end of show noise

Chuck will return on tomorrow’s show.

Every time this week, when a contestant reaches round two, WWTBAM will be writing Shriners Hospitals for Children a check for $10,000.
At the end of the week, a celebrity contestant will be playing and donating all winnings to the charity.

They didn't say that the contestants would have any special connection to this charity. I'm thinking it will have been a distinct advantage to be cast for one of this week's episode, because TPTB are going to want to see some of those $10,000 checks going to the hospital.

But, gosh, are TPTB learning? They only need one celebrity for a theme week benefiting charity?

I thought the writers were especially clever with today's questions. On this one, if they wanted to be mean, they could have made the first choice Shirley Povich instead of Susan.

Every time this week, when a contestant reaches round two, WWTBAM will be writing Shriners Hospitals for Children a check for $10,000. At the end of the week, a celebrity contestant will be playing and donating all winnings to the charity.

When I heard this my first thought was "Well, they won't be giving away too many of those checks."
