I loved how they tried to return to the breakneck pace of the ABC version by having the answers revealed first, then the contestants raced towards the buzzers, interrupting Rob if they thought they knew the answer. Also, the Countdown Round reverted to 3-4-5 for the number of correct answers needed to win for the first, second, and third place players, respectively, just like that older version of the show.
I will say the weak spot was the bonus round. Those trips look great, and they were pretty valuable for the time, but turning the bonus round into a shell game with a one-in-three chance of winning was not as exciting as trying to start one of five cars in the ABC era, or picking from five screens in the 1986 version. In an interesting way, this bonus round is like the "Memory Buster" questions of the ABC era, but reworked. Still, seeing five cars on stage and champions try to start one them was more exciting, especially if the champion managed to retire undefeated and choose one of the five cars they wanted.
If only the gameplay from this version was in the 1986 version, maybe that could have lasted another season. Also, if this pilot had sold, maybe there would have been another attempt to revive this show in the 1990s or 2000s.
Rob Weller did a fine job moving the game along. He wasn't the quick reader and joker like Tom Kennedy was, but he was much better suited as a host for this game than Monty Hall was in 1986.
