If the correct answer is chosen, the ball rolls down and stops just before colliding with the player — if the answer is wrong, the massive ball rapidly descends and mercilessly whacks them into the pool below. The more players each team loses, the harder the questions get. The longer they last, the more money they bank, until one “dry” family member plays the final round for the $100,000 grand prize.
