In qualitative work, there’s a big line between repeating back something the participant has said to indicate you know they’ve discussed it and speculating for 30 seconds about what they’ll say to you.
If you watched this and didn’t already know who was supposed to be the well prepared 60 Minutes correspondent and who was the nervous wreck being interviewed you’d assume it would cut back to Abdul being like “Ross cut off the interview and did not respond to further email requests”
