I suspect it's the former.

This particular example might make you think that, but I'd need to get someone who'd seen the whole show to really understand what I mean - the thing is that sometimes they have the judges saying things that they certainly didn't say at all. If I can work out how to get clips uploaded somehow it would be interesting to show some more examples.
