On July 14, 1986, the CBS version of Card Sharks added a new type of question to the show, where ten people in the studio audience, who were supposedly polled before they appeared on the air, participated in a week of episodes. Most times, an audience polling group would appear for five shows, though there were some rare weeks where they would appear on fewer than five episodes. On average, two audience polling questions were used per show (though some rare occasions there would be three), not including version 2.0 of the car game. If a contestant nailed one of these questions, they would win a $100 bonus, and the group would split $100 as well.
By August 25, 1986, the first episode of Young People's Week II, the audience polling group would share a common theme or occupation (i.e. single women, firefighters, etc.).
Beginning on July 4, 1988, the week's audience polling group would participate in the car game when the Range Board version was introduced.
Here is a list of audience polling groups who have appeared during the weeks as of July 14, 1986: Bolded and italicized text indicates Young People's Weeks.
