** Much hatred for the 1990s maingame and bonus round (first word, first definition...); though admittedly the bonus round now offered a lot more, plus there weren't any Devils. The categories returned on January 7, 1991, but the measure came far too late to save the show...and the money-based format came back for the last three shows ''anyway'' to avoid straddling. Further, the question values were $25/$50/$100 (half of what they'd been just five years earlier). The Jokers couldn't be used to go "off the board", as they hadn't let the contestants know what categories each game had on the reels (they had to be used for the full amount for whatever category was chosen). Spinning three Jokers gave that player $250 and the right to answer $100 questions in one of three categories hidden behind each Joker. Not like before.
