At the beginning of the round, two family members face off to see which family will gain control of that particular question. Traditionally, they greet each other with a handshake before the question is read. Whoever provides the more popular answer in the survey has the control of the question. If neither player gives a valid answer, the next member of each family gets a chance to answer with control again going to the family giving the most popular answer. If both answers are worth the same number of points, control goes to the player that buzzed in first.
