Competing cast member Wil Wheaton (''Next Generation'' boy genius Wesley Crusher) tells EW.com: ''That was one of the funniest moments I've ever witnessed in my life.''
However, Roxann Dawson (''Voyager'' sex symbol B'Elanna Torres) appears less amused when the married Wheaton jokes that he's in love with her. ''Coming on to me on national television -- when he knows my husband's gonna watch the show -- is just unfair, and frankly rude,'' Dawson says to the camera. (We don't think she's joking). In his defense, Wheaton claims to be playing a character, an exaggerated version of himself.
Wheaton also faces some typical abuse from Robinson (although nothing compared to the knocks his character received from fans during his ''Next Generation'' run), but he tells EW.com that he got a glimpse of a different Anne backstage after the taping. ''The thing about Anne Robinson is -- I don't know if I'm allowed to say this or not -- but she's really nice, and she's really cool, and she's really funny,'' he says, adding that she told him, ''I hope you understand it's all part of the show.'' Darn, and we thought she really meant that heart-warming retort, ''Whose phaser was set to stupid?''
