I'm guessing that you're trying to say that there isn't a physical clock readout in the wall, but that it appears on the wall above the top category box during the bonus round?
If memory serves, the blue area of the wall where the category boxes are is all video, so it would be a fairly simple task to add a video clock in the video feed.

I would presume that if this episode never airs then the contestants don't get the prize money they won on the show? That'd be a major bummer for them.
Unrelated, I'm really surprised and disappointed to not see Rosie O'Donnell on the returning guest list. I know folks have varied opinions about her, but I thought she was an excellent, competitive game player -- something that makes for good TV.

I know that ABC wants big names and all in order to get that youth demo, but I do wonder how these guys will be at actually playing the game. I'm only gonna be so psyched about the most popular athletes playing to a 15-12 game of Pyramid. Poor players, no matter how popular, make for bad television.
/There are more parallels between Pyramid and football than I expected

I think Von Miller'll be alright. I seem to recall people mentioning he's a fairly bright guy, and he's apparently a self-professed nerd, as proclaimed in this article entitled, well, "Nerd".

Here's a quote from one of his best friends:
--- Quote ---To this day! We’re all sitting at Von’s house the night before the AFC championship game. This dude turns on a show about the 10 most exotic extinct animals. Biggest game of this dude’s life coming up, and he’s talking about the Dodo Bird. Then he put on a documentary about coral reefs. He was so adamant about it.

In the press release, there are 27 matchups listed, including Von Miller vs. TBA, enough for 13½ hour-long episodes. Unless they do another on-the-spot rematch like Kathy vs. Rosie last year, they could slide in Ice T/Peri Gilpin for to make it a full 14.

That's exactly how it's done. (And the LED panels that form that back wall have been upgraded; there are some really lovely textural effects displayed there.)
And the host has a new lectern, with a logo that no longer looks like a cardboard cutout stuck on an ill-fitting trapezoid.
The real thing that's been upgraded, though, is Strahan's smoothness. I thought he was pretty strong in the first season, but he's *really* good now.
At yesterday's third taping, I saw some terrific gameplay.

Has ABC said how many episodes they ordered this time around?
