Am I crazy (don't answer that), or were only eight tiles showing when they played the word "sausages"?

I think the other three were off camera.

Should've been two others, but how would they be off camera? All 10 tiles necessary (the first "A" is already accounted for, so it doesn't need a tile) should be directly in between the two contestants, no? And when the tiles come up, I only count eight (that may also have been part of why Woolery had to walk over [and it was a pretty obvious edit]--the contestant Ryan seemingly only had one tile to pick from).

After the first stopper, I only see six, which are all evenly spaced. If there had been 10 tiles in the rack, there should have been a gap in the sequence near the left side since #8 had already been drawn. Also, immediately after that, the female contestant draws #5, which is third from the end, which is consistent with #7 being the leftmost tile at that moment (after #8 was already drawn).
