So since they always call having less than $0 "in the hole" on #Jeopardy I think those contestants should be literally lowered into a hole as their score goes down. Each would stand on a platform that lowers incrementally as soon as they get below zero, so at -$500 you're in up to your knees, at -$1500 only your head is showing, etc, until you disappear at -$2000. Let's do this
Btw before you suggest raising the platform as scores go up, we've workshopped that already and there are considerable practical impediments in implementation. Taken to its conclusion the idea would radically increase jeopardy's admirably low contestant fatality rate
