[Alex did not admonish Phil for his phrasing. Alex explained before the Double Jeopardy! Round that Phil's error wouldn't have mattered thanks to first-round amnesty on the phrasing rule, but "we were kidding around so much that, uh, I didn't even notice it myself." He did, however, warn about the strict rule in Double Jeopardy! that improper phrasing would be considered an incorrect response.]
