Eric Anderson, during his interview he called a festival 'some festival' after talking about being able to bring instrument on stage. (something that is usually a no-no because of the weight of an instrument on a stage) once I found out a accordion is a lot smaller than what I thought it was (which I thought it was a xylophone, I know it sounds silly but how often we we really hear these two words) I was thinking maybe I was overreacting at the time but it made me route against him since I thought he was bragging about ringing instrument and then pushing the festival off like it's nothing. (I would assume that maybe he was not allowed to say the name of the festival but other people have since the names of their own festival so I don't even think it was that) this is the game. (https://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=7866) to make a funnier that he got a answer wrong about the culture of the festival that he was bragging about in the same interview right after the interview.
most of the time though I don't use the route against people.
I need some context here. I'm not sure I understand.
Was it ever stated on Name That Tune that a contestant couldn't pull a "Tommy Schmucker" and say that they could name that tune in no notes?
Randy Amasia told me and a group of game show fans that on Whew!, they were discouraged from saying "I don't know" as a response to a blooper if you didn't know... either make a wild guess or say nothing, not that it was a rule, just something they discouraged.
