They're not going to pointedly not reveal an answer, because as people have said, that's not their job.
I think Toetyper was suggesting that they would stop down tape, wait patiently for the contestant to be on his way, and then pick back up with the taping, all in the name of saving the contestant's fragile ego. To which I say, in addition to Matt's point of "hey, you're a contestant, part of the job that they are paying you an INSANE hourly rate for is to suck it up and give them whatever reaction you're going to give to news like that", that if they can actually get past that, and the contestant would like the studio costs for that whole exercise taken out of their post-tax winnings, dandy.
