What chanting does the audience do on "WWTBAM?"  And is she basing all of this on the first five questions, which are supposed to be the lowest-common-denominator because it lets the kids at home get their moment in the sun?  Has this woman even *watched* the show when someone gets an upper-level question?  Geez.
