Does it work if you yank out the "tournament" nonsense? Players start with $5K in chips, you win whatever you keep, you keep playing as long as you win, $500 house minimum if it goes to a shootout?

Seeing as how GSN keeps their games in the $6K range, I think that could work. Figure 3 duels a show, 5 chips for an average win - that's $7,500 a show. A little pricey for GSN's current crop, but I'm guessing the contestant coordinators could make sure the chips are spent freely during gameplay, given their general casting tendencies.

Also, they could probably edit out fewer questions...I find it hard to believe that there was not a single question all week that both contestants did not know the answer to without pressing.
(Plus, 5 chips per average win seems generous...outside of the one-question, nine-chip winners, how many games saw the winner keep more than two or three?)
