As you can see from the picture, GSN has decided to replace former host of Bingo America Patrick Duffy with former Host of Family Feud (2002-2006), Richard Karn. It is not known why Duffy was replaced, but HollwoodJunket.com says that their were some "Rough Tapings" with Duffy. What that means, we have no clue. But the host is not the only thing changing. Here is what else will get a change.
An Audience game will be placed into the show. Audience members will now wear shirts with a number and letter corresponding to a Bingo ball. If their number is called, they become a team member with the contestant that got the ball. For each round, the winning team gets $25.00.
The Bonus Round has also been changed. The winning contestant now plays a Bingo Board, pick one letter at a time, and each letter has a different money amount. On the board is money, but their is also 20 "Wrecking Balls". If the contestant gets through the whole board without finding a wrecking ball, they win $100,000!. If they find one of those Balls though, they lose everything.
The only other change is Crystal Wallasch has been replaced by a woman named Diane.
The bonus round this season actually sound like fun. Last season's Bonus round was kind of ehh. Pick a number and we see what you win. Not that great. At least with this one, their is some risk.
As for Duffy, I am kind of glad he is gone. He just never seemed to "Get It". Karn is in no way my favorite Feud host, but this could actually be the show for him. We will see in October.
