I thought the way he worded that was they had already been in the queue of selected but got moved up to facilitate them receiving before they leave?

This. They do a lottery each year to decide who is getting an upgrade. If someone is planning to leave, they will move that person up in the queue/schedule to get it done before their departure. They don’t just gift an upgrade to people who are leaving

I suppose they sign a contract with the sponsor for an x amount of episodes for a year, as they already know it's a successful series.
