You read right, Embassy Row changed the “Chain Reaction” bonus again. Here’s the rundown.

*It’s now 60 seconds.
*If you get five right, you win $5,000. They did raise the money a bit, but you read right: just five to win.
*If you don’t get them all, you get $100 for each one right. You win up to $400 or $5,000.
*Once you press the buzzer to answer, time stops for a few seconds.
*Time resumes once you answer correct, incorrectly, or wait too long.

So what do you guys think? Personally, I think it’s a tad bit more broken. I’m happy the money went up a bit, but it’s so easy to win now it’s not even funny. There’s really no excuse not to win $5,000. I’d like to think at some point Embassy Row would go “OK, this bonus isn’t working. We need to make something else.” I respect trying to stay with the classic and I respect what Embassy Row does, but it’s evident this bonus is not working. No changes are being made to the main game at this point. We should have more information from a contestant this season later this week.
