What I don't like about Combs' Feud

It does take an incident like that to alter a game. Well said.

Just an aside because I seem to be putting these in all my posts lately: in playing "Feud" both with the board game and now its questions on Todd's software, my friends pass A LOT. I almost wanna come out and say why they shouldn't, but they're realizing it. Last game when one team stole a whopping $45 and new the rest of the answers, they decided to play more. The opponents also realized that they should knock off the easy answers first. Now if each team just combined the two theories... :)

Indeed. And agreed. I can imagine it'd be difficult to focus on giving a good answer with the other side shouting, "Strike! Strike!". Goodson was still around
at the time. I'm surprised he allowed that crap. If that had gone on with Richard
at the helm, I could see him saying, "Cut that out. What the hell are you doing?".

 Actually, I could see Richard Dawson doing that also. :)  It doesn't seem like something Richard would have liked.

That being said, I remember one early Tournament of Champs c. 1989 or 90, where the head of the opposing team yelled out, "That's right! One more red X!" and crossed his arms to make an X, so I'm wondering if Goodson had much to say then.

I was wondering if I was the only one that thought so...

Also, what is the deal with the signs with the red strike on them that the contestants hold up? It seems to me like they serve no purpose. No one needs to be constantly reminded of the number of strikes a family has and certainly a player who has just gotten a strike doesn't need to be reminded. So what was the thought behind the strike signs?
