Let's say, for example, you had one of those questions. Without a rule set forth, what's to stop a smart contestant from saying, "Well, I could say (A) or (B) or ©, but I'm going to say (D)?" The whole point of the question part was for each contestant to answer individually and show he/she knew a little something; after all, they're not going to give away $2 million because you have one smart person on your team![/quote]
In my view, the biggest problem with Greed was that it was rushed to air so quickly that they really didn't have time to shake out all these sorts of nuances before examples of them started happening on the show. Sure, there was a rule that the captain couldn't consult with the other players, but I remember an instance where a player clearly indicated to the captain which answer needed to be swapped.
Another huge awkward issue was the Terminator, and whether a player could buzz in before the question was finished. The original rule was that you had to wait, but when somebody actually went and did it, and then had to be told that he lost because he buzzed in too early, the whole thing was just so icky that they changed the rule. Perhaps with a few dozen more run-throughs, a lot of stuff like that would have been worked out.
