(gentle music) (upbeat music) - Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to "Family Feud".

The show where, I'm sorry?

Apologies, I thought I was standing in for Steve Harvey.

This is "Hi-Q", the Game show where knowledge rules and I, as always, I'm your host, Olivia Manning.

Tonight we have contestants from Callaway County and Sesser-Valier.

Did I get it right?

Awesome.

From Callaway County, we have Ezra, Fowler, Connor, and Aubrey.

And from Sesser-Valier we have Emerie, Ashlyn, Claire, and Sedona.

For those of you who do not know how the rules work, let me explain it to you real quick.

I have in my hand a series of toss up questions that either team can answer for the chance to win 10 points.

The team that gets that question correct then proceeds to a bonus round in which only they can answer the question for 20 points.

But if they get it wrong, the other team gets the option to steal for 10 bonus points.

There will also be media questions and the lightning rounds and audio questions and all of that sort of thing, but we will cross all of those bridges when we get to them.

One last important rule before we move on is the dreaded interruption rule.

If while I am presenting a tossup question or bonus question, you interrupt me, if you get it right, no harm, no foul.

We move on with our day and you get your points.

If you get it wrong, the other team gets five points extra and the chance to answer that question while you get nothing.

So either be right or don't interrupt me.
