Steve Harvey Left Speechless by “Family Feud” Contestant’s Unconventional Answer
“Family Feud” host Steve Harvey is known for his quick wit and hilarious reactions, but a recent episode saw him truly stunned by a contestant’s answer regarding weight loss. Bobbie, the eldest member of the returning champion Bingham family, proposed a rather unique method for shedding fat that left Harvey at a loss for words.
The moment unfolded during a face-off between the Bingham family and the challenger Sarsour family. Harvey presented the survey question: “I wish I could use a straw to suck the fat right out of my what?” Sharon, from the Bingham team, quickly buzzed in with the top answer, “Stomach,” earning praise from the host.
The Bingham family chose to play the question, with subsequent answers including “Behind” and “Thighs,” adding points to their score. However, a younger family member’s guess of “Arms” wasn’t on the board, giving them their first strike.
With only one answer remaining and one strike against them, the pressure was on Bobbie, the family matriarch. After hearing the question, she confidently offered “Bosom.”
While her teammates cheered her on, Harvey’s reaction was one of pure disbelief. He whispered to the audience, “Don’t do that,” before emphatically exclaiming, “That ain’t fat!”
The survey agreed with Harvey, as “Bosom” was not on the board, resulting in the Bingham family’s second strike.
The round then fell to Sharon, who attempted to save her family with the answer “Back fat.” Harvey remained unconvinced, and the three red Xs appeared, signifying a strikeout for the Binghams. This handed the Sarsour family an opportunity to steal the points and win the game.
Harvey explained the high stakes to the Sarsour team: “I got one answer left, one answer only. You give me that one answer, your family steals, your family wins this game, but if it’s not there, the other family wins the game.”
After a brief discussion, team leader Emad offered “Face.” Despite Harvey finding the answer logical, it too was not on the board, securing the Bingham family’s second consecutive victory.
This memorable moment adds to the long list of hilarious and unexpected answers that make “Family Feud” a beloved staple of American television.
