Worst scoring flaw?

(1/16) > >>

aaron sica:
DoorNumberFour's facebook post about the flawed scoring of NYSI74 got me thinking. Was that the worst scoring flaw in a game show? If not, what was?

TLEberle:
In terms of game balance, having the first two questions worth a point and the third worth twenty on The Cheap Show has to set the pace.

Jeremy Nelson:
Prize Puzzle. Since Wheel seems to be stripping away non-cash prizes little by little (apparently bonus round cars are the latest casualty), we might as well make the Wheel prize and the Prize Puzzle bonuses that don't count towards a player's score.

Also, I don't like that a family on Feud who has a strong showing on the first two boards gets sandbagged by an anemic double point round by design. We did the work to get 172 points and now the Double round is only worth 110? Nah, give me a chance to win in 3 boards or just revert the scoring to S-S-S-D-T.

Ian Wallis:
Super Password's $100 puzzle is the first thing that comes to mind.

SuperSweeper:
Body Language is what came to mind for me.
