It is the editorial satff who are the real no-hopers (the same ones who consistently display awful spelling errors and typos in the captions). Incidentally, I noticed that during a recap, Hilary Barry actually did say "comet", so I don't know if that is kudos to her for quick thinking, or someone behind the scenes with one more brain cell than the rest.
