Worst scoring flaw?
rjaguar3:
Also flawed is the Eubanks Dream House series scoring of playing to a fixed number of questions: where you can guarantee a win by not challenging or where you must challenge to stay in the game (but some teams still didn't do this). I think Richard Reid was in the "viewers won't notice the scoring flaw if the host doesn't draw attention to it" camp.

The 750 point round isn’t useless if you win it and the game as it becomes another $187 for each teammate.
Also if you’re on Rodeo Drive and don’t know celebrity gossip you dood it wrong.

Plus winning the 750 round gets you two shots at the bonus if your team won the 250 and 500 rounds. It could conceivably be worth an extra $2687 per civilian player.

Yes, but we're specifically talking about the situation where the teams have split the 250 and 500 rounds.

Regarding Money Game and being rewarded with less for making better car pricing guesses, the same goes for Pathfinder and the notion that you can't win the 3 SPs unless you need to earn additional chances. However, unless you're 100% certain of the prices of any SPs, there's no incentive to deliberately step to the wrong numbers in the price of the car.
That said, I've always thought that the contestants should be given the opportunity to price all 3 SPs upfront and receive insurance markers in case they do step to any of the wrong numbers.
