Start the first question at $50 a pop, then round two, then round three. Give the team a time limit, say :30, and just end the round early if the team gets a set number of answers.
Maybe even add a small bonus round, like Cosby's You Bet Your Life did.

My view is that you keep the front game the same--with the same payoffs--and the biggest-winning couple plays an end game for 10 times their front game score. Give the question and a target number for the 15 seconds--and they meet the number of answers in the target number, they win. As simple as that--and in many cases, they'd be playing for a five-figure payout. Find a host who's quick on the uptake--and an audience that would be patient for a longer-than-normal interview--and it could work.
It wouldn't hurt that if the equivalent to Dr. Gross be an attractive, well-spoken and charming female college professor--I'm sure that there are some out there, especially in California. I don't mean a Maxim hot babe, but someone smart and good-looking.
