That feels really ticky-tacky, almost to the point of an S&P violation. Jeopardy! doesn't change the categories of the Double round based on the amount of the lead, and Feud shouldn't be doing that. If they're worried about a game only taking three rounds, they should play single-single-single-double-breakneck speed triple like on the CBS show.

How is it any different than on Press Your Luck when the fourth question's difficulty was based how many spins were given in the first three questions? Not disagreeing, just giving another example of monkeying.[/quote]
I can see why some people would be uncomfortable with this, and it even bugs me a little, but technically it's not changing the outcome of the game, just the length of time it takes for that outcome to occur. It's sort of like the celebrity briefings on The Hollywood Squares. The celebs can be given the questions and answers if the producers so desire. It's still up to the contestants to determine whether the celebs' answers are right or wrong, which is what determines the outcome of the game.
