That was my thought as well, until I went to a taping. The celebs definitely review WC material, causing two-thirds of the commercial breaks to be extended to 15 minutes in the studio. However, there is no such break before front games, so unless they do a major cram session before their first episode of the day (which is quite unlikely), they have no chance to review the front game material.

Besides, they CAN"T review front-game material because they don't know for what categories they will be giving and what they will be receiving for until this whole selection process takes place.
Oh, and add that whole "celebrities are shown material prior to telecast" thing to why I can't stand the show. (And also why, along with the applause issue, I would demand a virtual asterisk alongside anyone who might break Crystal's record in the WC...)

I've never noticed that. That's plain awful.

If only there had been disclaimers in tiny print on a split screen in the 50's..the scandals would have never happened.

Theoretically, all of those choices could be made not long after the contestants arrive at the studio at 7:00 a.m., giving the celebrities plenty of time before the first taping starts, but I seriously doubt that anything along those lines actually happens.
