That makes it a moot point, then. Actually, it just keeps it a moot point. Quotes within a clue are simply TOMs, not requirements to use a word.seaborgium wrote:How do you know?

I would guess no because "sea" was in quotes.

A video clue, with the question as a caption. Sea wasn't in quotes, but they did ask for "this sea".seaborgium wrote:How do you know? It was a video clue.Volante wrote:Sea wasn't in quotes.

Re: Judges...?
seaborgium's point was that on the monitor in the studio "sea" might very well have been in quotation marks (video clues are always captioned on the monitors for the players) - since we didn't see that monitor (and neither did the closed captioning person), we'll never know.Caboom wrote:A video clue, with the question as a caption.

Re: Judges...?
They're not talking about closed captions, the text of the clue was actually shown over the video. I would assume that if the contestants saw text in the studio, it would be the same text that we saw at home.dhkendall wrote:seaborgium's point was that on the monitor in the studio "sea" might very well have been in quotation marks (video clues are always captioned on the monitors for the players) - since we didn't see that monitor (and neither did the closed captioning person), we'll never know.Caboom wrote:A video clue, with the question as a caption.
