Skinny for "The Pyramid"

Here's what we know so far for GSN's revival of "The Pyramid":

-In the intro, Mike will stand in between the two celebrities by introducing each of them & then himself before the opening logo sequence.
-There will be seven items in each category that have to be identified in :30, but there will be no bonus cards (at least for now).
-In the Winner's Circle, the first box's worth $100 & each of the next four are worth $100 more than the last, up to $500 for the fifth box. The hardest one of them all at the top's worth $750.
-At the start of each game, $10K is placed in both contestants' WC banks. Every time a player sweeps a category, s/he wins $500 & $5K's added to his/her WC bank for that game. Thus, players have a chance to win up to $53K.
