I know we've discussed some of the flaws of the show, here's what I think could improve the show...

How about letting the contestants speak for themselves? Why does Rossi have to speak for the players at the start of the show? Perhaps an extra moment or so to get to know the players?

As discussed before, the final speed round should be a full minute

Rossi should reveal the answers to questions missed AFTER the time is up, not during the speed round. This might leave more time for an extra 2 or three questions. Also, it is totally unnecessary for Rossi to state the correct answer during the 2 answer speed round.

Perhaps Rossi's explanation of the rules at the start could be shortened too. That might allow for more gameplay/contestant interaction.

The overly feminine prizes and enforcing the stereotype of how women love to shop needs to stop too.

Wouldn't it be great if they had that old post-game recap background music that the 80s $ale had?

/never happen

A station I can get on cable just picked this up and have been double-running it (for how long...who knows). I've seen about 10 episodes so far and have noticed it's been three women contestants each time. I know this was briefly discussed before, but how many men have actually been on that show? One?

Just curious...

At minimum two. Mark (who obliterated the game) and another guy from week 1.

Was Mark the tall, Simon Cowell-lookalike, who won the Prius?

Yes.

The one upside to the CRTC's dragging its feet in approving TBS for cable carriage, saddling them with Peachtree TV in the interim, is that most of Canada can see Temptation (bad as it is). Atlanta was late to the party due to the switchover, Atlanta began three weeks late into the run.

/that and the ads for Publix and Krystal.
//and is WNLO's signal into Toronto that poor?

My proposed changes:

1. Dump the Knock Off round in favor of maybe more questions or the classic Fame Game
2. In the final speed round, each question is worth $5 during the first thirty seconds, and $10 for the second thirty seconds.
3. After the car, reaching $1,250 wins all the prizes on stage plus a cash jackpot that starts at $50,000 and goes up $1,000 for each show it isn't won.

I would keep Super Knock Off for Part 1 of the endgame, though.

Mmmm. That won't confuse the folks at home. Nope.

They do it the same way on the Australian show, and I don't mind it there. I like that it provides closure for each question, and a pattern for everyone to rely on.

You have conclusively proven that you have not one clue about how to produce a well-put-together game, and you have no concept of a budget.

I propose that any person who comes up with an outlandish way of increasing the prize budget for a game show should have to put up the difference in escrow. At the end of the production year, if their change would not have resulted in a change in the prize budget, they get that money back. If not, they lose it. Maybe to pay for bandwidth. Or steak dinners for the Moderators.

/Or more BB&B stock. The world's your oyster.

$50000 with that show's budget? You could start it at $1000 and up it by a grand per show and it might still break 'em.

Forget who you were talking to? All he cares about is seeing loads of money being given away, even if it's just for flipping a coin.

So *that's* who was behind the $10,000,000 Super Classic Celebrity Coin Flip Plus Challenge. It all makes sense now.

On topic question...Does anyone know this: If a contestant amasses enough T$s to win the final prize, and still has another day, can they come back to win more cash (therefore more prizes)?

I wouldn't want to bet any T$ (or cents for that matter)...I don't think any champion can pull off the car in 4 days. And even if he/she did, we probably won't see that episode until the end of the run (if it ever gets that far).

It's possible, it just takes good gameplaying on all four days. For example, sweeping the Super Knock-Off board four days straight gets you $1,000.

Stay tuned for The $100,000 Pull My Finger coming up next over most of these stations... :-P

I won't debate that, you're right.

I'm guessing that, however, the way some players are from the episodes I've seen, they would need another very strong contestant (see: Mark from week 1) who would go all the way in 4 days and then be tempted after that. I don't even think the producers thought about the level after the car.

Their philosophy is more than likely "Take your car, our love, and get the hell out!"

Agreed. From what I've seen of it, most of the contestants have just pushed too far in Super Knock-off. If they had stopped after a couple right, maybe they could have gotten to the end in 4 or 5 days.

Maybe there should be an option that if you have enough T$, you can buy more than one prize...
