My mistake. I shall endeavour to be more observant of these comments in the future.peacock2121 wrote:It was not accurate. I have never limited my comments to compliments about their excitement, anecdotes, outfits, etc. Nor am I puzzled when other ex-hotseaters don't.
I often wonder what the hot-seater thinking was and have asked on many occasions.

Re: Transcript 12/3/08 - Sharon Morrill
slam says that the PAF is "by far your most valuable lifeline," and rags on this contestant for using it too early. In the ensuing discussion, no one has pointed out that the "most valuable lifeline," in this case, was useless and the lowly ATA saved her bacon. It all depends on the question, the make-up of the audience and the list of PAFs you have to choose from.slam wrote:And yet another case of a contestant reaching for the PAF too soon. If you've planned well, the PAF is by far your most valuable lifeline. Why waste it when another lifeline is likely to help you also? Yet so many contestants do.

I know this is a little late but am I the only one who noticed the connection between this contestant and Sally Vander Veer? The phone-friend was Sally from Superior, CO and it sure looked a heck of a lot like Sally Vander Veer, and when Sally appeared the phone-friend's name was Sharon. Didn't anyone else see this connection?

I don't think anyone else has mentioned the connection before, but it does appear that Sharon and Sandy are sisters who used each other as their PAFs, as you said. Good observation, owenziligation!

The thing is, we just recently had a question about a Dutch artist painting some French furniture. I wouldn't have tried to reason that Q out in 30 seconds -- I probably would have reacted just as she did.gsabc wrote:Given her next category, I hope that her Expert was wintergreen.
Two obviously French names in the question, one French river in the choices and she uses two lifelines. She's probably been kicking herself ever since the taping. I wish her retroactive luck with her remaining questions. Substitute teaching is less fun than regular teaching, and less pay as well.

Bingo. Thus, I tend to take it a little bit easier on peeps who's lifeline management puzzles me. I will continue to believe anyone who doesn't line up a google-savvy PaF is foolishly squandering a terrific opportunity, however.
