Elimination Jeopardy

This game show would be a derivative of Jeopardy, in which players ask questions corresponding to answers given to them, in hopes of getting a large sum of money.

In Elimination Jeopardy, however, players lose money when they are inactive, rather than ask the wrong question. Each starts with $180, but every second, $1.00 would be removed from that amount (complete with a quiet whooshing sound). When a player reaches -$1.00, they are removed from the game. Hence, the only way to stay in the game is to ask the correct questions and get more money.
