The round where they build the answer board is too important to the outcome and should be controlled by a contestant, not a celebrity. Both in terms of points possible and quality of clues, this round really pretty much determines which team wins. Have one contestant run that for each team and then the winning team has the other contestant giving clues in the money round. Otherwise I like the 2 celeb setup better than the 4. Just that one thing doesn't give the contestants enough control over the outcome and they are the ones with the most to gain/lose. I know a lot of people want more celeb screen time for entertainment purposes but it's not right that the people who have their winnings on the line should have so little control over whether they get the chance for the money round. I find it just as entertaining either way really- I could enjoy it with no celebs.
Consistency needs to be established for prize quality from one episode to the next.
Also they need to be more consistent with the rules- the judging on what is or isn't allowed is very inconsistent, both on similar words and also facial gestures. Maybe have more specific rules, like I don't know if two words have the same root word or have 3 or more letters in the same position- but just whatever the rules they need to be more consistent.
Same thing for Meredith commenting during play, like saying "only 3 words left" or warning that the time is almost up... either have her do that stuff on everyone or nobody. It might help some or others might find that it is worse because it increases the pressure, but the fact she does it sometimes but not on others, or sometimes reminding some at the beginning of a round to pay attention to time or anything else that could be construed as her giving help, as the host, needs to be very consistent, so if she can't remember to do it every time then she needs to stop altogether.
Fairness, fairness, fairness!!!
