Trust me, I've seen people who took the most innocuous questions and turned them into disasters, both on game shows as well as my own students on exams. [/quote]
I understand if you fumble when you're nervous, but how hard is it to find a word that rhymes with another one? I could do that in 1st grade. Plus, you still get three strikes, so if a member of your family totaly messes up, you get another two chances at it with different people. (Also, I never said anything about fast money in my orginal post. I was refering to that question being asked in the main round) [/quote]
I'll reiterate what another poster said above. Family Feud is a survey game. A perfectly good answer may not make the survey. If this family swept the board, I'd say it was due to luck more than anything else. There are a lot of words that rhyme with "gun," and it is not a foregone conclusion that someone will sweep the board on any question. I've seen plenty of occasions when a player would give an answer that common sense would say should never appear, and yet it does. I've also seen outstanding answers that didn't make the survey for whatever reason. Whether we're talking about the main game or Fast Money, the principle here remains the same.
My main point here is to be careful when making assumptions -- they don't always hold true.
