I am not sure this ever happened, but on MDP, if the celebrity is giving the clues and they make it past the fourth level, which, if any, of these happens:
(a) The contestant has to decide whether to continue or stop without anybody seeing the words;
(b) The celebrity sees the six words, then "suggests" to the contestant whether to continue or stop, but the contestant makes the choice;

(d) The celebrity sees the six words and makes the choice for the contestant (somehow, I don't see that happening)?

B: The pair are allowed a limited dialogue to decide whether to play or not.

Choice B. From the official rules (I never throw anything out.):

For the $250,000 level only, the Clue Giver is shown all of the Passwords of those levels, one at a time, for three (3) seconds each before the contestant must decide and declare definitively (as determined by Producer and Network in their sole discretion) whether they will continue the game or stop. After the words have been shown to the contestant, the Host prompts the contestant for their decision to quit or to continue playing. If the celebrity is acting as the Clue Giver, then a limited amount of dialogue is allowed for the celebrity to advise the contestant about their level of confidence with the next group of Passwords, but the final decision whether to stop the game or continue must always come from the contestant.

So, if I understand this right...

It would be okay if the celeb went "These are a good set of words, I think we can do this" or "These look hard, maybe you should walk"?

I really wish there were an opportunity to switch positions between each round, or at least the ability for the contestant to call 'switch' in between rounds (obviously before the next round's words are shown).

Whereas Chad simply wishes there was an opportunity to pick the celebrity partner going into the bonus round.

FWIW, Ginger Simpson made strong suggestions to me during the break that I should have Norm MacDonald be the clue-giver for my bonus round. Did the celeb ever give during the bonus round in the series?
