I'll try to throw a little light on the Burke video conundrum.
There is only one variable that is tested for Burke to see the video: ep4_toldDerekAboutJade. If it's True he sees it, if it's not he doesn't. PERIOD.
So, how does this happen? What is the significance of that particular variable?
When the Hell Week evaluation starts Rusty says the following:
Rusty: "Give me your phones and tell me what files to sync with our DIK folder."
So anything that the MC wants to be evaluated is copied to the DIK's computer.
However, if ep4_toldDerekAboutJade is NOT true, no one sees the MC fucking Jade, instead we see the scene with Derek and the old lady, because Derek doesn't know the MC has already fulfilled that task. Indicating that even if the MC fucked Jade and took the video, he DIDN'T provide it to Rusty to copy and nobody knows about it or has seen it but the MC himself.
On the other hand, if ep4_toldDerekAboutJade IS true, Derek never had to hook up with the old lady, the file WAS copied to the DIK's computer, and everyone at the evaluation saw it. And anyone who had access or subsequently gained access to the computer, could have either found it or been told about it, and mailed a copy to Burke.
This limits the culprit to... well, anybody. This doesn't completely exonerate Derek, but it takes the noose off his neck and places him near the bottom of the suspects - no motive.
