If you're referring to when:
(a) they went back to starting each player with $50 (which, IIRC, was what they did when they first switched from three players to two early in the run),
(b) they also went back to the old Homestretch rule where if you tried to double your money but the second celebrity was wrong, you lost what you earned from the first celebrity (but not your initial bet - and, although McKrell didn't say this, you did have the option to stop without choosing a second celebrity),
and (c ) the All Or Nothing odds changed from "how many questions did that celebrity miss so far" to basing it on an audience vote
(and possibly, but I'm not sure, (d) odds were set after the category was read but before the question asked, instead of the question being asked and then the odds set - presumably so somebody (Buddy Hackett did this once) wouldn't say, "I know this one!", and the audience not vote for that celebrity to drive the odds up to 99-1)
then I'm pretty sure you're right.
