Not to mention that there are 90 million different factors that can have your ratings jump .1 or .2 either way or more from week to week (power outages in areas, upcoming elections and debates, weather related issues, sports, other program bumps, etc.). As such, that .1 or .2 decrease could just as easily be bumped the other way that next week.[/quote]
Don't forget rounding errors...a show bouncing back and forth between .1 and .2 is probably somewhere in the .14-.16 range.

The prize budget per show is $20,000 and a fifth of whatever car the show awards their retiring champs.[/quote]
Which leaves me wondering why they got rid of Bullseye this season. Even with a potential $30,000 + 1/5 Car per show budget, weren't they still giving away less money than before?

Since Fast Money isn't won every day, the prize budget is even less than that.

My guess is because Steve Harvey's stamp on the show has been his lengthy reactions to answers and family members, so there would have been no way they could have fit Bullseye in without editing out a lot of Steve stuff. Note that the eight-answer surveys have all but disappeared this season, presumably for the same reason.

(Steve Harvey's other stamp on the show has been his habit of fixing the neckties of male contestants.)
