Speaking of stupid people, my mom and her three sisters and her sister-in -law were on FF in 1978 or thereabouts. Nice flight to LA on a 747, first class treatment all the way . Sweet. Now,my aunt (who claims to be a smart person) buzzed in on this following question: Name something a minister does? To which my bright and dearly stupid aunt replied: Bar Mitzvah. Richard Dawson about fell out of his size three shoes! Triple bonus answer. My mom and her sibs lose control of the match and the rest is history.
Now understand this was the nighttime version where they used to dole out 25000 for the winning family. They tape like 5 shows a day and my mom's episode was the last of that week(5th show being on Friday) The previous four days families were all losers in the lightning round,so they gave the other family that smacked my mom's down some of the easiest questions to answer: Name a breed of dog, crap like that.
Having said this much I can safely tell you that my mom came back from LaLa land with a 17.50 check and a years supply of Dawn dish detergent. Oh and a silver platter of some kind. To this day my aunt still will not talk about it!
Peace
