- Steve Harvey called out for refusing Family Feud contestant’s answer, walking away: ‘Steve was wrong for that’ (mp.newsbreakapp.com)
Game show host Steve Harvey made a bold prediction on a recent episode of Family Feud. He was so sure a contestant’s answer was wrong, he didn’t even wait for the judges.
The Hall family was playing against the McClain family. The question was who a wife might be referring to if she said, “A little bird told me my husband is cheating.”
After a few correct answers from the Hall family, contestant Victoria gave her response: “The husband himself fessing up.”
Harvey immediately walked across the stage to the opposing family, not even acknowledging Victoria’s answer. He then told the judges to mark a strike.
Harvey’s gamble paid off. Victoria’s answer wasn’t on the board, giving the Hall family their third strike.
The McClains then got a chance to steal. Their captain correctly guessed a remaining answer, winning the game.
Some viewers online reacted to Harvey’s confident move. One commented that Harvey was wrong to dismiss Victoria so quickly.
Another noted that this wasn’t the first time Harvey had walked away from both families after an answer. A third viewer joked that contestants know they’re wrong when Harvey starts walking to the other side.
The top answers for the question included “friend,” “nosy neighbor,” and “the mistress.” Less popular answers included “her sister,” “a private investigator,” and even “her parrot.”
