[quote name=\'SRIV94\' date=\'May 4 2005, 12:23 PM\']First WC subject nailed, camera cuts to the shot of the pyramid and the next subject swings around and we hear applause. Is my assumption correct that the applause is McKenzied and not heard by the participants, or is the applause legit and audible (and thus, potentially distracting)?[/quote]
If it's not the actual audience, then it's still done live in some fashion--note what happens when the applause sign/Mackenzie operator isn't listening as closely as the judge is, and thinks he hears a correct response.
