@Venezia don't think it is the pronunciation. I ran it back several times. Even my closed caption showed "ulna."
The other incorrect response was in the category "Y in the Middle" where each response had a "y" in the middle of the word. The correct response was "katydid" and he very cleary said "katadid." Again ran it back several times.

@MamaWick - Yeah, we thought his pronunciation of katydid was weird, but they clearly knew what he was saying and they haven't penalized other players for mispronunciation in the past.
Wouldn't matter anyway in his case; he's been so far ahead of the other contestants, it wouldn't have affected the outcome.
Enjoy the rest of the games!

Ive really been impressed with David Faber!!!!
I'm guessing many could have said the same thing about Alex Trebeck's first week back in 1984.
I haven't seen Richards' hosting, but from the photos he seems a little more "polished" than some of the others. JMO
JMHO but Ive seen him on Pyramid and he was the same way and hasn't changed in his delivery....I just didnt see the warmth that Alex showed even in his earliest days....Faber has it....But your right Richards is better than a LOT of othe others we've seen.....He's OKAY!

@Spurt - I agree with your assessment of Richards and Faber. My DH and I were trying to pinpoint what it was about Richards and you've hit the nail on the head.
We both think Faber would be the best permanent host but, unfortunately, we don't get a vote.

Well, we're coming down to the wire ... Joe Buck next week. I've seen a few negative comments about him here (never heard of him before this) so maybe the producers wanted to reassure viewers that he doesn't have a chance of getting the job.

I have watched them all. Richards was mechanically good. He was like a Ken Doll, no personality to me. I hope the rags are wrong about him getting it. David Faber is excellent. No idea who he was but he is really good. My choices not that it matters would be Ken Jennings, Buzzy Cohen or David Faber.
