Line 10:
Champions who won three games got to play the Ultimate Challenge for $50,000 plus $5,000 per failed attempt (later $25,000 plus $1,000 per show unclaimed). Clark announced one of two categories from which all questions were taken; if the contestant answered all three questions correctly in the chosen category, s/he won the cash jackpot; there was no [[Game Show Winnings Cap]]. (Starting on November 21, the Ultimate Challenge was played on every show and worth $10,000; later on, it was dropped altogether.)
 
''[[The Challengers]]'' is notable for being one of the very few TV shows to prominently display each episode's airdate (during the open and on a screen behind Clark), done primarily because episodes were taped close to their airdate to keep with current events. Beginning at some point after July 21, the screens just had the show's logo in a likely attempt to keep any potential future reruns from being ''literally'' dated.
