I read Jay surfing a playing cat planet in hotel which no person would ever come in there now. Some filming the weather is not very nice. Think filming as they have done might be the best for the cast and filmers.

I hope they don't. The griping around here is bad enough when we know they're producing as they go. Unless they fake BTS posts, we'd know the entries were finished, and knowing the next entry is sitting on a shelf somewhere would drive some fans crazy.
Regarding production during the break, it's probably better to keep your expectations low. It wouldn't be much of a break if they produced a big chunk of the entries during that time. If they did go that route, I'd imagine it'd be something more like a month-long break and two months of solid production. In order to keep the IG timeline, we'll still have to wait between uploads. I'd rather they keep combining the OOG production wait with the IG timeline, so we can spec between entries. I'm guessing we'll have a lot to discuss.
Nothing is forcing them to post BTS stuff to their blogs at the times they actually shoot entries.
Nothing about recording the entries ahead of time would force them to abandon the IG timeline.
If anything, having the entries shot ahead of time would allow them to actually do something interesting with the IG timeline rather than have it be the complete slave of the OOG production wait. An upload schedule with time for speculation between entries could be planned out in advance pretty damn easily.

I think he might be talking about this. I still don't know what's going on though.
On topic:
While I think it might make it a little easier for them, I agree with whoever it was downthread (can't find it now) who said it would drive the fans insane knowing the entries were there, we just didn't have them. They were right. It would drive us insane. We'd be breathing down their necks all the time :/
I think it's probably good if it stays the way it is. It doesn't break immersion for me at all (in fact, it rather keeps it) if they wait two and a half weeks before posting the next one. I like them staggered. Makes it last longer, gives us time to theorize and regroup old ideas before moving on.
That being said, I *do* think that they should tweet more often, just to give us the sense that, okay, Jay's just washing cars or whatever now and doesn't have time to upload an entry, rather than us wondering what it is he's doing. I'm not saying he tweet every two hours, but maybe once every few days, you know?
Whatever's easiest for them I guess. They are busy people.

Of course not. My point is that they've set a precedent with the BTS info. If they shot everything ahead of time, they'd have three options for BTS: (1) Compiling and posting it while shooting, (2) not posting it at all/waiting till the series concludes, or (3) compiling it while shooting but releasing it between appropriate entries. With either of the first two, fans around here would know (or at the very least, WMG) that they've got finished entries sitting on a shelf. Again, that would drive some fans mad. The last would keep us in the dark--which is why I said "unless they fake BTS posts." Maybe I should've clarified that the timing would be faked.

That's not what I said. They won't abandon their IG timeline, so we'll still have waiting periods between entries. If everything's shot ahead of time, we're waiting twice--once for OOG production, once for IG events. I'd rather have both happen simultaneously, so that we're only waiting once. Yes, even if it means a longer wait.

"Something interesting" is rather subjective. Not everyone has found the IG timeline boring or unsatisfactory.

Of course spec could still happen between uploads. But we're back to the "two waiting periods" thing. If we wait twice, that first wait won't be nearly as much fun without new info to talk about.

I woke up to hearing cat planet some how this video was playing. Back on like topic it depends on how many actors being used in vlogs.

i personally don't think it will be better if they filmed seson 3 ahead of time, it would spiral and crash into crap if they did, cus then it would be like some television shows, it gets worse with every season ;P
