Fun fact: the contestants actually get a bit more than 30 seconds, since they don't have to wait for the "think music" to begin; they can start writing once the clue is revealed, while Alex is reading it aloud. Second fun fact: during the commercial break, the contestants are tipped off to whether the response is a "who" or a "what" and write that one word down in advance. A couple of times, last week's champion didn't add the "is" or "are" to his responses -- which still counts, but at the risk of Alex making fun of it. (They're also sometimes tipped off to "be very specific," which is usually code for "you need to write a first and last name.") -- Jim Ellwanger <[email protected]> <http://www.ellwanger.tv> -- TV or Not TV ....
