Word Games: Figure It Out

[CrystBalfast]

If your avatar was on Figure It Out, would your avatar be a contestant with a talent or a Panelist?

For those unfamiliar with the show, here's how it works:
There's 2 games per episode as its played with 4 Panelists as they have 3 Rounds to find out why the contestant is present. But the only catch is that the Panelists can only ask Yes or No Questions while doing so.
When asking a question and if a question contains one of the words of that contestant's talent, that word will be revealed on Billy the Answer Head.

If the contestant stumps the Panelists in each round, that contestant wins a prize and if the contestant stumps the Panelists in all 3 rounds, that contestant wins the Grant Prize.

When a Panelist asks a question and the contestant answers Yes to it, that Panelist gets another turn. However, if the contestant says No, then that Panelist's turn ends and gameplay proceeds to the next Panelist. If a Panelist is having a Hard Time, that Panelist can Pass his or her turn to the Next Panelist. 1 Clue for each Round will be provided during gameplay.

In Round 2, a random audience member gets her or his time to shine by winning a prize, should a Panelist preform a Secret Slime Action & if that Panelist preforms that action, that Panelist gets slimed and that audience member wins a prize.

After 3 Rounds, if the Panelists are still unable to find out the contestant's talent, a Sudden Death Round is played in which all 4 Panelists must guess what's on Billy the Answer Head but can't ask any more Yes or No Questions to the contestant.
After the game, win or lose, that talent is preformed by the contestant.

I would probably be a panelist, I don't really have any good talents.

So Nickelodeon's Figure It Out is sort of like America's Got Talent in a way.

However, in the Second Round, a Random Audience Member is selected to win a Prize & here's how that works:
Before the Show's start, a Secret Slime Action is chosen at random and if a Panelist preforms that action, an alarm will be sounded and that Panelist gets drenched in Nickelodeon Slime, causing that audience member to win that that prize. Seeing a Panelist get covered in Nickelodeon Slime is really funny to watch as an Instant Replay on the SlimeCam would be shown to see that Panelist's reaction after preforming the Secret Slime Action or Panelists' Reaction if 2 or more Panelists preform the Secret Slime Action.

However, a Panelist can't dodge the slime that's coming down onto that Panelist's Head but a Panelist can put on a helmet to shield themselves from the slime that is released if that Panelist is feels the need to do so. Sometimes, more than one Panelist may get slimed if 2 or more Panelists preform the Secret Slime Action. It may happen before a Round's Questions start or during a Round, if the Secret Slime Action happens, the round continues from where it was left off afterwards until that Round ends.

Anyway, here's a example of the Secret Slime Actions that happened during the television show's Classic Era from 1997 to 1999 from all 3 Classic Incarnations:


The Prize structure for the player with a hidden talent is like this such the player stump the panelists:
1. A Prop from a Nickelodeon Show's Stash
2. Standard Prize
3. Grand Prize

Figure It Out has 3 Classic Incarnations:
Original, Family Style & Wild Style.

Original Figure It Out lasted from 1997 to 1998
Figure It Out Family Style lasted from 1998 to 1999
and the last Classic Incarnation:
Figure It Out Wild Style lasted from 1999 to 2000

Figure It Out also got a Reboot Incarnation that lasted from 2012 to 2013.
So overall, Figure It Out has 4 Incarnations.

In the Family Style Incarnation, a Bonus Prize would be a Award to the Players if they stump the Panelists one more time and to do that, the Panelists would need to answer a question that's describes that Player's Talent in more detail so they can reveal what's on Little Billy the Answer Head which sometimes appears with a single blank. After that, the talent is still preformed by the players, win or lose, after the game.

In the Wild Style Incarnation, Billy the Answer Head would be replaced by one of Billy the Answer Head's Animal Friends but functions the same way as it does in both the Original & Family Style Incarnations. The Animal Friends of Billy the Answer Head would be a pig, goat, elephant, and so on.

In both Family & Wild Style Incarnations, the player would bring a family member or friend to be his or her teammate if they have a group talent to preform.

Also in the Television Show, before the next round, the Host would give helpful hints to the Panelists using the Clue Recap Board.

Panelist.

Nice.

I can imagine the announcer in a Figure It Out Game introducing the Panelists:
From Kingdom Hearts AU: Mermaid Kairi
Also from Kingdom Hearts AU: Mermaid Namine
Also from Kingdom Hearts AU: Mermaid Xion
and named after a character from In Another World with my Smartphone: Moroha
It would be cute to see an 3 Female Kingdom Hearts AU Little Mermaid Incarnation Panelists, Kairi, her sisters Namine & Xion

I can imagine that Mermaid Namine would yelp as she gets covered in Nickelodeon Slime after preforming the Secret Slime Action.

Some Secret Slime Actions in the Television Show would include doing something or saying a word that triggers it, but when it happens, its really funny to watch.

One more thing I forgot to mention that during the closing credits of the television show is that in earlier episodes, the Host would chat with the audience members to see which audience member has a hidden talent.

Also, in the Series Finale of the Classic Era of Figure It Out, Wild Style Incarnation in 1999, CatDog made an appearance in the Final Episode as a Panelist.
