They would *have* to use the original rules though. None of this stick-around-until-you-lose-twice crap. Classic Classic Concentration.

I like it when shows allow for contestants to not be thanked for their participation after losing one time.

So I presume \"Lots of Love\" falls under this category?

I was thinking Kiernan more than Morreale there, assuming I get what you\'re saying.

There\'s plenty of ideas in the post roughly http://www.gameshowforum.org/index.php?showtopic=25455\'>one thread down. 


 


But also, bring back The Joker\'s Wild and the Face the Devil game. But not a caricature that resembles Jack Barry. A real devil, who you make a deal with in order to win five games and a Nissan Versa sedan, and a bunch of cheesy prize packages. Do you want the game room and trip to Brazil bad enough?

See, I would go with one who challenge you to a fiddle contest in Georgia, with a golden fiddle as a prize.

Or a pot-smoking contest in Jamaica with a million bucks on the line, of you wanna stick with the money theme.

If one were to graft the double/double back element from Million Second Quiz onto the game play of Mind Game (and adding another brain ring, of course) I think you\'d have a darn good show.

While I\'m sure this idea is most likely headed toward the Realm of Not Gonna Happen, I\'d like to see a Sale of the Century revival with an endgame combining The Sale with Temptation(AUS)\'s prize structure, using the Big Money Game as a means of building up the cash jackpot.

If I was gonna do a Sale revival I\'d take the best of what worked from various series.


I\'d keep the 80s format in regards to show pacing.


I\'d replace the Instant Cash with the Cashcards from the Aussie version.


As far as the Fame Game rounds went, I\'d do a toss up between the 80s game and Temptation, and whichever side was landed on was the one I\'d use. I really wasn\'t too bothered with the way Temptation did it.


I\'d keep the speed round at 60 seconds but keep the higher stakes Temptation introduced.


This one I know a lot of people aren\'t necessarily fond of but I think the score money should be treated in a different manner- call them shopping dollars or something and if/when you lose each is equivalent to $5 in actual dollars- that way if someone was building to the big payday and lost, they\'d get a nice chunk of change of a couple thousand bucks or so on top of everything else.


I\'d keep the Temptation shopping round with the Knock-off game, and not limit you to five appearances like they did. I\'d also add the all the prizes on stage and cash levels that the syndie Sale did but I\'d cap it at a round number like $100,000 instead of a growing jackpot.

I\'d like to see \"The Big Showdown\" revived.  I don\'t know how it could be improved. Maybe make it an hour with two trips to the dice table per show.


Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.
