As some of you know, I host an occasional game with other game show fans. If you have a few moments, would you please answer some survey questions at this link? As a token of my appreciation, I will give one randomly selected person an Amazon gift card. Your answers will not be used for any other purpose besides the game.

Thank you.

Filled it out. Quick and painless.

Ditto.

Done.

It\'s funny, anytime I ever do that (and once many years ago, I actually did it for the real show) I\'m torn between giving my first-instinct answer, which is sometimes pretty \"out there\", and stopping to consider what a \"good\" answer ought to be. In other words, playing the game that hasn\'t even been made yet, and that my very answers will help shape.

I would love to see what results you end up with, because it strikes me that a lot of those questions do not really lend themselves to the sort of bunched-consensus responses the show usually needs to work.

Done.

Just curious, what method did they use to conduct the surveys on the Dawson or Combs series?

See note at: recursion.

Quick fun and painless. Thanks for letting me participate.

Yeah, among others, I will be surprised if those \"best/worst commercial\" questions produce any useful data at all. I\'m pretty sure my answers won\'t be duplicated.

When the survey closes and some games are in the can, I\'ll be happy to post a link with the survey results.

As much as Richard and Ray deserve their plaudits for hosting the show so well, looking at the list of questions as well as the questions I used in hosting about a dozen \"episodes\" of the game, Family Feud is a show that lives on the strength of the material. From my furtive work-shirking tally I figure there\'s three or so key tests that a survey question needs to pass to work on the game show, and I think the ABC/CBS days were really good at vetting for those things.

Done. You\'re welcome.

What, if anything, did the show provide for compensation?

My guess: the satisfaction that his voice was heard.

And that\'s also your compensation for a correct answer.
