I wish they did it normally by just lowering the difficulty, but people are bagging on Basin for having a easy batch, so i guess why they did it.

After noticing some sudden changes in the sync of the music and graphics on the show, and speaking to some of the tournament players, the majority of the questions were edited for time. I can vouch for at least two of the contestants besides Jehan who actually ran the clock down to zero before walking away on their million dollar question, but the show edited out most of it so it could fit in their time slot. A good way to notice: Go back and look at each video. When the contestant walks away, pay attention to the bars on either side of the clock. After a few seconds, they "fade up" to the amount of time the contestant really had left when they walked away. Robin Schwartz was the most prominent as a good 3 or 4 circles lit up immediately during a camera switch during her question.

Better yet, it was a thirteen-year-old who has probably seen the show maybe once or twice in his life. Just goes to show you the effect that Millionaire, and specifically the Phone a Friend lifeline, has had on everyone. I just heard someone use the phrase "phone a friend" a few days ago.

Jehan did the right thing with the clock: letting the clock run out!! All those people who bailed out early on their questions with a minute or two left, could have used that extra time and, who knows, maybe the answer would've jumped out then! Also, that split-screen did add more excitement! Gotta love that moment! Jehan did the right thing with the clock: letting the clock run out!!
