Tommy, I absolutely agree. The producers have, from what we've been shown, not been very good at establishing exactly what the directors could do. This was only the second or third day of shooting, and I think they just figured that the directors would leave the script as it was, and that Erica would be there to watch the proceedings, and IF something happened she would take it upon herself and step in and help/confront.
They should have laid down a much more firm procedure for what her role was and what they could do with her material. It seems they were doing that now though. The scene where Moore was asking her why she didn't have a headset so she could listen to the actors was telling. Nobody knew what her role was, she was just hanging around basically.
THis is also very new for the contestant winners, so I can't be too hard on them. The directors were used to running the show on the small projects they did before, now they can't. It's a whole new operation for them. The writer is going to have her name on the final product, so she is understandably concerned that it is indeed her vision that will be up there on the screen, and not someone else's (especially if it turns out bad).
