In an interview on the Craig Kilborn show, Osmond said that he purposely avoided doing that postmortem because he felt it would make the contestants feel worse about losing. Like you, I take the opposite view. I think that part of what made Dick Clark such a good host was that he was very supportive of the contestants. He was extremely sympathetic when they lost, and after each Winners Circle loss he analyzed the game and gave tips on how to win the next time around. Osmond did little more than smile and say, well, you won $200, better luck next time. -Tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
