[quote name=\'Mike Tennant\' date=\'Mar 21 2005, 11:42 AM\']This sort of makes sense for this particular show. Otherwise, a contestant could stall for time by starting to say, for example, "Things That Are . . ." before the buzzer and then coming up with a way to finish it afterward. I know it's a stretch, but I can see why Bob Stewart might have come up with such a rule.[/quote]
Emphasis on "Bob Stewart" in that last sentence?
They did it the other way on Osmond's Pyramid, and while it made some sense considering that they also required near-exact matches of the categories rather than keywords, it left a bad taste in my mouth.
