For the first time in a while, I watched the show “Family Feud” (in its newest version, with Louie Anderson as host) today, since I am now on second shift at work and found myself home in the morning.
Why did they mess with the format of the show? Not only does it make the show less interesting, but less fair as well. The change I mean is that they have three single-point rounds followed by one triple-point round. (The double-point round seems to have been eliminated.) So a family that wins the first three games (as happened today) is in no better shape going into the fourth round than the other team is. In other words, you could lose the first three rounds, win the fourth, and be the winners–the first three rounds are therefore completely worthless.
Am I crazy, or is this game really not fair anymore?
(I know this is pretty pointless and petty, but it’s the little things in life that sometimes bother me, you know.)
