Family Feud: The Avis Edition

READ THESE RULES. THIS GAME HAS DIFFERENT RULES THAN THE OTHER FAMILY FEUD THREADS.

First off, don’t read the other posts until you’ve submitted your own post. That hasn’t changed.

Second, read the questions and post an answer to each question. You don’t need to repeat the questions but please number your answers to make it easier for me to add them up.

Third - and here’s where it starts to gets weird - once fifty people have submitted their answers, I’ll add up the responses. But here’s the difference in this thread - the most popular answer to each question will be thrown out and all of the people who gave that answer will score zero points for that question. If two (or more) answers tie for the top place, both will be thrown out. Also any answer that’s simply wrong will also score zero points (although I’ll interpret the questions and answers broadly). After that, you get one point for every person besides yourself who gave the same answer you did.

So you want to guess a good answer but not a great answer. You want to ideally guess the second best answer to each question. But keep in mind, every one else is trying to do the same, so the what looks like the second best answer may end up being the one most people pick.
