Most candidates turned up for their slots, with some cancelling their bookings for unknown reasons. Surprisingly some of the candidates who didn't book at all, or cancelled without rebooking, were running for FTO positions. This would cause later issues for the candidate montages and interviews for the results night stage show. Despite being told several times not to (or at least e-mail ahead), some candidates still chose to wear green - often entering the studio saying "I know you didn't want us to wear green, but...". In other words, business as usual. Of particular note was a pair running for Women's Officer who had brought along rabbits, which they wanted to hold during their video. This was declined (by Peter, who felt really bad afterwards!) because of the unknown quantity that is live animals in a hot and brightly-lit TV studio, and it wasn't known whether the room agreement even allowed animals. | Most candidates turned up for their slots, with some cancelling their bookings for unknown reasons.

There a few small casualties in the lighting department: On Saturday evening, the one trico that still did green started flickering, and then died all together. This was believed to be a heat-related issue, and it was turned off for the rest of the day. It had recovered by the start of filming on Sunday, and worked fine for the rest of the weekend with careful management. Also on Sunday, [[Anthony Williams|Anthony]] spotted that the bulb was bulging in one of the asymmetric floods. Fortunately this was found before a huge block of filming in the afternoon. | |||
Overall, the weekend was fairly relaxed, with a lot of downtime for the production team. Whilst on Saturday some crew members did not leave until midnight (when the last of the days videos had been uploaded), Sunday morning and early-afternoon were mostly free - with the production team going to Courtyard for lunch. There was a flurry of candidates between 2pm and 5pm on the Sunday, with exporting on hold until Grace could come in to level the audio. The team eventually left at 11pm on Sunday night. | Overall, the weekend was fairly relaxed, with a lot of downtime for the production team.
