Once again, the clock didn't start until all the answers were read because the celebrity. read. them. very. slowly.

That's how TDC should always work (if they must keep TDC) but it's curious that TPTB will break the existing rules rather than exercise a little directorial control over the celebs taping the questions. Or ditching those clips and letting Meredith read them all.

In case you haven't seen the film and you're worried about the girl,

Yeah...but only after Liam Neeson's character

Spoiler
