Big Jeopardy! Change
PeterMarshallFan:
I wonder who Steve stole that from. :P
Seriously, this could get interesting.

Game shows where people can appear for unlimited shows have gone the way of 8-track tapes in the last couple of decades(Maury's Twenty-One being the only exception in the last decade), it's nice to see J! bring the \"unlimited appearance\" rule into effect, though someone winning more than five games will indeed be uncommon.
Perhaps WOF, Feud, or Squares will try that someday :)
TheInquisitiveOne:
I am definitely all for the B&E mentality that \"the sky's the limit.\" Though five day winners are already uncommon, at least when we see some that do go that far, we get to see how good they really are. To answer an earlier post, that also means that there is no winnings cap as well.
The only downside I see to this is how it will affect the format of the Tournament of Champions.

zachhoran:
For criteria in determining who plays in the TofC, they'll probably take the champs winning the most games, and then use cash winnings as a criteria to break ties in number of games won.
reason1024:
On a sort of related note, does anyone else think that the Final Jeopardy questions have gotten harder recently -- either subjectively in terms of \"Gee, that's tough!\" or objectively in terms of how many players get the question wrong? I hadn't watched Jeopardy! in a long time, and when I started tuning in again it seemed like 2 or 3 people were getting the question wrong each day instead of 2 or three getting it right.
Harder FJs would, I imagine, limit insanely long reigns in the new format by making the day's leader less likely to go on and win the day.
