What caused the change I wonder?<br />Maybe it's reality shows - with each season the contestants are trying more and more to game the system, and maybe game show contestants have learned from this?<br />I can see how this would be annoying.

I don't care if they skip around. I think that's the only chance the contestants who have fallen behind have to catch up.
