B: It's Complicated

Desiree wins $1,000.

Why not give her the actual (randomized) value that the question would have had? That way the 1-question wonder could end up with $25,000 or $100. Wouldn't that make it more exciting?

Desiree wins $1,000.

I wonder if former contestants are eligible? I guess I could check the rules, not that I plan on being in NY any time soon.

I saw Desiree tape yesterday afternoon as an actual contestant.

I saw Desiree tape yesterday afternoon as an actual contestant.

I'm not surprised. Actually being on-air has got to be worth more points than an ordinary video interview. Plus, Meredith gets to make the "just a few weeks ago" speech about being in the audience.

I saw Desiree tape yesterday afternoon as an actual contestant.

I wonder if yesterday's scheduling was deliberate? I mean, at the very same time Desiree's initial appearance is airing on WABC, she's back at the Hot Podium for a complete run?

Or sitting in the Green Room, but let's not spoil the scene with too many details.

[goongas]

A couple more tidbits. I sat in the audience for two shows, and one of the shows was a celebrity edition. Also, Ms. Barter's producer came out to hurry her up on one of the questions after only about five minutes.

[MarleysGh0st]

Was there a theme charity for the celeb edition or was it at each celeb's discretion, this time?

It was a single episode celebrity special which will air this month. I don't know how they came up with the charity that will receive the money.
