Family Feud news for the new season Options

[abba]

Some Feud scoop for 2009!!! Families will be able to win up to $30,000 per day!! Pretty snazzy..eh?

If it were me, I'dve bumped it to $25K and made the losing money $10/point. It's been $5/pt for over 30 years...time for a boost.

Maybe there considering $10/point as well.

Having Bullseye means sacrificing one round of a regular game... on the Combs version and later Dawson version, they played single, double, triple, and one more triple. With today's timing, they'd probably play 3 rounds a la the "Celeb Family Feud", but with single, double, and triple to be sure that the game is decided on the 3rd round.

I don't know, Chad gave a possible solution that could work where you have four maingame rounds and a Bullseye round. Perhaps instead of having it so that each family member faces off, just have the captains. Shaves a few seconds off.

/I watched Bert's Family Feud and thought the "How many #1 answers determined your Fast Money winnings" concept was dumb. If you get a putz up there who gets 36 points for the team, they're not gonna be happy campers when they find out they're only playing for $5,000.

That's kind of why I like the way the British version does it. One cash prize for getting to 200. A bigger cash prize for getting all five top answers between the two players.

So, exactly where's this assumption coming from that the $30,000 won't just be a direct "Score 200 points, win $30,000". I interpret the "up to" to simply mean that "If they do win they won't have won more, and if they don't win they'll have earned less". Seems that a direct prize bump is the simplest explanation.

Nowhere in particular. It's just fun to speculate.

I remember a thread on here about 2 years back when the show went on- that was one of the complaints, coupled with the fact that the way the $100,000 was earned was quite anticlimactic, A player who racks up 186 and has all top answers leaves their teammate simple work, and leaves the audience only wondering which answer they're gonna collect on. But yeah, the prize ladder on Bert's FF was fine- it was the execution that left the concept broken.

If they're implementing Bullseye, then they're going to have to eliminate a regular round, and eliminating the need for the sudden-death, not-always-used round five isn't going to save enough time. What format did they use on Celebrity Family Feud last year? Was it single-single-triple-sudden death? If it was, then I'd wager that that's what they'd do to accommodate Bullseye.

(Then again, I've seen a couple of episodes this season where the show ran short and they had to pad things out with thirty to sixty seconds of clips from previous episodes. So maybe they're not hurting for time.)
