Okay. I've seen Hot Seat enough now that these are legit concerns of mine:
..So what happens if/when the 35 second clock runs out? Nobody's really told us yet.
Also, I think that it kinda dampens the level of suspense that you are able to build by outright telling contestants that they are going to be shown their 'right' answers past the first one. Sure, logically they have to reveal the right answers first, but it may add suspense by Drew just not repeating it past the $500 prize.
I don't see many contestants not getting at least $5000 out of this game with minimal decent playing, ala Pay the Rent. Can't see how they can set it up to where a contestant won't get at least 3/5 out of 5 50/50 higher-or-lower choices.
I like Hot Seat, but these concerns have kinda irked me since day one.
