In its own fun way, the format is one where learning and lateral thinking are liabilities.

Since its first incarnation in 1977, Family Feud has differed from those other quiz shows that have a pesky bias towards actual knowledge. Ask any dictator, warlord or military strongman they will tell you that no mealy mouthed non-binding United Nations resolution can compete with the inviolability of Family Feud’s ‘‘bah-bow’’ sound effect. Perhaps Family Feud could be a template for settling disputes worldwide (“OK, Vladimir, let’s see if ‘Repossessing Crimea’ is on the board”). While losers in sectarian grudges overseas are left territorially and politically displaced, runners-up in Australia get a $1000 clothing voucher. 'Normally the tyres are only at their peak performance for a window of one or two laps, but today the track became faster and faster.'On my second lap, I set a time good enough for pole at that stage and then backed off to let the tyres cool down.'I pressed on again and was able to improve by half a second.You know you are in the lucky country when the biggest home-grown tribal conflict shown on TV is between the Wales and the Urquharts over the deeply divisive question: ‘‘What is an affectionate name you might call your partner?’’ Family Feud is back on Ten and it is refreshing to tune into a commercial network at 6pm and see two clans only pretend to hate each other’s guts. 'It's always satisfying to qualify on pole, but to do it at Bathurst is very special,' Hill said.'The track kept improving as the session progressed, which was different from what we've experienced at all the other rounds,' Hill said. Hill is already mapping out a plan to create his own legacy on the Supercars scene with a host of opportunities on his radar.Hill could use the Porsche Carrera Cup, Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge, Dunlop Super2 Series or the Kumho V8 Touring Car Series as his launching pad to the grand stage.Įach series is considered a stepping stone to the Supercars championship but they require a huge financial investment, with Hill already on the lookout for new sponsors.Ĭracking the big time would be a huge moment for Hill, who has been dreaming of Supercars success in Bathurst since he first got behind the wheel.
