The defending winner would defend their title in the following episode. The prize is automatically won in addition to the jackpot if the contestant gets all six right. The defending winner keeps playing until defeated in the Challenge Round or wins the jackpot in which he/she retires undefeated. 2008–2009: Word & Picture format The Word & Picture format ran from May 5, 2008 to April 8, 2009. The show started with the elimination round. 30 contestants were situated in the gallery, one of which was the defending champion. A contestant was randomly chosen to answer a question, and they were eliminated if they did not answer or answered incorrectly. Once four players remain, the champion received a question. If the player did not get it right, more players were randomly chosen to answer the question until a correct answer was given. The five players went on to the next round; anyone who did not get chosen to answer a question would return the next episode to compete again. The next round is the Pick-A-Word round, where an LED screen (Previously, Monitors) featured nine clue words to nine different questions, each with a different value (either ₱1,000, ₱3,000, and ₱5,000) and had to be answered in eight minutes. The first question and amount were chosen at random, while all others were chosen by the player. If the question was answered correctly, points are earned, while questions that went unanswered or were given the wrong answer deducted points. If the contestant got five consecutive correct answers, they won the money in the pot. Scores were represented numerically and in the form of platforms that raised or lowered the player accordingly. The three players with the highest scores went to the next round, while the others took home money equal to half their score. The Take-A-Pic round worked almost exactly like the previous round, except pictures of famous people were used instead of words, and the amounts were higher (₱5,000, ₱7,000, and ₱10,000), and it lasted for five minutes. The highest-scoring player goes to the final round, and the remaining take home money equal to half their score. Below is an example of how the board is on this round: In the final round, nine words are given. The player picks a word, and had to answer seven questions themed around that word in 60 seconds. If the seven questions were answered correctly,
