I've been watching this primetime version of the show off/on for its 20+ years. Watched over 1k of the 2.3k daytime episodes of the 70's version hosted by Richard Dawson.
But what continues to crack me up, is when a family loses at the Fast Money bonus round and billionaire Steve Harvey tells the team of five people that they get to share a grand total of $835 (which divided by five is $167 per person.).
Why is the sympathetic reward prize for the bonus round still only $5 dollars per point?! $5 dollars!? It was $5 per point back when Richard Dawson hosted the show! Hasn't there been a little bit of inflation since the 70's?
At least on "Wheel of Fortune" if you fail to solve any puzzles correctly you get $1,000 per contestant as a consolation. But on "Family Feud", each member of the Fast Money bonus round team gets an average of $160-$170, barely enough for their Greyhound bus ticket to get back home.
Come on guys! Let's see some real money!!
I know paying Steve Harvey to host the show is expensive, but contestants are winning $200k-$300k on other primetime game shows. Which is just slightly more than $167 per person.
