Greatest Family Feud's Fast Money comeback
In Family Feud, the final round is a bonus round called Fast Money. The goal is for two people to determine the highest-scoring answers for five surveyed questions and reach at least 200 points. Thus in 1993, when the first contestant only scored 13 points in Fast Money, it looked like a likely loss for the Vontz family.
The questions were:
1) A pest people call exterminators to get rid of
2) A kind of place you find litter
3) What would you find on the moon
4) Something you invest money in
5) Something found in the back of the limousine
The first contestant, Christy, guessed and only got 13 points with the following answers:
1) Mice - 13 points
2) Lawn - 0
3) N/A - 0
4) Bank - 0
5) N/A - 0
Doug would have to score 187 points to win, and he did more by guessing four of the top answers and scoring 197 points:
1) Termites - 41 points
2) Park - 37 points
3) Dust - 17 points (#1 answer was craters/rocks)
4) Mutual Funds - 48 points
5) Bar 54 points
The Contz family won $11,000 in one of the greatest Fast Money comebacks ever.
