I suppose they did miss out on the surprise part which I agree would be fun- but expecting at least 6 girls and 6 guys to keep that secret for at least a month or more is just not going to happen so. I'm sure there were always a few girls who didn't know and the rest all seem to fake it pretty well and squeal appropriately I think.

It didn't seem to cut down on their fun, but I think that was because the candle pass itself didn't really seem to be the main event (I could be wrong on that and maybe she would totally disagree). It seemed to be more about the pinning ceremony itself and the party afterwards.
