I know I am a bit late in the game, but I've been watching, and there are a couple changes for this season...
First, it seems they've added more blue lighting to the set... I like it... better than the overkill of red from season 1.
Second, and more noteworthy, they eliminated the possibility of going on the date with the date the audience chooses, should they choose someone different from the original choice. I'm not sure why they took it out, but honestly it's better. Either you win your date, night out and 10 grand, or you just win your date and the night out.
