Page "Password (game show)" Paragraph 18

After the celebrity format modification proved unpopular with fans, Goodson-Todman made Password All-Stars simply Password again, but the show carried over elements of All-Stars mainly in order to use the set that had been redesigned for the all-celebrity period.

Among these were an elimination round in which four contestants ( two new players and the two players from the previous game ) competed with the help of the two celebrities in the first round.

In the qualifying round, one of the two celebrities used a one-word clue to a password ( with both celebrities alternating turns on giving clues ), and the four contestants would ring in with the password.

A correct response earned that contestant one point, with three points needed to qualify for the regular game.

An incorrect response locks that player out of the word in play.

The first two contestants to reach three points went on to play the regular Password game.
