Transcript 09/17/09 - Fred Roberts (guillotine06)

[guillotine06]

I'll take my medicine for my PAF. I guess an hour drinking beer on his patio the night before wasn't a solid enough strategy session. I should have told me to give me a level of confidence with his answer. However, I did tell him it was perfectly legal to Google the answers.
The bright side is, at least I used my ATA so that she didn't torpedo me on a later question.

Fred, are they still keeping the contestants from watching the tapings on a TV monitor, like they did last season? How much of Ali's abysmal track record were you aware of, before your turn in the Hot Seat?

[kusch]

Congrats so far and I look forward to your finish today.

I have nothing new to add concerning the PAF and ATE.

I do have something to say about your avatar. Can you change it?

I had very little idea about Ali's performance. I was in the wings for Jeff's run, but I didn't hold it against her with the Social Security Question. I was on deck during FloridaGirl's run, and as soon as she started trying to figure out Halal, I knew she wasn't up to the challenge.

Just for you, I will. Later today.

Well- if you told him it was legal to Google, then most of the onus for him trying to pretend he wasn't rested with him.

I was making an assumption based on what you said- it seemed like he was afraid to give a confidence level because then people would know he was Googling.

She was actually semi-logical with you, though...it's too bad she couldn't figure out what the actual question was.

[ulysses5019]

Of course the worst PAF is someone who gives you an answer with 100% certainty ("John Landis") and is 100% wrong.

Congrats so far and I look forward to your finish today.

I do have something to say about your avatar. Can you change it?

Just for you, I will. Later today.

I am thinking it will be changed to one of two things.

Again, great job out there. But I have to agree with kusch about that avatar.

A Real Team

[heelsrule1988]

I'll have something to say about Fred's old avatar two Mondays from now... provided we get our QB issues settled, I'm looking forward to it.

[secondchance]

Congrats on doing great so far, Fred. We're a day behind you here in L.A., so I look forward to seeing the rest of your show!

(edited to remove PAF comments- i decided it was none of my beeswax. )
