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.

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.

Up to $30,000? Does this mean that the Bullseye/Bankroll round comes back? 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?

Jeremy Nelson · « **Reply #7 on:** May 27, 2009, 12:13:39 AM »

I'm thinking it could be $20K still, but with a $10K bonus for all five top answers.

I'm probably in the minority, but I actually liked the Bullseye game.

On the contrary, sir. I was a mark for the Bullseye round myself. I thought itmade for a good warm-up to the Feud itself.

Sodboy13 · « **Reply #9 on:** May 27, 2009, 01:12:08 AM »

I like the Bullseye round; however, I didn't care for the scoring system of the main game necessitated by its addition.

chad1m · « **Reply #10 on:** May 27, 2009, 01:33:10 AM »

I don't think the pacing of the show would be hurt if they added the Bullseye. The way it's set up now, the first segment is rounds one and two, second is double points round three, third is triple points round four and five, if needed and the fourth segment is Fast Money (which sometimes begins in segment three if the game is won in three rounds.) Make segment one Bullseye plus round one, segment two round two and segment three rounds three and four. Make sure the "only read once, three seconds" rule is always invoked in round four and try to use surveys with more points and fewer answers in that round to avoid going to a rushed round five.

Sodboy13 expressed my thoughts on the Bullseye round to a T.

Craig Karlberg · « **Reply #12 on:** May 27, 2009, 03:43:53 AM »

I wouldn't mind a Bullseye format to start. In order for a family to play for the max $30K pot, start them with a bankroll of $15K. Each question adds money to the roll($1K, $2K,... up to $5K), As Chad mentioned, switch some of the rounds around & the pacing won't be adversely affected with some minor tweaks.

whewfan · « **Reply #13 on:** May 27, 2009, 08:06:45 PM »

I think there would be a MAJOR issue with timing if they reintroduced the Bullseye game, and as it is, they barely have time to play 4 full rounds plus a quick "sudden death" round. If you notice in the early Karn eps. that introduced the 300 point format, there's a LOT of noticeable editing.

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.
