Last night I found particularly bad

Usually when a contestant is very close to an answer the host (Alex/Ken) would hesitate for a moment before ruling.

"What is Yellow Brick Road" *pause to give time to immediately correct.

No sooner was Road out of his mouth did she rule incorrect. You could tell as he finished he caught his mistake, but couldn't correct.


Then later the clue about the McDonald's founder a contestant answered "Roy Kroc" which is incorrect.

Then the next contestant answered "Kroc" without a first name, which is correct.

However, Myiam didn't point out the correct first name. I like when the host does that, but in these circumstances in the past, the host purposely points out the full correct answer.


While this wasn't last night I like that Ken will give another pause if a contestant forgets their phrasing. Myiam does not. Immediately rules incorrect.

I'm really hoping that Ken gets the gig full-time.
