On 11 March 2002, a special episode included contestants from reality game show The Mole, as part of the show's third season.The show also featured several special editions throughout its run. It is used to present visual information for visual questions – where the host asks the contestants to identify items that appear on the screen – as well as to cast their vote for the weakest link at the end of each round. A touch screen was also added to each contestant's podium.It is used both to bank money (contestants not only have to say the word "bank" before being asked the question but must also press the buzzer), as well as to reveal the contestant's vote at the end of each round. A buzzer was added to each contestant's podium.After round six, the game moves straight to the final round if the strongest link in the preceding round had been voted off, the second-strongest link decides who receives the first question.Īdditionally, several minor additions to the game were introduced: As is convention, in the event of a tie, the strongest link casts the deciding vote. Additionally, the contestants are interrogated about their roundly performances before the revealing of votes, as opposed to afterwards. The top prize increases in each round, making for a potential top prize of A$250,000.
