$100,000 Pyramid Season 2 Guest List

BillCullen1:
So I went to the taping yesterday. It was athletes and chefs playing, so I wasn't expecting stellar game play. I will say no more. Stuff I can tell you:

The desks now also display the $100K logo in addition to the answers.

The borders on the category and big boards now have a light around them that can be red or white

And here's the biggie:
The big board now has a digital clock that counts down the 60 seconds. It's on top of the top category and the person giving the clues can see it. It is superimposed since it wasn't there during the rest of the show.

The celebs came out before the taping and sat with the contestants. I thought "Hey, they're doing a Cullen opening." But then they got up and went backstage. I think they came out for publicity shots. So they did a normal opening.

Strahan did talk to the audience at times. Tom Kelly was the warmup guy. Taping went pretty smoothly with only a couple of stopdowns. They started and finished on schedule.

At the end of each show, the celebs stand in front of the Winner's Circle with Strahan for a photo. Apolo Ohno is shorter that I thought and Eric Stone is taller than Strahan by a couple of inches.

I had to sign a release form. It says not to release info on the outcome, including the celebs. But they have the celebs names on the ticket website. Go figure.

Not quite 35 years after Carol Brady had five big wins in a five-day taping, we'll see (the movie version of) Mike Brady.

So wait... Is the clock on the Pyramid, or is it superimposed?

Fedya:
Did the contestants have last names this time?

It's superimposed. It appears on the big pyramid during the WC rounds. Hope that clears the confusion.
