First, this seems awfully extreme for a celebrity version of the show.  Remember how loose OUR celebrities were with the rules?

Second, if the celebrities were guaranteed the money they won in the first, potentially "tainted" version anyway, how does redoing it solve anything?  "We're going to do a different version, just in case any of you cheated.  However, if you DID cheat, you'll still get that money."
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

Well, you know how free-wheeling Germany is historically.

Was the game played for charity? I know it was a celeb game, but surely some of them have to be played for profit around the world.
