Help me here, dear ones. If the telecasts are going to be run out of order, what's the point in having returning champions?

It's probably more of a benefit to the program staff (fewer families to audition) and the families (more potential earnings.) They probably figure we viewers will watch the shows in whatever order they are shown.

Well, we could tape (or DVR) the entire season and then watch the shows in proper returning-family order...

Heaven help the family who wins a game shown on February 29th!
