Pilot
The format was basically the same as the show that eventually made it to air, but with some differences:
- The announcer was veteran voice actor Brian Cummings (also announcer of Let's Make a Deal in 1984). Unlike Tiny and MC Mike, he did not appear on camera.
- Each stunt earned $25 to the winners, with $1 per item for the runners-up (similar to how the "Key Game" worked in the British version).
- Instead of three stunts, there were four (two stunts for the boys, two stunts for the girls).
- The Grand Prix race also had red tokens in addition to white and blue. Red ones were worth $10, white, $25, and blue, $50. Winning the race also earned $50.
- In the Fun House, both teammates could grab two tags at once, and that was it. There was also a room that contained seven amounts-- $100, $200, $300, $400, $500, $1,000, and $2,000, the amount of which could be won by stopping a light at random. There were only seven tags in the house, and the Power Prize tag earned the team all the prizes, totaling over $25,000. The team still had two minutes to grab tags.

Famous quotes containing the word pilot:
“In the true mythology, Love is an immortal child, and Beauty leads him as a guide: nor can we express a deeper sense than when we say, Beauty is the pilot of the young soul.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Whenever the weather licks the pilot instead of him lickin’ the weather, he’s finished. The first time makes the second time easier. And the first thing he knows, he’s in trouble when the weather is perfect.”
—Frank W. Wead (1895?–1947)
“With two sons born eighteen months apart, I operated mainly on automatic pilot through the ceaseless activity of their early childhood. I remember opening the refrigerator late one night and finding a roll of aluminum foil next to a pair of small red tennies. Certain that I was responsible for the refrigerated shoes, I quickly closed the door and ran upstairs to make sure I had put the babies in their cribs instead of the linen closet.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
