>>the theme was composed by Bob Cobert which was once used as background music for the NBC series Supertrain.
Can someone specify which version of the show this refers to? It should be mentioned in the section for that version, not the intro of the article. (I'm assuming because of supertrain that it's the NBC version, unless USA used the same theme and it's both of them. But if someone can clarify, I've removed it from the article for now, since it's definately not referring to the current version. TheHYPO 18:50, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
"or if they build a clue that isn't a valid English question" I haven't seen every episode yet, but I've seen people try to keep going after one perosn doesn't continue the sentence they hope but they continue, however, most of the time I've seen this, one of them just has a brain freeze by not going in question form and passes - I haven't seen someone buzzed out for not using sentances or heard that as a rule from the host - has it occured in recent episodes? It would explain things like them always using questions, but I haven't seen a buzzer for that rule yet. TheHYPO 03:53, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Am I calculating incorrectly? I get $18,300 as the maximum possible winnings.
1st round: 5 x $100 = $500
Bonus: $100
2nd round: 5 x $200 = $1000
Bonus: $200
3rd round: 5 x $300 = $1500
Bonus: $300
Betting round: 5 x $500 = $2500
This totals $6100 and tripling this is $18,300.
Feel free to revert if I'm wrong. VectorPosse 07:42, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Re: season 2 - Just as in season 1, Unless they have changed the rule about the team who's behind at the time starting the final round, team B needs to win $200 bucks somewhere in the first rounds in order for them to bet $100 to start the last round, lose it, and still have $100 and not end the game right there. Then team A can win $500 bets for each word in that round.

Maybe we should just put this back in the article. Otherwise, this will be a continual problem. VectorPosse 16:58, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
The article says that "both teams keep their money". Are you sure about that? The host really seems to imply that only the winners get to keep their money. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.134.218.36 ( talk) 07:34, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Image:S1bonus.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Chain Reaction (game show). Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
Sourcecheck}}
).
This message was posted before February 2018.
After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than
regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors
have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the
RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{
source check}}
(last update: 18 January 2022).
