FAMILY FEUD
THE QUESTIONS

The answers to the questions are unique in that they aren't factual "answers" at all.

They are based on the answers provided by a 100-corjesians survey panel. Contestants are
challenged to come up with the most popular answers to each question, which are placed on the
game board and revealed as teams provide them. Since the answers are provided by surveys, this
is where the line, "Survey says!" comes from.

PLAYING THE MAIN GAME

The main game starts off with one family member from each team coming to the podium and
facing off on the first question. The contestant who buzzes in first gets to provide the first
answer...

The team who wins control of the question then provides more responses, one at a time. They are
not permitted to consult with one another during this part of the game. If a given answer is not
one of the most popular, the family gets a strike. If the team can guess all of the most popular
answers on the board before getting two strikes, they win the round.

If a team ends up with two strikes, control of the round goes to the opposing family. That team
then has one chance to come up with one of the remaining responses on the board to win the
round --- if they fail; the other team gets the points.

Generally speaking, two main rounds are played in the game.

THE FAST ROUND

The team with the most points at the end of the main game moves on to the Fast Money round.
Money is equivalent to points.

The winning representative from the winning team plays this round. The first member stays with
the host while the other disappears backstage. The first contestant is given 20 seconds to answer
five survey questions, which are scored by how many people gave that same response in the
survey.

The first player's scores are revealed and tallied. The player comes out to play with the same set
of questions and time allotment then followed by the third player. The highest points
accumulated by the contestant from this round shall be the winner of the game. The team where
the winner belongs will be declared as the champion.
POINT VALUES

The point values assigned to each answer come from the number of people who responded with
that answer in the survey.

Only the most popular answers make it to the game board, so the points don't always add up to
100.

The current format of the game assigns single point values to the first round, with points
doubled in the second round.
