Without properly evaluating the plot, they couldn't have noticed the ridiculous plot-holes. I can only surmise that they had to write something shocking yet entertaining in a very short amount of time... either that, or they were just incredibly blasé about the entire thing and thought they could get away with being a bit lazy

Well, as a writer myself, all I can say is that the whole "under pressure and deadline" excuse is not gonna cut it with me. Coming up with a logical, shocking, and entertaining plot is not difficult, there are plenty of plausible yet shocking ideas and twists they could have easily gone with, instead they chose the dumbest way. If a simple college student such as myself can come up with a plausible storyline, then I don't see why the writers (who are paid to write it) can't. It's an insult to the fans' intelligence. And frankly a shame and disgrace to all writers everywhere.
