This sounds like a good idea to me, I like their thinking natural people shine in person where as people on film may not be who they say they are! for instance I'm funny, like to tell jokes and go out all the time drinking where as in reality they try to tell jokes but get no laughs and very rarely go out drinking at all
I know this does not apply to all but may be they also realised the videos would take forever to watch and time is ticking. It's worth a try and at least they are trying to improve the show every year even if the past two weren't what we hoped for!
