I would like someone in the know to expound on the whole West Coast/East Coast cost argument that keeps getting tossed about.

One interesting strategic element of "Match-Ups" that I picked up on--and I don't know if it was intentional or not--is that often times, the choice was between a single word and a longer phrase. It didn't happen often enough, unfortunately, but I did notice a few savvy contestants/celebs who picked up on this and chose the single word every time to save themselves a few more valuable seconds.

Charles Nelson Reilly was called out in the TV Guide ads as "Match Game's own."

As do I. You pick your star for it and go for :30 or :45 at $100 a pop, and I think it would work really well.
An idea that's been bouncing around my head too long: If you made Match-Up your stake builder for the bonus round, would an Audience Match game work in between two rounds of the front game? You do Round 1 at $50/match, the Audience Match at something like 250-100-50, 300-200-100, or even rework it to 300-200-150-100-50, and then Round 2 at $100/match is your finisher.

Did you get this idea from the DVD game? Because Audience Match is played exactly this way in the DVD game. I've played it with a lot of groups of friends and while it tends to go over well (I don't think anyone really cares who wins the Match Game DVD game), thing that I noticed from all those playings is that a player who matches the top answer in between-rounds Audience Match will for sure win the whole game.
