Does anyone know why the 1-minute departure rule wasn't followed this time?

Production difficulties have been known to give teams time credit.

Either credit for production difficulties, or unaired penalties or a combination. (As a for instance a 15-minute penalty and a 15-minute credit for production difficulties could offset.

Maybe the TPTB knew that 1 minute made no difference in getting to a bus that left hours later.

That doesn't matter. They are very exact with these departure times, even if there is a bunching ahead.

A one-minute production credit? I'm not so sure about that one. Following the standard rules would have had Carol & Brandy departing one minute later. Have they just done away with those rules? :duno:
theschnauzers:
No, maybe a net difference in credit of penalties that amount to one minute.
We're never told about this stuff unless it makes a difference in what we see in the episode; and with not show all departure times starting to become a habit, there's even more wiggle room as to what the viewer is told than formerly.
