How this season is filed
Richard Dawson kisses contestants, baits families, and turns survey answers into a national reflex. Fast Money is the sugar rush; the host is the brand. The original Feud as appointment flirting, before later emcees sanded the edges into a cleaner, safer smile for syndication.
