The director just lets the cameras roll.[/quote]I don't know why I'm so taken by all these edits, but now I watch the show more to pick out the odd cuts. Today's ep was most unusual. Did anyone notice when the older woman was respinning during the Showcase Showdown, the wheel 'jumped' about 6 notches. The casual viewer wouldn't catch this, but what can I say, I'm sick. To me, this wasn't a clean edit, but it knocked a good 2 seconds from the show. I'm curious to see if the online version is the same. I'm guessing the cbs.com TPiR is exactly as originally broadcast, sans all the ads???[/quote]I am going on the presumption that maybe it took 3 or 4 spins to get the darn thing all the way around and they had to be cut.[/quote]
That doesn't made it any less strange to do the edit in the middle of a spin. There are much less conspicuous things they could have done.
