Eh, give 'em a break. For all we know, they shot him calling passing cars for help, then turned off the cameras and rescued him. Would a documentary director include footage of his/her crew saving one of the subjects anyway? It makes sense that they’d include the shot of Andy, at night, in the reeds, because it fits with the narrative of how the office people get along - that they would care so little, and that Angela is so evil, that Andy would wind up in that position. (Yes, once again I take this show too seriously.)

Plus, their past camera work is evidence that they’ve got a sense of humor. It just made for a funny ending to a scene.

Felt so sorry for Toby. First, he learns he can’t go to the beach, and then he learns that Pam will be wearing a two-piece suit. The downcast look on his face is priceless.

Talk about getting away from a predictable direction for the show… what if they wound up having Pam get together with Toby in the end? No one would see that coming. You heard it here first, folks. 😉
