There seems to be some sort of black plastic bar in front of both contestants in shows airing this week.

Anyone know what they are for?

I think they used that briefly on the Eubanks run. IIRC that was seen for a couple of weeks when the players wrote down their guesses for Educated Guess questions. Of course, no one wrote their EG guesses down on this week's shows(the first week to have possible EG responses of 100 or higher)

Those bars may have been left over from the week in the daytime version where the Educated Guess questions had answers exceeding 100, and a Chyron display wasn't ready yet, so the contestant's answer had to be written down on the cards.

They were gone quickly, though, once it was replaced with a Chyron graphic display.

There was an episode or two of Eubanks CS in early 1987 where the prize card holders from Rafferty CS were still on the maingame board.

Which has nothing to do with the original post. Again.

While I was watching today, I was wondering how they revealed the answers for Educated Guess answers when the contestants had to write them down. Did Bob/Bill have the answer written on the card?

My guess is that somebody probably held up a cue card with the answer on it.
