I’ve seen the Face The Banker part. If it’s been sped up, it’s not enough for my liking. And it’s still essentially a game of chance, which I don’t find intriguing. I have lots of other things taking up my time, so I’m cool with half an episode’s worth of entertainment. The contests are a riot, at least! 
Also, I’ve been around the block many times, and one of the harsh lesson’s that’s been repeatedly drilled into me is that trying to determine in advance what I’m going to like or dislike is a fool’s game. There have been a lot of things that sounded very promising that I ended up disliking or even despising (Am I really going to bring up Son of Zorn again? Oh, heck with it, here you go. 
), and there have been more than a few things that I never saw myself totally getting into that I did. (36 volumes or Ranma 1/2, baby!) So maybe the new banker is only pretending to be female, and maybe someone gets attacked by an octopus, and maybe Dr. Will makes the final only to be called away for an emergency surgery and he tries to explain that he’s not that kind of doctor but nobody listens, and maybe there’s that one ultra mega special case that reverses the effects of all the other special cases, but then someone finds the SUPER ultra mega special case that reverses that case…who can say? To paraphrase that Marvel editor: KEEP WATCHING!
(I do have a strong feeling that I’m going to enjoy this season more than Special Forces World’s Toughest Test, for whatever that’s worth.)
