Me too. It's like they can remember almost everything they've ever read or heard and then recall it instantly.

It's more than just being smart...

^^^ I missed watching that one.

Usually, if they don't phrase it right...Ken says nothing for about 3 seconds and then they correct themselves when they realize the problem.

Can't believe that none of the three could get 'The Sting' clue about Robert Shaw.

My favorite movie.

I'm just not super excited about the second chance crew. I know there were a few folks during the season where we said 'oh man they need to get that lady back, she just had bad luck on the final' or something like that but none of these folks are them. at least that I can recall.

^^^ On the same day?
That would not be good.

Wasn't there something similar happened back in the 50's or 60's? I can remember something bad happening in the news concerning a game show.

She’s not sure, just within a few days it seems.

Old game show issue was producers sabotaging less desirable contestants to manage ratings iirc. And giving answers to more desirable people.

In addition to Twenty-One (subject of the video above), The $64,000 Question was also implicated in a high profile quiz show scandal. And there were other too...
