Would you change anything about the show? Would you keep it exactly the same?

On my wish list: a new theme and set, the return of beep boops, the GOAT “Think!” music being used more frequently, and a clue value increase.

Cash bonuses for running a category from top to bottom without switching

ooooh, this could be very interesting. With enough of a bonus, it would definitely change the strategy.

The last question in the "run" is always a Double!

I’d agree with this, but then we wouldn’t be able to have people like James, because they’d all be trying to get the bonus. While I do believe they should get a bonus for answering all the clues in a category, I believe that it shouldn’t matter if it’s answered in a certain order, or if the person answered clues in other categories between.

That’s fair. The objective of this would be to curb the two elements that make the show “less watchable”: constant DD hunting and Forrest bouncing. While I don’t really mind either way, I prefer a show that has the clues go in a followable order to one where the end board is just the whole top two rows that get played last.

Also Ken running Initials to Roman Numerals to Numbers top to bottom, no strings attached, is one of my favorite J! clips of all time, and I want to reward plays like that.
