User:Daniel Benfield/Chain Reaction 2006 Episode Guide

While the 2000s Chain Reaction restored the mental agility that was Instant Reactionas little more than a joke, Game Show News Net (GSNN) did recap pretty much the whole run, so I figured I might as well list 'em here. :)

Season 1 (2006)
Originally, Instant Reaction doubled the front-game payout after seven answers and tripled it after ten. Beginning on September 12, this was shortened to five and seven respectively.
