Oops! ‘Family Feud’ Player Stuns Steve Harvey with a Marriage Confession That Actually Paid Off
“Family Feud” is known for its hilarious gaffes and host Steve Harvey’s priceless reactions, but one recent episode delivered a moment so shocking, it left the veteran comedian utterly speechless. A contestant named Lisa took a big risk by seemingly throwing her marriage under the bus in pursuit of points, and believe it or not, it worked!
The drama unfolded when Harvey posed the survey question: “If your fairy godmother granted you a single wish, you’d tell her you want to go back to the moment right before you did what?” Lisa was quick on the buzzer, blurting out, “Got married.”
The studio audience gasped, and Harvey immediately locked onto Lisa with his signature “death stare.” Sensing the gravity of her answer, Lisa quickly tried to backtrack, stammering, “No, I love my husband!” But Harvey wasn’t having it, retorting, “That ain’t what your answer says!”
Despite the awkward tension, Lisa’s bold (and perhaps brutally honest) answer proved to be a winner. To everyone’s surprise, “Got married” appeared at the very top of the board, earning her team a huge lead and the chance to play on.
The surprising revelations didn’t stop there. When the turn passed to Melanie, she offered another eyebrow-raising response: “Met my ex.”
Harvey, ever the instigator, pressed her on it, leading to a clarification that she wished to avoid meeting him entirely. This prompted another stern glance from Harvey towards Lisa, adding to the comedic back-and-forth.
While Melanie’s “ex” answer didn’t resonate with the survey, another contestant, Anna, found success with a more common regret. She suggested, “A lot of women would like to go back before they had kids,” a sentiment that, fortunately for her team, was popular with the survey respondents, adding more points to their tally.
However, the Shaw family’s luck eventually ran out. After a few more guesses, including “Right before high school” and “Started working,” the game circled back to Lisa. This time, her answer, “Quit the job,” didn’t hit the mark, resulting in the family’s third and final strike.
The Villere family then had a chance to steal the round. Denise offered a poignant response, “Before my loved one passed away.”
While deeply emotional, it wasn’t on the board, securing the round’s victory for the Shaw family despite their earlier marital confession moment. It just goes to show, on “Family Feud,” you never know what answers — or marital regrets — will make it to the top!
