'Family Feud' host Steve Harvey struggles to make sense of answer that player said for no reason

The host was stunned upon hearing the answer and had to ask the contestant about her logic behind it.

"Family Feud" contestants are known for absurd answers that leave Steve Harvey with a deadpan expression. In most cases, the host hits back with a witty take, but sometimes even Harvey is left puzzled. That was the case when a contestant simply blurted out the first thing that came to her mind in response to a question. The answer didn't even have any connection to the question, and the contestant had no idea why she said what she did.

Harvey's question was, “Tell me why you think your house is haunted.” A contestant named Vince was the first to hit the buzzer, and he said, “Stuff keeps shutting.” That was the number three answer on the board. After him, a player named Denver said, “Weird sounds.” That was the number one answer.

His family, the Stonechecks, then decided to play the game further. Next to answer was a woman named Shannon, and she had the most obvious answer. She said, “Ghosts,” and it was unsurprisingly up on the board. The younger Denver from the Stonechecks was up next, and he said, “Stuff is moving around.”

That answer was correct, and now, it was Tracy’s turn to answer. Completely out of the blue, the player said, “Kangaroos.” A surprised Harvey asked her to repeat, and the contestant said the same thing. It was not one of the right answers, but the host was surprised by it and wanted to understand the reason behind the answer.

Tracy said that she had lost her mind. “No, I mean, I thought there was something to that,” a perplexed Harvey asked. “No, it just came out,” the contestant said. “Oh, you couldn’t think of anything else,” the host responded, before adding “I thought it meant something…kangaroos like hop in the walls, hop out of the walls… You were really talking about a kangaroo. Wow.” That was the second strike, and the third one came shortly after, when Denver said, “Somebody died there,” and it was also not on the board.

After three strikes, the competing family, Creech, had the chance to steal the game. A woman named Caitlin was supposed to answer, and she said that her house could be haunted because it was old. Sadly for her, it was not up on the board, and the Stonechecks eventually won the round despite putting up a poor show.
