If you've filmed six or seven shows without reaching a break point like Chris described, you can just start leaving in just enough of the shots of the contestant thinking to fill out a show to the end.

I didn't even think of that, but that's a very good point, Robert, it's really easy to \"genetically engineer\" a clean finish if it's looking like you need one. Of course, you'd have to know going into that episode taping, but I suppose that's an easy enough policy...if, as you say, they went X shows, then the next one ends clean come hell or high water
