Drew helping the contestant out Monday Jan 30


Midway through the Clock Game, Drew asked the production guy if they could add some time because he felt like he had messed the contestant up, so they added 6 seconds. And she won with only one second to spare! Super cool of Drew to do that, because without those extra 6 seconds, she would have lost.

THIS is why I'm a fan of Drew on the show.

Sure, but he really could have -- and I think should have -- stopped the game immediately when he messed up. I remember Bob doing that many times when the contestant was the one who wasn't listening to him saying "higher/lower" and getting them to regroup themselves.

But Drew did it this time, twice, and just kept going. Sometimes I think he's the one who doesn't pay attention to the game.

I thought six seconds was a little too generous. It only took them a second or two to get back on track each time they messed up.
