Believe me, its kind of a strange mirror the way things play out regarding repetition. In the very beginning a word had to be repeated a certain number of times before being counted as repetition. Nowadays Nick allows repetition of words even if someone has only said a word once. I dont think its right that no one argues that they didnt repeat a word, largely because the panelists always make the excuse that they werent listening to themselves.
