When the host popped in telling us that we doubled, I thought we were done, and on the show, you could see me taking off my blindfold. After that, we got maybe one more word. However, at the point where we doubled, we still had TWENTY seconds!!

Ya know, you keep mentioning this, and I'm wondering about something.
Did you think that Dylan stepping in and saying that was telling you that your time had expired? Or that that was it, you'd won all you could and the game was over? 'Cuz if the latter, you went through a contestant briefing that told you that you doubled, then trebled, yes?
It's kinda like in football, where a player pulls up because he believes the ball is dead, and yet the ref didn't blow his whistle, so an alert opponent scoops up the ball and scampers into the endzone. You just Don't Stop Playing until someone stops you.
I mean, I know you were (and are) excited, and that's great, and I agree that Dylan's little interjection (and did he actually step in? Yeah, you were blindfolded and couldn't see him at the time, but on the couple of shows I've seen he said it from his position in the "wings".) is distracting and doesn't need to happen, but you keep blaming Dylan for this, and I'd be interested in knowing your mindset before I agree that the blame is justified.
