Piece of Ass
In the first round, "Piece of Ass", the three contestants are shown a category and turn by Stewart says the show's tagline Hit me, and must answer a question for 100 points. The contestant in the left podium begins the round. After seeing their category, contestants have the option of "doubling down", and instead receiving two questions in the category, for 200 points. However, if the contestant gets a question wrong, not only do they lose points corresponding to how much it was worth (100 normally, 200 for a double-down), but the other players have a chance to steal the question. Players are given 1000 points to begin the game. Also, one player may get a wild card instead of a category, and they must choose an opponent from whom to take 500 points if they can answer a single question.
