Page "The Newlywed Game" Paragraph 12

Originally ( in the first year of the first ABC version ), the husbands went off-stage first while the wives had to predict what their husbands would say.

The first four questions in this round were worth 5 points apiece.

Then the wives went off-stage as the husbands were asked four 10-point questions and a 35-point bonus question, which usually decided the game.

The maximum possible score was 95 points.
