We need to talk about edit.

There is obviously a great deal of talk about how the show is edited, what’s “missed out”, how players are viewed etc etc. The producers cannot possibly show everything that happens in twenty four hours in an hour show but if you wonder how it works this article gives a great insight.

In summary they edit Agatha Christie style and work backwards. She would always choose ‘whodunnit’ and then work back writing the story to fit the criminal. The edit team start with the banishment and then look for clues and breadcrumbs for that day as to where their name comes up or things they do to fit the narrative.

This article (which hopefully I’ve gifted so it’s not paywalled) goes into more detail. Please forgive the punning in this post title. 😉
