"Flip Side" bonus round question

(1/1)

gamed121683:
Where I live, Flip Side airs back-to-back episodes on my local station. During the bonus round in the first episode, it's three misses & you're out. However, in the next episode it's two misses & you're out. Why the sudden rule change?

TLEberle:
My guess too many winners, or seeing in reverse order, not enough winners.

This, along with the confusion being a symptom of "let's air these in whatever order instead of the order they were recorded"

Long live Jeopardy:
Small Talk in 1996 did the same. The first three taped weeks had the bonus round as three misses & you're out, but after that, it was changed to two misses & you're out. The Family Channel aired the episodes completely out of taping order, so it was tough to notice that.

Jsach:
The first few taped episodes had 2 strikes, it was too hard, so they switched to 3 after a tape day or two, and since they're airing out of order you'll likely see it flip flop around for the whole season.
