If Hot Seat had been won, we would have had a perfect show
If Hot Seat had been won, we would have had a perfect showWow. My mind is incapable of processing this utterly mindblowing fact. I'll be sure to come back here in a few days when my bemusement ends.
Hot Seat: This game, maybe more than any other, really needs the contestant to be mic'ed. At first, I thought Brandon was just nodding yes or no when Drew asked him if he wanted to continue, but then we just barely heard him actually say it.
Agreed, but I think it also speaks to how much Drew relies on the lapel mics to do the heavy lifting throughout the show instead of his own.And yet he still points it at everyone doing their shoutouts in the SCSD even though he doesn't have to. :oldlol:
Hot Seat: This game, maybe more than any other, really needs the contestant to be mic'ed. At first, I thought Brandon was just nodding yes or no when Drew asked him if he wanted to continue, but then we just barely heard him actually say it.I’m surprised there isn’t at least one mic on the set of Hot Seat. I know Plinko and Let ‘em Roll have mics built into their games. Maybe Hot Seat should have a mix on the back of each SP podium?
And yet he still points it at everyone doing their shoutouts in the SCSD even though he doesn't have to. :oldlol:I think I’ve read before that the use of a handheld microphone helps prompt the contestants to speak when desired. Also I remember reading that the mics of the ‘70s were long and thin because they are less intimidating to a contestant than a bulky short microphone being shoved in their face.
