Faith & Friends

Four

One of TV’s longest-running game shows, Family Feud is a combination of quick thinking, intense competition and hilarious bloopers. Two family teams square off to see who can best guess the most popular answers to unusual questions. When he’s not needling contestants, host Steve Harvey turns to the giant game board, repeats their often-incongruous answers, and calls out: “Survey says…!” Audiences wait expectantly for the guesses to be revealed as correct or rejected with a noisy strike.

Unlike other quiz shows that are based on straight facts, Family Feud demands a deeper understanding of human nature. Winning relies on a contestant’s instinctual grasp of public thinking: What would other people say? Does my thinking align with the majority? Should I trust my gut? It’s more difficult than it looks. Especially when you’re under pressure.

At Salvationist magazine, we’ve got good instincts, but we’re not mind readers. Rather than trying to guess what our readers are thinking, we’re asking you directly: What do you like about our publication? What can we improve? What types of stories should we print in our pages? Turn to page 31 of this issue or visit salvationist.ca/survey to offer your thoughts. We’re offering two prizes to be selected randomly for those who participate. Survey says…?
