Seriously. I've seen it debated on the game show Internets, and it's time to take a stand. Should Feud increase its measly five dollars a point for the losers in the bonus round? That teensy-weensy amount has stayed the same since Richard Dawson's smoochin' days, maybe four inflation cycles ago.
After all, Feud has jacked the original five grand for the winners to twenty thousand dollars, as the contestants always holler. Would a few more bucks per point for the losers break the bank?
My malevolent self sort of likes the all-or-almost-nothing nature of this beast. The paltry consolation prize makes close misses really excruciating. But my better nature - it does exist, believe it or not - wants to see the hard-playing contestants get a few more greenbacks. Harvey's raised the ratings enough to cover a little extra in the prize budget. Make it ten dollars a point, at least.
