How Much Did Each Audience Member Win?

I know it's not very clear... When they add $1000 to winning couples' section do each of those audience members get total amount or do they split it among the group?

I read somewhere there was as much as 122 in each rooting section.


Basil: Don't mention the war. I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it.

I've been watching buzzr lately and this show. Never watched it when it originally aired. I can't believe all the people in the winning sections have to share the money. They get nothing big at all.

They were the absolute best and funniest. I am so sorry that Bobby died so young it would have been nice to see how they weathered the years.

I have been wondering that myself. I could never figure it out. It was a cheap show Bert Convy would act like adding 1000. Dollars was a big deal it was so cheap if couples tied they had to split the 1000. Dollars. What could all of those people have gotten? A dollar three eighty?

I was thinking about the absurdity of splitting $1K amongst the audience. But then I remembered that game shows often taped more than one episode a day. Some game shows, I think, even taped a week's worth of shows in two days.

So I wondered if the cheering section got to sit in on multiple tapings and win a combination of whatever the celebs earned that day, not just for the one episode. That makes more sense to me, because like everyone said, if they split up $100-$1K for the audience, you were looking at the cheering section getting $1-$10 per person. And why would the audience be so damned happy that their celebrity won $1K if it meant them getting $10 at the most?
