Karn Feud 9:30am (7/5)

[Lingofan97]

Wow. This is the first time I've ever seen this.

After the third survey, which was worth double, a family won the whole game by getting 313 points (winning 3 of 3 surveys) half way through the episodes. Now they have about 13 minutes, with a commercial to burn through Fast Money.

That happened quite a few times during the second season of the Karn era (2003-04). After that, it only happened once in season 3, and once in season 4.

Season 3 and season 4? Were those the 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons?

Yeah, I've seen this happen a few times, but this is rare.

Richard Karn's version started in 2002. Unless you're referring to Louie Anderson's version. Here are Karn's seasons if I recall.

Season 1: 2002-2003
Season 2: 2003-2004
Season 3: 2004-2005
Season 4: 2005-2006

So, Karn only hosted 4 seasons. John O'Hurley took over in 2006. I just thought I'd lay out the seasons.

I'm just talking about all the seasons since 1999, starting with Louie Anderson. So this also happened during the 2004-05 and 05-06 season, (Karn seasons 3 and 4) Since 1999, Feud all together has had 13 seasons, and the 14th is coming up (12-13)

I think I remember watching that episode on GSN before.

If I remember correctly, the family won the game so quickly, they had to air additional commercials to take up time, so that the show lasted 30 minutes.

That's why they "structure" the points for the questions so that it's near impossible to win before the triple point question. To be fair, it would make filling time much harder, so I won't complain about it.

The family won 15 minutes into the game, they had a commercial, they played the first round of Fast Money in three minutes (a minute longer than usual), then a commercial, then six minutes for the second part of fast money.

It's moments like this where I wish Family Feud will go back to the rule in 1999-2003 where there was no goal of points. But, what happened here is probably so rare. Harvey's surveys are probably fixed so it doesn't add up to close to 300.
