter during the series (although several are now).

Also, enough people watch the show that any media outlet that publishes spoilers will lose a significant number of readers.
