Why was it so common for them to have three women playing during the Burgo era? It was always Man-Woman-Man or Woman-Man-Woman during Tony's run, and there were a few episodes in 1997 where it was three women, Woman-Man-Man or Man-Woman-Woman, but after 1997, it almost never happened again apart from 2 state challenge episodes (the latter example was just because of 3 semi-finalists who advanced to the grand final) and a celebrity special in 1998 with the Wiggles playing (which was possibly the only time 3 men have played on our version), and it always a champion versus an opponent of the opposite gender, and an opponent of the same gender. Although there were a couple of episodes during the 2008 refail (sorry, revamp) where they had a reigning champion against 2 opposite gender opponents

At the start of 1995, the gold background reverted to blue, and the red/yellow/blue lighting features either side of contestants row became a dark blue colour
