Steve Beverly and I agree

From today's Daily Game Show Fix:

"What is difficult to tell this early is whether the time limit on answering questions is genuinely affecting contestant performance. The mental preparation for everyone in the past was that safety net to know one had an unlimited time to ponder because the show would be edited. Our prediction: this is going to put more emphasis on contestants going with their first impressions if they're prone to gamble but is also likely to result in more players taking fewer risks because they'll be under the pressure of the clock."

My VCR is set, or so I think. I'll find out tonight whether I can watch or will need to wait for the transcript. Steve liked the new graphics (they switched the show to 3:30 AM in his area, in favor of SyndieDonD in the old time slot).

Don't feel bad, Marley. I didn't even get to SEE the new season start.

I also think the clock will affect the performance of the contestants-I bet we see people walking more often.

I don't know. It has been my impression that the walkers walk almost automatically.

Today's walker knew the answer to an easy question, but really needed more time to convince herself to go for it. She let the clock tick down to zero. I got the impression that with a little more time to consider her situation, she might have gone for it.
