Celebrity Family Feud (2015)

This is chronicling the 2015 version of Celebrity Family Feud.

Game format
In this version, the show follows the same format as the current syndicated version as two games are played per-episode and Fast Money is played at the end of both games. Also, the grand prize is $25,000 to the winning celebrity team who gets 200 points or more in the Fast Money round. However, if they fail to reach 200 points, then $10,000 was still awarded to the group's favorite charity. In addition, each runner-up family will receive $5,000 will be given to the charity of their choice.

Face-Off
At the beginning of each round, two members of each family come up to the main podium and play a mini-round for control of the question (dubbed at the "Face-Off"). Harvey announces how many answers are on the board (which are always in order based on popularity) and then reads a survey question as the first player to buzz-in gets to answer. The player to give the number one answer or have his/her answer be higher than the other player's answer won control. In case of a tie (both answers with the same number of people who gave it) the player who answered first won control. If neither player gave an answer on the board, the players at the main podiums get a chance to answer for control. The player that won the "Face-Off" has a decision to either let his/her family play or pass the question to their opponents.

Main Question
The first two questions had it values by worth the number showing. The third question in Harvey's version doubles the point values. After the third question, all the point values would be tripled.

Like the regular version, the first team to reach 300 points won the game. However, if neither team reached 300 after the fourth question then the next question will be played as Sudden Death.

Fast Money
The winning team went on to play the fast money round for big money for their favorite charity. The winning celebrity family chose which two players will play this round. Like the regular version, the first team player had 20 seconds to answer five survey questions as he or she had to give the most popular answer to each survey question. When he/she was done, their answers were then revealed on a different board followed by the number of people who gave them. After all of the answers were revealed and scored, the second player came out and took his/her turn. Again like the regular version, the second player had 25 seconds to answer the same questions but with one exception: he/she cannot duplicate any of the answers previously given by the first player or a double buzzer would start to sound off, at which point Harvey will say "Try Again!". The contestant must give a different answer (the second player would also be charged for similar answers or an answer that fits into the same category as the first player's answer). When the second player was done, then his/her answers were revealed and scored. If the two players reached a goal of 200 points or more in total then the celebrity team's charity wins $25,000. However, if they failed to do that, the winning team's charity would still receive a consolation cash prize of $10,000 (as opposed to earning $5 a point in the regular version).

Trivia
This version alone would be the first time since 1985 that the series has returned on ABC when the original Dawson version in daytime ended its nine-year run on the same network 30 years ago (31 for the "All-Stars" edition in Primetime respectively).

Promos for this version were shown during the game show 500 Questions on the same network. In addition, this version will premiere on the same day (June 21, 2015) as the revival of BattleBots in season 1 as part of "Sunday Funday". In season 2, on June 26, 2016; it will premiere on the same day before the revivals of The $100,000 Pyramid hosted by Michael Strahan and Match Game hosted by Alec Baldwin as part of a Sunday night Summer block called "Sunday Fun & Games".
