Date with colt was way too set-up

I mean, seriously...they announce the challenge and it's, tada, writing a song. Gee, I guess that would have been pretty fair and given the guys a pretty good opportunity to be creative if the guy who jumped off the bus singing with a freakin' guitar in his hand wasn't still there. I doubt any of the other guys thought they had a shot at winning(hence Joe's freestyle.) Then they go on the date and the band that Stacey/the producers/whoever picked to perform just happens to play the same kind of music that Colt is into. Could the fix being in for Colt here have been any more obvious?
