Yes, but you cannot, grammatically use the word 'for' to end a sentence. THAT'S why Missy and Glenn couldn't understand the phrasing of the question; they were grammatically illiterate.
The feud question was so hard to understand that Richard almost had a hard time to explain the question to the second kid. Whoever wrote up that question didn't think that the contenstents couldn't understand what they were asking.
yea, it was a badly worded question (particularly for fast money when you can't afford to lose a single second).. . the fact that BOTH kids got stuck there proved it.
I'm surprised it was as long as it was, they're usually that short, because they only have 20 or 25 seconds to answer, and it takes time reading the question, so they try to shorten it.
1:06 Richard: The longest you've ever watched television non-stop...four hours. Which would account for some of the other answers we got. Survey said... Girl: WUT
yes, after the first year or so richard began occasionally 'bending' the rules (giving elderly/younger contestants a few extra seconds to think in the family rounds, letting them answer after the buzzer in fast money, etc).. . add the fact that this was a celebrity episode (which always means they're playing for charity) and there was no way he was going to send these kids back to their charities empty handed because of a badly worded question..
The question implies that some keys are lost more often then others. I would have wrote the question to read "Name something that requires a key to use"
Name something to which you often loose your key? -- I often loose my key to a mugger -- I often loose my key to a poker game -- I often loose my key to understanding the question -- I often loose my key to... really dumb way to phrase a question.
msolec2000 Hey, why you being such a stickler..I was happy with calling the whole thing off... IF I HEAR JUST ONE MORE thing about my typo, I will remove the oo's and put 'u' in its place. Don't tempt me, I am mad enough to do it!
This is Celebrity Family Feud. The girl is Missy Gold, from "Growing Pains" sitcom, and the guy is from the show "One Day At A Time". Check It Out! Ciao!!!
I took me several times myself to even understand what Richard was saying about the key question but thats coming from a viewer I didnt have Richard right be side me saying it to my ear. The way it was worded is what was confusing
Funny things happen when the pressure is on. They had 15 and 20 seconds respectively to answer 5 questions (time doesn't stop for the host to read each question either) and they knew that everything was going to be broadcast on television. It's an easy question at home, where you have nothing to lose or gain, but it's a different story when you're actually on the spot.
They expect the contestants to come up with answers in seconds while they have months to make the questions and they couldn't even do that right. Name something to which you lose your key? Huh?
The question was posed in the passive voice. It takes our brain a while to understand it. That's why we learn in school to use the active voice in sentences instead.
This is one of those instances where you wonder if they'd worded the "Key" question more clearly, where it didn't throw the mind for a loop, the contestants would've had an easier time answering it on the spot.
"Something to which you often lose a key." The question is confusing because he's asking for the identity of the object that the key serves. Eg., you lose a key to a car, to a house, etc. But the question sounds like it means: what causes the loss, as in "I lost the football game to the other team."
I think Dawson & Combs were by far the best hosts of this show....Dawson so smooth & warm. Combs so funny & exciting. Both men endearing in their own way. The hosts since don't really seem to measure up for some reason.
John O'Hurley fit the show well. Louie, great comedian, but Feud wasn't the job for him. Karn always did corny jokes, but corny don't cut it on Family Feud, good host otherwise. As for Steve...replace him already, Fremantle! Agreed about Richard and Ray.
He was more about giving people money than anything else, rumor has it when they were looking for a daytime host to replace Sajak on Wheel of Fortune, he turned it down because he wanted the Bankrupt space off the wheel!
yea, this was the golden age of game shows and 'feud' was #1.. . so he had the clout to bend production to his will for the families.. . the fading popularity of game shows over the years (relatively speaking) and tv in general, is probably the why you don't see this anymore (and most likely never will again).. . no single host has the clout that dawson did back in the day.
It is a poorly worded question. "Name something you would lose your keys to." Um, an alligator? A raccoon? an ex girlfriend? I lost my keys to a bad poker hand. It makes you think of what caused you to lose your keys, not what the keys go to.
@@claritycentral yea and the girl is missy gold (tracey gold's sister).. . this was obviously some celebrity episode for charity, which is no doubt why richard was DETERMINED to drag a 'key' answer out of them if it took all g0dd@m3d day!🧐
Even most prescriptive grammar texts agree that this is not a serious error, and that a sentence restructured to fit the rule often sounds stilted and contrived in spoken English ("There are some things up with which I will not put"). The question isn't worded incorrectly, but the structure is unlike what usually occurs in spoken language (descriptive grammar), and it's not unthinkable that people under pressure would find it confusing.
Richard would tend to ignore the clock if a celebrity ran out of time in Fast Money, to ensure their charity had a good chance of winning as much $$$ as possible.
"Ending a sentence in a preposition is something up with which I will not put." -Attributed to Winston Churchill Grammatically, the way the question was phrased is correct, but yeah...probably need to sacrifice grammar for understandability there.
Something to which you often lose your key. The first thing that comes to mind is what thing might cause you to lose your key. For example , you could say i lost my key to the gutters. Meaning it fell into the gutters. If we change it a bit, it's more clear why one would think that. As a question like "Someone who you often lose to" is much more common. So our brains automatically try to answer a question we don't know using something that familiar to us.
yea i've noticed in these celebrity episodes the fast money questions were frequently selected to create an easier path to 200 (often with only 2 or 3 obvious answers to a given question).. . the celebs were always playing for charity and could only win a maximum of 5 games (whereas a family that was good at the game could theoretically blow way past that), so they stacked the deck in favor of the teams taking some money back to their charities, so i'm honestly not mad about it..
The girl is Missy Gold from BENSON with Robert Guillaume, and James Noble. James Noble played the part of the Governor of California and he was her father in the show. There was also Inga Swenson who played the housekeeper (she and Benson hated each other). She had a german accent.
That really is a terrible question. It doesn't really make sense. "Something to which you lose your key"? That could have easily been avoided with "Something for which you need a key". Their phrasing was incredibly confusing. The "lose your key" thing isn't even a significant part of the question, so then you're like, what?
"Something" refers to the object that the key unlocks, not the object in question; "to which" implies ownership between the locked object and the key which locks and unlocks said object. There is nothing about what happens to the object. The object is barely even relevant; what matters is the object's key, and losing said key, not losing the object.
Name a type of key that you often lose; Name the purpose for a key that you often lose ... Name something to which you often lose your key or something for which you often lose your key would indeed be the reason why the key is lost, not the purpose.
I don't blame the kids at all. Something to which you often lose your key wouldn't be a door. I have worked in an apartment building where people sometimes 'left' their keys in the door, but they didn't realize it was gone. If they did and didn't look in the door, they'd have bigger issues.
It isn't poorly worded in the slightest. It may be confusing, but its the most proper way to say that. They were trying to avoid ending with a preposition which is something most people don't think about.
"something to which you often lose your key." still makes no sense, and to mr. dawson's credit he did give them a fair chance at it and they won the money.
It really was a horribly worded question. It’s easily understood when written but hearing it is confusing, especially when typical questions are “what month has the best weather?”
No, it was Dawson being Dawson, Harvey wouldn't have had them give them the last ones, nor stopped the clock, that idiot would start laughing, run the clock out, and they'd lose. He's a horrible host; those who love him are just idiots.
"Name something you need a key for."
Simple, to the point, and nothing about losing it! Wow!
Well stated
padlock. people lose house and car keys more
Um I don't understand the question. 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, but you cannot, grammatically use the word 'for' to end a sentence. THAT'S why Missy and Glenn couldn't understand the phrasing of the question; they were grammatically illiterate.

Yup. I too stalled on that question. 🤓
yea, it was a badly worded question (particularly for fast money when you can't afford to lose a single second).. . the fact that BOTH kids got stuck there proved it.
'A type of key you often lose.' would have been a better question.
No, because then we would have a blooper of them saying "a metal key".
True
There you go! THAT'S how the question should've been worded!
I'm surprised it was as long as it was, they're usually that short, because they only have 20 or 25 seconds to answer, and it takes time reading the question, so they try to shorten it.
The writer of that question ended up on Match Game.
LOVE Richard's sarcasm.
the wording of the question was totally confusing , most people would have gotten thrown off by it too
I lost my keys just hearing that damn question.
A poorly worded question. "A key you sometimes lose," would make better sense.
i understand easily
That seems odd to me. All my keys are on the same ring. So if I lose one I must lose them all equally.
Good point.
Amy Schumer and Robbie Hart pulled it off!
"Name a kind of key that you often lose" might be clearer.
"Name a key that is often lost?"
They should have just asked "something to which you often lose your key to" and they would have understood it better.
too long, this is the final, you only get 20 or 25 seconds depending on the turn, needs to be shorter like "A key you often lose".
Kidding you are.
Could you repeat the question?

It was a poorly written question.

Name a key you often lose would be better
especially since it's timed, and it takes time to read the question, so you want to shorten it as much as possible anyway.
I’d have to say Dawson helped both contestants to give decent answers and win.

it is lose keys not loose keys... you have you keys lost. :FAIL
ivan jursdotter Perhaps the keychain was loose and that's why they lost it ;)
The wording make it sound like something you would lose your key in.
that's what it sounded like to me!
"Something to which you often lose your keys to?"
"My sister Richard, she's always stealing my keys"
Made it sound to me like a way you would lose your key, e.g. dropping it.

Name a type of key you might lose.
Boom. There's your question.

Wow. How hard was it for the writer to simply put "Name a key you often lose"? Short and much more straight-forward.
It’s a bad question because “losing” has nothing to do with it.
“Name something you use a key for.”
There was something oddly wrong with the question if both players had difficultly understanding it.
Something to which you often lose your key.
The first thing that comes to mind is what thing might cause you to lose your key.
For example , you could say i lost my key to the gutters. Meaning it fell into the gutters.

The question overestimates the intelligence of most people.
He should have said "Something you lose the key to?"
I wish they would still show all the survey results even if the person wins. I always get curious to know what they are.
It really is kinda oddly said. It sounds like you lose your keys to something, like losing a card game pot to an opponent.

There was also Inga Swenson who played the housekeeper (she and Benson hated each other). She had a german accent.
The word "key" is the direct object in the sentence and is at the end of the question. Should be near the beginning.
I'd have answered 'theft'. The question was worded badly. A good construction would have been "You often lose your keys to your what?"

Languages without declension can't handle that question right. In Latin, Greek, Russian or Sanskrit, there's no difficulty.
