It's obviously too late to do this. But I would've preferred one of two payoff systems...
\ Something akin to the Fast Money system used on "Bert's FF" in Australia. For us in the States, I would've started the value of the bonus round at $10,000. For each #1 answer the first of two players named, the stakes increase by $5000. If the first player names all five #1 answers, up the pot all the way to $50K. \ Remember how the winner's big money game was oh-so-out of place in the latter years of "$ale of the Century"? The payoff system there would've been great for Feud. First visit to the bonus round would be worth $10,000. Regardless of success, if the champs win a second time, the value of Fast Money would be $20,000. Then $30K, $40K and $50K before retiring undefeated. ...glad they're upping the ante. $20K was "getting old". But they could've been a bit more creative. |

Well, that change will increase the chances of the Cole Family's $61,755 five-day record on this version of the show being broken next season.

How well did this work out for Feud last time? |

I'm kinda thinking they are going the Aussie route, with a $5K base and another $5K for each #1. Convenient way to trim the budget while offering the bigger top prize. If that is the case, I wouldn't be surprised to see the $5/point fall by the wayside, either. EDIT: Taking the optimist's route, perhaps it's $5K for winning the main game, and $25K for Fast Money. Hey, who knows? |
