I think keeping the format of the contestants being in the wings will be a bit less successful with a weekly run too, especially as with 22 boxes and a 20 episode run not everyone in the first episode will even get a chance. I assume they're still selecting them "randomly" at the beginning of each episode rather than adding in some kind of qualifier as international versions had, which I think with a limited run would be fairer, and actually an extra opening round would pace the hour a bit better.
