If you listen to some of the commentaries with JP on the dvds, he's said before something along the lines of "we all thought so-and-so was going that
nigh but..." so its clear that he knows some of whats going on. I doubt he reviews all the footage, but he must get filled in by someone.
As to him interfering and trying to fuck people's plans up, yeah sometimes its frustrating but I'd do the same thing. You need to stir shit up especially if you're looking out for ratings, and it does add suspense to the show. We were all like, ok James should totally use an idol now, but will he do it? There was a moment of doubt where we didn't know for sure that James was going to be blindsided and that made it so much better when he still was. Also, it brings up questions for the future of the game. All the trust talk right before the fei longs were about to kill one of their own, should clue them in that maybe they can't trust eachother the way they thought they could, and low and behold, one of them turns next week.
