* [[All or Nothing]]: While there are safety nets for cash, the banked prizes from previous rounds are lost if the contestant loses the game.

** One contestant secretly stole a Santa Claus clock his wife received as a gift to use as his personal sacrifice. He actually hated the thing and thought it was creepy!
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "START/STOP THE BELT!", "[[Game Over|You're going down!]]"
* [[Mascot]]: Clarance, the Crash Test Dummy.
