"Fifth grader's" cheating

Show is cheating!!!! On the show that aired on 3 May, if you listen carefully you can here someone whispering the answers to a few of the questions right before he (the first contestant, a male) gets that ah-ha moment of "I got it!"

One was an answer of "Xylophone" when asked a question about which one of these items are considered a percussion instrument.

The other was "Hieroglyphics" when asked what was the ancient Egyptian language of writing on walls called.

If you have the show saved, go listen for yourself. We played it over and over and everyone in our room heard it.

We thought we've heard things before, but didn't save the episodes to verify earlier suspicions. If anyone else is hearing these same things, please post. Nothing pisses me off more than a corporate scandal, especially from Hollywood. Shame is... I like this show....
