I would hope they would give a wronged contestant extra time to make up for the transgression.  I fear nowadays, they would just do retakes until the desired outcome is reached.

That won't happen. Standards and Practices would literally be shooting steam out of their ears if situations happened like that.

With DOND taking eight hours to shoot an hour show and CR three hours to do a half-hour, I thought retakes were pretty much the norm these days.

You're assuming they even _have_ S&P people there. There's no law that says they're obligated to.

I think Tonic read "retakes to achieve the desired result" as "we'll keep filming this until the contestant wins, dammit!"

GSN has always had Sullivan overseeing their shows, even in the "Decades" days.  Seems to me that I heard that Boden demanded it in his first stint running programming.  I imagine that Cronin wouldn't want to change that, just to avoid anything unforeseen happening--and in "Starface"'s case, Finn was used to Sullivan overseeing "STYD" and I would hope that he would think that an S&P person is something that just goes with the territory.

Meanwhile, one could hope that Finn had a little chat with Bonaduce after that particular taping--as much as personally, I would put Pat Finn telling you how to host a game show about on the same level as Jim Caldwell telling you.

To be honest, even though you may not need S&P, it would look a little incriminating if you didn't have a rep on hand.
