It's so obvious that during Fast Money they get questions with high scoring answers because there are only 3 or less they could be.
"Name something that you surf" "Name a material a grocery bag is made out of" "Fill in the blank: Pie in the ___"
I mean come on. And then there's the "Name a color in a traffic light"
Is this because it's for charity so they are making it easier to win?

I would guess yes. They are wanting them to win big.

I think the goal is to be the fastest at answering, not have the best answer, isn't it?

That's what I was thinking, too.
Sometimes the "easy" high scoring questions backfire for the second person IF there isn't another obvious answer. First person gets 50+ points second person next to nothing because all the rest of answers are convoluted.
But in these (celebrity) rounds there seems to be questions with 1-3 obvious answers, like you said. Easier win.
But for charity, it's all good.

No. Although you only have a given amount of time, you have to get the best and highest scoring answers to win. 200 points or more. ETA Even in the family against family round, if you answer first the other person can steal with a better scoring answer, if there is one.

Yeah, the traffic light one was quite ridiculous.

With the pyramid, match, and feud, are there really so few celebrities that they all seem to show up on all the same shows? Although I have to hand it to Pete Wentz on match-he was terrible at the game, gave away the outcome by mistake, but genuinely seemed to be having a good time. Is he a dork in real life? (I mean that as a compliment, BTW.)

I can't stand Steve Harvey, so I only watched once and that was with Kellie Pickler. She was such a "dip", but an adorable dip. Steve let her answer a question after the time was up to give them a chance to win - and they did.

It's kind of a bummer to watch a family get all the way to the end and then NOT win money for their charity...

Oh I know! They do the same thing on Jeopardy. It cracks me up......
"Regular people Jeopardy".... 18th Century Astro-Hungarian Cabinet Makers, 5th Century French Royalty, Foods of Outer Mongolia.....
"Celebrity Jeopardy"....Numbers Between 1 and 4.....Colours in a Rainbow....Shapes...
But it's for charity so it's all good. I'd just love to see them play the "regular" people version just once tho. lol

Didn't Sugar Ray's daughter look completely bored by the whole thing? I actually though Snopp's family looked pretty normal. He was cracking me up.

I've only seen the celebrity version twice. I was amazed at how crappy their answers were.
