I feel really bad for the kid who played for the million at the end of the 12/21 episode. He seriously is a PRO at this. He had some tricky passwords, but great clues. The kid took his time to come up with the brilliant clue, "thin." He might have gotten that $100,000 if Phil Keoghan took his time too, instead of automatically shouting "thick."
shareI felt really bad for that kid because his partner was Phil, I really wanted him to have Julie Chen because she way better than Phil
I would've said "bed" for the last one
Although Phil really, really sucked, I don't think it's his fault for the kid losing. It was obvious in the opening round that Phil was terrible at guessing the clues, but pretty good at giving them. So what does the contestant do? He has Phil guess the clues! Then, he asks Phil if he can go another round, to which Phil basically says, "No; I suck at this game. You need to quit. NOW!" so what does he do? He goes another round, of course!
With that being said, Phil was really bad at the game.
Suspense is
I was screaming at the kid to say, "I'll receive!" But he chose to give the clues, which was just about his only mistake. I know he's kicking himself for that one.
