Family Feud is an Australian game show based on the American show of the same name. It began airing on Network Ten on 14 July 2014, in which the premiere was simulcast on Ten's digital channels Eleven and One. The show is hosted by Grant Denyer, who previously hosted SlideShow and Million Dollar Minute for the Seven Network. This revival is the fourth Australian version, and the third network to screen the game show, the last incarnation being Bert's Family Feud hosted by Bert Newton in 2006.Family Feud currently airs from Sundays to Fridays at 6:00 pm and has remained simulcast on Network Ten, Eleven and One since it premiered. It was also announced that Ten will produce a celebrity edition for 2016, titled All Star Family Feud.
Representatives of the family are posed questions that have already been answered by 100 people. An answer is considered correct if it is one of the concealed answers on the game board, or judged to be equivalent. More points are given for answers that have been given by more people in the survey (one point per person). Answers must have been given by at least two of the 100 people in order to be included on the board. There are four members on each team.
Examples of questions might be "Name a famous George", "Tell me a popular family holiday spot", "Name something you do at school", or "Name a slang name for policemen". At least two people among the survey respondents must give an answer for it to appear as one of the possibilities. The participants are not asked questions about what is true or how things really are. Instead, they are asked questions about what other people think is true. As such, a perfectly logical answer may be considered incorrect because it failed to make the survey (e.g.: for the question about Georges, George Jones was a popular country singer, but if his name was not given by at least two people it would be considered wrong).
To start each round of the main game, two opposing family members "face-off" to see which family will gain control of that particular question. Traditionally, the contestants greet each other with a handshake before the question is read. Whoever guesses the more popular answer in the survey has the option to play the question or pass it to the other family
