Doug is wasting a bit too much time talking about his answers. If he keeps this up and wins enough to make the ToT leader board, his time used tie-breaker is going to be pretty poor.

So far, so good.

Nihil obstat® so far.

Nihil obstat® so far.

Some folks with grumble at the attitude they believe is implied in the Nihil obstat®.

I only sigh at detracting from its elegant simplicity with the clearly obvious so far.

Maybe he just doesn't care about that.

Who knows?

Well, I'd rather talk about the questions (especially if I'm trying to logically figure one out) than engage in general chit-chat with Meredith, too. And since nobody has gotten a look at the $1 million question on SyndieBAM since they added TDC, banking time for that question may be beyond serious consideration for most contestants. But the ToT is unique situation and a big enough opportunity that every contestant ought to keep it in consideration and adjust their game play accordingly.

I'd be surprised if more than a third of the contestants go into BAM with a detailed strategy as to how they'll play the game.

Most people aren't as obssessed as we are!!!
