Prior to the game, each couple participating in that day's competition will be asked to predict how many points it will earn in the game. They will write that number down and place it in an envelope marked with their names (the “Prediction Envelope”), and give it to KTLA staff.
Two quarter-finalists, who are not together as a couple, and chosen by KTLA staff, will sit on one side of a partition. The remaining two quarter-finalists will sit on the other side of the partition. Each quarter-finalist will be given a writing implement and something to write on. KTLA staff will then ask all four quarter-finalists appearing on the Show that day to answer three questions. Quarter-finalists will write their answers down and then display them for KTLA staff to see.

If two quarter-finalists who are together as a couple give different answers, they will not be awarded any points. In the event of a dispute about whether a pair of answers merits the awarding of points, KTLA staff, in its discretion, shall decide whether or not points should be awarded.

The value “Z” is the result of subtracting “Y” from “X”. The couple whose “Z” value is the lowest shall be declared a semi-finalist. If a tie persists in the game after these practices, KTLA staff will ask a representative of one quarter-finalist couple to declare “heads” or “tails”. KTLA staff will then toss a coin in the air, catch it, and place it on a surface. If the side of the coin that is visible matches the side declared by the quarter-finalist who was asked, that quarter-finalist’s couple will be declared a semi- finalist.
