I thought it was best if the girls took over and did the rest of the job, which they absolutely did.

That should not distract from what they’re doing if they’re doing their job. They just know that there are cameras and they know that nothing is a secret. So yeah, just do whatever is right and you don’t even have to worry that anyone is watching you.
