Here's another Bullseye with the Goins family.

I'm trying to figure out how a score of $29,000 - $18,000 is possible. The only thing I've got is that they add $1000 for each day a family returns.

/But why wouldn't they mention this?

Except the team with $29K is announced as being on their second day; having earned $25K, there's $4,000 unaccounted for. As for the "returning bonus": the other Bullseye clip is from the Goins' second day; no bonus for them.

Originally, I suspected there might be some kind of unspoken $20,000 minimum, which would have been dumb enough. But after this second clip, I can't figure out what the hell's going on, short of everyone in the room being unable to add.

When the money is flying that fast, there's bound to be problems. Plus they don't have any sort of onstage graphic to check against, so we're going on John's say-so.

Good idea, piss-po' execution.

If that's the case, then why put it out on the internet for all the world to see in all its unedited glory?

Whoever handles Family Feud's official youtube channel has posted saying it was a mistake and it would be corrected before the show aired.

Why climb the highest mountain? Why, 82 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?

/and it's topical, see

I would've gone "Why does Notre Dame play anybody?" but I'll defer to your judgment this time.

At least we get to see the post-production process in action! Sort of.

So, they have to post-produce the sound, do cut-aways at awkward moments, and re-post-produce the graphics.

All this, instead of keeping a running total on a whiteboard or a monitor within John O'Hurley's field of vision.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the magic of modern television production!

And is it any wonder why we Americans don't do math anymore. Apparently, DoND put an end to all that tedious work.

The families' Bullseye scores were written on cue cards that were stuck to the bottom of each camera lens on either side of the stage, and someone held up one card with a line drawn down the middle, with the families' names and Bullseye scores, at the end of the "runway" next to the center camera.

If they wanna keep it around for next season, I'd suggest installing some monitors.
