New Term for "Usual Suspects"

[McBruce]

I watch CNN a fair bit and it is usually the channel that I have tuned on my TV when I turn it on. But I have noticed that there is a very high likelyhood that when I turn the TV on and it is on CNN that it will be showing an ad. Other channels seem to have a far lower batting average in this stat.

 

Similarly, when directing, there are players in every group that always seem to be the ones everyone is waiting for when you take a tour through the virtual room, whether bidding or playing or most often the confused declarer last to finish with 6 top tricks and 4 to go and not sure how to proceed. After a while you can look at the list of entrants and see these 'CNN players' before the game even starts. :)
