You can "face the facts" all you want. I find the show borders on unwatchable for the most part and therefore pass it by.
Until next time, I'll be in my balcony.

Like Steve or hate Steve, this thread was supposed to be about contestant responses. I'm all for debate on this topic, but posting it in a thread that was asking for a completely opposite response seems kinda unnecessary.
Something a doctor pulls out of a person...a gerbil.

Who said anything about hating Steve? Furthermore, threads go on tangents around here. When someone decides to ramble and dictate what can be discussed, it typically doesn't end well.

When you start a post with a aggressive statement like "Time to face facts," you are inviting comment.
Sonic Whammy:
I knew whether I said what I said at the beginning or not I was going to see some comments, so I just said screw it. However, I'm still glad I did, because I liked (mostly) the replies to said tangent. There's nothing wrong with Harvey not being your personal taste if that's really the only problem. Hey, the rest of my family who's endured a lifetime of my watching shows is the total opposite: they love Harvey and can't stand Dawson the womanizer. It is what it is, we all love Feud, and we all rank differently, this room is skewed is all. I'm cool with that.
To tie it all together, here's another answer to add to the pile. Buzzr tonight reran the Dawson woman who kept repeating appliances and tires that were already on the board to the question "a product designed to wear out in a specific of time." We see that on the clip shows all the time. Well, Harvey's equivalent of that woman was the lady who was on recently who was asked for another word people use for their mother. She kept repeating Mommy (already on the board) and Nana (already got a strike), but kept changing the inflection thinking that counted as something different. Steve's response to the insanity, I accept completely. I would have been hard pressed to not do something in reply either to avoid going crazy. And no matter what, the darn woman just didn't get it.

Co-sign. And when "I've ticked off some purists" = one post by Travis, and maybe Chris' response, it feels like an OP who's spoiling for a fight just as much as (more than...?) wanting responses to the question.
And to that original post, I think a lot of the contention with Harvey Feud comes from the fact they're trying so hard to serve up this stuff on a silver platter. The answer "naked grandma" was in response to the question "Name something a burglar would not want to see when he breaks into a house." Perfect! From what I remember of Steve's first year, there was a lot of that fun to go around.
I personally find it funnier when a goofy Hail Mary answer comes at a question that wasn't expecting it, instead of the other way around. The answers aren't "unintentionally honest" when they're the hoped-for punchlines. You'll notice a lot of Match Game's appearances on the clip shows aren't from the questions where "boobs" or "tinkle" was the definitive answer. Some, yes, but far from a majority.
