DoND question
« on: September 11, 2006, 11:16:15 AM »
The DOND profile in the new Entertainment Weekly made me wonder -- Are the same models carrying the same number case in every game?

(Now's the time for someone to point out a link to a similar question that was asked and answered in 1997.)

More or less.  There have been some tiny shifts, and of course not every model has been on every show.  But pretty much, yeah.

Well THAT would have been a neat trick!
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

Given the number of theoretical scenarios that were posted to ATGS back in the day, it's not too far-fetched:  "If there ever were to be a game show involving models carrying numbered briefcases, would they carry the same number case in each game?"  "Yes, definitely."
