It chafes a little that a team that was largely unremarkable up to that point gets to play to divide $100,000 as happened last night. And the Super Offer is a complicating non-issue as well.

Tonight's new episode featured a team of three brothers playing together. The first brother banks the wuss offer of $15,000; the second goes down the middle to bank $30,000, the third brother is asked directly by Mark what it would take to take the step up the board. He says "$100,000" and that's what Mark offers. Third brother is caught so the pot is $45,000.

The team moves ahead 17 steps ahead and it takes Mark a minute 52 seconds to catch. Contestants defeated.

Well, guess I don't need to watch it now.

They seem to be more lenient about accepting answers on the new Chain Reaction. Taking forms of words ending in ED or ING. On Dylan's CR, they gave you singular & plural. Otherwise, you needed to give the exact word to score. A minor quibble. I don't think this takes away too much from the game playing.

The Canadian version sounded the cuckoo and the player was told "form of the word"; was the player given a chance to give the right answer?

Mike Catherwood is so good at hosting (and shows more emotion in a single segment than Dylan Lane showed in the entire two season run) that I can forgive non-issues like "form of the word." Betting chain still consumes a satchel of private detectives, and the super chain end game is a suitable final challenge though it seems that on the last word the team is only shown three letters even if time is remaining.

Three letters is the maximum revealed on any given word. It was part of the rules language in at least some of the episodes.

Serves me right for watching on fast forward then, but it does seem like an odd rule, but it does explain why teams were passing on words when there were still letters obscured. If not for the noxious betting round it would rate higher than Canadian Reaction.

(Did the show cut out the second $100 chain to allow Mike to have more flexibility in reacting to things more than just "nope, that's wrong."?

On the one episode I have seen with Mike, he called a wrong answer, "a good answer."  How could that be?
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

Why don't you ask some of the contestants on Family Feud this question?

Because on FF that happens before the answer is revealed.  On CR, Mike said it after the answer is revealed to be wrong.

Sounds like Mike was expressing his opinion. He thought the answer was good, even though it wasn't correct.

Sounds like he's simply saying it's a good guess and logically fits as an answer. Keeps the game moving along, whether he meant it or not.

Because wrong answers can be good answers.  This isn't a high school true/false test.
