Half the fun of making plans in games is seeing how they go wrong.
At least, you should aim to get at least half your fun than way, because they're pretty much going to go wrong half the time!

Well, that explains that part. Pete thought they were playing a specific role as the kids rather than just playing a role. And Jim of course elects to focus on that side of winning. While I would say in almost every case, don't bet on both outcomes, Jim takes ignoring that to an artform. I'm pretty sure Jim wasn't just intentionally trying to make Finn and Rose win around what Pete was trying anyway. Pretty sure. Jim isn't great at subtle, but he does like it.
