Besides Sande Stewart, are there any names in the MDP credits worth mentioning?

For example, does anybody know who the "Word Expert" is?

As mentioned previously, Mark Gentile is the director. The exec. producer apparently worked on "Millionaire" too [forgot his name].

I believe it was mentioned that their word authority is Trip Payne, noted cruciverbailist and Scrabble® (the board game) champion.

What is Sande's title?

Sande's a consultant.

Interesting to note that both Vincent Rubino and Mark Gentile were carried over from "Power of 10" to run this show.

Well, way to go, Trip!  I had the pleasure of meeting Trip a lifetime ago back at GSC4.   Damn...back then, he was just a cool college kid and now, he's the new generation's answer to Dr. Reason A. Goodwin!

He doesn't seem to be credited at the end of the show, which is odd, but Lewis Flinn (who composed the "Power of 10" theme) is in charge of "music and sound."

I hope they paid him by the note.

"Sande, how can we make this show more like Pyramid without getting sued by you or your dad?"

Logical.
