I think that on other tv shows, producers aren't as lenient about it which means that actors/actresses are stuck on the show even if they wanted to leave.

Crystal didn't break a contract, neither did Colton. Because mtv only signs for one season at a time, the actors can only have a contract for one season at a time.

Gage broke contract, but from what I understand, it's a standard out in contracts that if you have the chance for a lead they let you go. Honestly, if I were Sinqua I'd be pissed that the company broke contract with me because someone else left.

It's not so much that Jeff is lenient with allowing actors to break their contract that's the problem, he's only done it once, but he might consider looking at what he expects from the actors, and what they are having to deal with on set for people to keep wanting to leave a steady paycheck on a fairly popular show.
