Sidhoni Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 ^+1 I was surprised to see how they move on so quickly with the proceedings in this USA version, apne yahaan to pehle AB puchte hai ki lock kia jaaye ki nai, kam se kam 2-3 baar, galat ho to lifeline e baare me batane lagte hai, aur kitna risk involved hai vo bhi bataate rehte hai
akshayxyz Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 AB helps the contestants a lot in KBC' date='if the answer is correct then he will be pretty quick to lock it but if the contestant guesses wrongly at first,then he is even quicker to remind them of their lifelines :cantstop:[/quote'] Even I noticed it many times. But in this case, he did the opposite. Btw - at the 2:41 or so mark there is a glimpse of AB's screen. At least the answer's correctness is not visible on AB's screen. If he knew answers by heart, then only he can help.
Sidhoni Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 ^But he also has some General knowledge and he knows quite a lot of the answers at the initial stage, and some of the answers at the middle stage too
akshayxyz Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 ^yes he does, but this question was quite tough.. you can't get it right w/o preparation (mugging up GK books).. and AB is not the one going to prepare. He is there to hand out the cheque and not contest for.

At least the answer's correctness is not visible on AB's screen. If he knew answers by heart, then only he can help. He knows all the answers which the computer asks,thats what I have come to conclude after watching all the seasons of KBC.But in this case,its different because the contestant is already using the lifeline so there was no scope of help.

gaurav92 Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 May be at the time of locking the computer signals a green spot for a right answer and then goes back to orange, and if its wrong it shows red and then goes back to orange until AB presses to release the answer :dontknow:
Cricket Tragic Posted September 23, 2011 Author Posted September 23, 2011 Thanks for sharing' date='it was to obvious to not be noticed ,so they had no chance to escape.But how did that other contestant knew most of the answers [/quote'] They turned the sound up - it wouldn't have been as obvious in the actual episode. That is what they say in this video anyway.
Cricket Tragic Posted September 23, 2011 Author Posted September 23, 2011 not all, but more than the one in hotseat. and few of the ones he asked another fellow contestant. but seriously... the last one was way too easy for a 1m pound Question. This was back in 2001 when not many people would have known it. Now it's well-known because of Google I guess.
Stuge Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Had that guy been bit more cool .they could have pulled it off .
akshayxyz Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 This was back in 2001 when not many people would have known it. Now it's well-known because of Google I guess. right. I didn't realize that.
akshayxyz Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 May be at the time of locking the computer signals a green spot for a right answer and then goes back to orange' date=' and if its wrong it shows red and then goes back to orange until AB presses to release the answer :dontknow:[/quote'] yes, but for AB to 'help', AB should get signal before locking. And if that happens, some audience behind AB's back would be able to see that... and someone can try exploiting that.
gaurav92 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 ^Or may be he has a small mic and ear piece near him on which he gets the answer from the technical room :dontknow:
