'Family Feud' contestants and Steve Harvey stunned as their city showed up among the answers

The funniest part of it all was that the shocked contestants were actually from New Jersey.

"Family Feud" contestants are known to come up with absurd responses, and while Steve Harvey roasts them and moves on, even he is shocked sometimes. He was caught off guard in an earlier episode when contestants were shocked about their city, New Jersey, showing up among the answers.

Harvey had asked, “If they pick one state to represent all of the United States, which one should it be?” Lindsey from the Younger family was first to her buzzer, and she said, “New York.” That was the number one answer on the board, and the family decided to play out the round. Next up was a woman named Paige.

After Harvey asked her the question, she said, “California.” Unsurprisingly, that was up on the board, as well. Up next was Josh, and he said, “Florida,” which was also one of the right answers. Next up was a contestant named Brian, and he believed Texas to be one of the answers. Thankfully, it was also up there on the board. It was a great start for the Younger family, but things wouldn’t remain that way.

Next up to answer was a woman named Shelly, and she answered, “Washington.” Unfortunately, that was not on the board. Lindsey’s turn came around again, and this time, she said, “Illinois, because of Chicago.” That was not on the board either. Paige was next, and she said, “Georgia,” which was also not up there on the board. That was the third strike, and this gave the Fingal family the chance to steal the game.

When it was their turn to answer, a contestant named Marcia said, “Hawaii.” Unfortunately, that was not on the board either, and the family lost the game. When the remaining correct answers were being revealed, one of them turned out to be New Jersey, which came as a massive surprise to the Fingals, as they were from there. “Oh no,” Marcia screamed. “Y’all know that ain’t true,” Harvey said.

Questions regarding American cities or states can sometimes invoke a funny reaction on the show, as was the case in a different episode. The question asked in this one was, “Tell me a US city that starts with B.” One of the contestants, named Tiffini, answered, “Butlington.” The host probably did not know that this city existed and made fun of it.

“Where’s Burlington at?” he asked the contestant. After learning that it was in Kansas, the host whispered to the camera, “No, it’s not. I’ve been there.” Not surprisingly, for most, that answer was not up on the board.
