Rules Changes to Make a Show Easier

(1/7) > >>

Jeremy Nelson:
Over the years, we’ve seen shows make it harder for contestants to win the big money, but can you think of any instances where they made it easier? I can specifically name two- removing opposites as illegal clues on Password, and the five second increase in Fast Money (but I think that was partly due to asking longer questions). Can you guys think of any others?

nowhammies10:
Push rule in the Money Cards.  Also changing one card anywhere on a line from CS '86.

Kevin Prather:
Spotting players the RSTLNE and giving them four more. Even with the 5-second reduction, that's a big advantage.

I think I've heard others here say requiring Jeopardy players to wait until the whole clue has been read resulted in more accuracy.

BrandonFG:
TPiR: Adding a second chance on Hole in One to make it Hole in One (or Two).

jjman920:
I think TPIR could potentially have numerous changes it made to help contestants along the way (perhaps more in the way of range adjustments for inflation). Another change I thought of was changing the format of Gas Money from having to play "1 Chance Five Price Tags" to "1 Prize Danger Price."
