Think its your alternator. Thought I saw the belt jumping around on the pully just before you ran to shut the car off, but the camera was jumping around so I can't be sure.

Did you actually see the bad part? I would think a really bad tensioner would last more than a week. Any chance the shop just left that allen bolt lose that holds it to the block?

Wow! What a piece of ****. And you drove it how many miles on that part? 100? You were way too close to losing that timing belt...and the whole motor.
