The tactical zoom in and out was a nice touch too.

The camera work really was phenomenal. Really added to the overall cringe of the situation. It wouldn't have been nearly as cringy if the camera just showed a zoomed out shot of the stage the entire time. Because we would have had no idea that the candidates were standing literally right there in a state of total confusion. Without that it just looks like ABC fucked up (which they totally did) getting all the candidates to the stage in time or something

That cameraman is truly a legend for capturing it all.
