[quote name=\'Neumms\' date=\'Jun 29 2003, 01:10 AM\'] I hadn't seen the family pair episodes, so thanks for pointing that out.
Well, what about teaming up two total strangers, as on "You Bet Your Life"? They could switch strangers after the first round. Or what if they were strangers but had the same job, as on "Hot Potato"? Or what if they got sort of creative? Stay-at-home moms versus stay-at-home dads? Bald guys versus toupee wearers? Blonde versus brunette week?
I'd go for anything to keep them from inviting Leeza Gibbons back. But what do you think of it? [/quote]
Strangers who have the same job could still wind up with inside clues, but at least unlike relatives or friends you wouldn't have to worry about them working out some kind of code.

Indeed...the ep that's been floating around has a mom offering \"Bobby is your...\" as a clue for 'cousin' to her son.

zachhoran:
THose \"known only between the family/friends\" kind of clues are sometimes given in the Pyramid-like \"30 second shootout\" game on the PAX run of Supermarket Sweep(where a player has 30 seconds to communicate as many words on a card to their teammate, the first letters of which are clues to a grocery item or brand name)
Neumms:
They could just make inside clues illegal, worthy of a cuckoo.
The bigger point is, they'd be far better off figuring out some way to ditch celebrities if they can't attract entertaining, well-known ones.
inturnaround:
Yeah, but a cuckoo on an inside clue...couldn't that get extremely subjective?
