Does Supermarket Sweep engage a compliance service such as Sullivan?

In the current Family Feud, once they get to the Sudden Death face off (if nobody reaches 300 points), what happens if both contestants miss?  I've never seen it but I'd imagine they'd probably edit it out of the show rather than going back to the heads of families for the answer.

He built a house by himself? Why would he keep that a secret?

Wasn’t him—next contestant (a female—at the time females weren’t known for housebuilding).

I would have misremembered the spelling. I believe Eye Guess gave out his home study course to contestants that flubbed some number of questions consecutively.

Not sure if it’s the same person or not but there was a Harry Lorayne who hawked a “Memory Power” on Amazing Discoveries in the early 1990s.

I for one whenever I play along always try to associate the number selected with the prize shown... (e.g. Luggage under # 14, I think "Luggage needed for a 14 day vacation", or "Refrigerator under #23, I associate 23 degrees being cold, freezing even, like a Refrigerator...of course that logic could work with all 25 numbers on the board!

Do you or anyone remember a so-called “memory expert” who made the TV rounds back in the 70s? I’m sure he was a guest on Wonderama for one. Your strategy was what he suggested.

It's not just you. It doesn't appear to be on Prime anymore. It is still on some other services such as Plex.

Thanks for the confirmation, although the whys of it still baffle me. What's weird is that I had been watching The Bowss like two days before and was just ambushed. No warning, nothing, just poof.

Any idea of what some of those other services might be? I was searching through old press releases and what not and wasn't able to find it on things like Tubi and so forth. I'm wondering if there is a more obscure one my friend and myself can install where it will just sit peacefully. (I do have Plex of course but that's a little more complicated for my friend.)
