Crunch Time - S4-E16
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, Steve and John Sears are behind the table and one of them is about to be voted out of the fraternity. Pay attention to the scene where fraternity president Mike Ryan is giving instructions to the other fraternity brothers on how to vote and behave during this process. At the exact scene where Mike Ryan says, 'Your absolute silence is required', in the background we see Steve and John Sears staring down each other in anger. A split second later just as Mike Ryan finishes that sentence, the camera shot now just shows Steve sitting straight forward, looking down at his lap slightly in a kind of sad, defeated state.
Answer: There was no explanation. Usually, when a show doesn't know if it's going to be picked up or not, they will use stock footage until they can spend the money on a real location.
