All of the bells and whistles, nearly the same level of game play, but less pressure to do well in the WC. Plus, hearing the time to beat for the tournament repeated umpteen times a show got old fast.[/quote]
I agree. I don't think anybody loafs during the Winners' Circle anyway, so I'd have preferred it if Dick rarely mentioned it, maybe after the commercial after a particularly fast round.
I've never really liked the front game anyway, so I think they could de-emphasize it to the point of a fastest-finger question. Maybe it's one round a piece, ten items, timed like the tie-breaker. Or one 60-second round, you get one pass, and there are, say, 15 items to describe. Then get to big pyramid.
