IT'S TIME TO PLAY....
Odd, wonky quasi-disco hick music started to blast out into the Nexus as an elaborate stage with four tables, a large score board, and shiny flashing lights (of course) around Whitnam Sampler-style boards and other decor appears in the relative middle of the Nexus.
Over the music a voice can be heard.
"IT'S TIME TO PLAY THEEEEEEE FAMILY FEUD - THE SPECIAL NEXUS EDITION! NOW LET'S MEET OUR FOUR FAMILIES IN TODAY'S SHOW!"
"FIRST UP IS THE SHORT BITCHES AND SWELL GUY FAMILY, WHO MAY BE SMALL BUT HAVE LARGE MOUTHS! AND IN THAT SECOND NICHE OVER THERE IS THE FUNNY PAPERS - THEY MAY BE AMUSING, BUT THEY WILL KICK BUTTS, AND RIGHT OVER THERE IS THOSE LOVABLE LUNATICS FROM THE BLOOD GULCH, AND FINALLY - TOO AWESOME FOR CATEGORY IS THE TOO AWESOME FAMILY!"
With that, an appropriate amount of chairs appeared.
"AND THEY WILL BE PLAYING FOR FABULOUS (MAYBE) PRIZES IN THE FAMILY FEUUUUUUUD! WITH YOUR HOST... RIIIIIIIICHARD DAWSOOOOOOON!"
With that, a passably attractive man in a pale gray tweed suit enters the nexus in a mockery of a do-si-do dance to the corny music until it dies down.
"Thank you ladies, gentlemen, robots and animals! We'll be having a very special game today folks, instead of two families we have four, and the prizes are bigger then ever. But before we begin, let me explain how this game is played. We have people polled to come up with the most popular answers." The man gestures to the large board behind him. "And it's up to our families to try to guess what the survey says is the most popular. Now the family that reaches up to 600 points will go on to the Fast Money round."

And with each 'round' - first will be the control question - or which team gets to answer first. A member from each team is brought up and asked the survey question - the person who comes up with the highest answer will have their team have a first crack at completing it. They have three strikes before it's switched to the second highest, who gets three strikes as well, etc.
Each new Survey question will be started by a new comment by this account, who will also update the game with current scores. Audience may comment as long as they're not cutting into the actualy Q/A threads.
"Now are you ready?!"
ROUND ONE IS STARTING
(heckling and cheering is encouraged on both audience and participants part)
