Will Ogi will still be allowed to be a PAF this season now that he's been an ATE? Even more intriguing, would they ever possibly permit him, or any other expert, to (coincidentally) be asked to act as a PAF and then be ATE on the very same episode?

So Bob, since you are one of my PAFs and you can only be called twice in a season (right?) then would you rather I not call you unless it's a difficult Google question and something I'm fairly confident you would know and my other two wouldn't? Also, did you send her the same picture of you and Alex that you sent to me? If so, I wonder if they will catch that and wonder how you manage to pimp yourself out to random contestants all over the country. :lol:

The twice-a-season rule has been the rule in the past. I assume it's still the rule. Check with your AP to be sure it's not now a once-a-season rule.

Don't worry about my future eligibility. If you think I'm the best choice to answer a question, call me. If you think someone else is the best choice, call him or her. (I have not given up hope that my frequent PAF service will someday serve as my own successful "hook," a possibility that the use of pictures enhances.) And yes, I used the same picture for both of you. --Bob

The answer to your first question is no. The answer to your second question is also no, because TPTB would know both that Ogi (in this hypothetical example) is on the PAF list and is slated to be the expert.
