 Maybe. OR...maybe she would have _too much_ knowledge.

Consider: Top, say, seven answers are on the board. Other team plucks off Numbers 1 through 5, and then strikes out. Two answers, the "most obscure" two that still made the survey, are left. And here's Tracy, who played professionally, knows _hundreds_ of professional female tennis players, and is tasked with trying to come up with one of the two who fit in that slot, when she could prolly come up with twenty or more, each with an equal probability of being there.

Knowing the question is half of he Feud. Knowing how _other people would answer it_ is the other half.

inturnaround:
I didn't have that much of a problem with heckling. Then again, I'm a big fan of MST3k, so I might not be the best person to judge heckling.

I had more of a problem with people saying "Good answer! Good answer!" to obviously bad answers.  Then again, that's a problem with all Feuds, not just Ray's.

No, the problem I had with Combs' Feud was the (then) ubiquitous "Baby Rap" spot. Our local station must have played that thing a million times. It wasn't a bad promo, it was cute, but it got in my brain and made me forget things like my name and where I lived.

"Do the baby rap...AHHH AHHH...do the baby rap..."

Other than that, I liked Ray's Feud just fine.

I always hated that rule because it goes against the original idea of the game. One team builds a bank until they clear the board or get three strikes. The opposing team can then steal their work. If they happen to get another, so what, it's still worth the $x team one built up.

 I disagree. The family that steals should still get credit for the steal, because they were the ones that gave the answer that gave them the bank.

So, in essence, they should still add the points of the Stolen Answer to the bank.
