Although questions on "Family Feud" can be absurd, contestants at least need to make some sense to match responses from a survey. However, Uriah from the Ulutoa family came up with stupid answers, which prompted the host, Steve Harvey, to roast him. When Uriah said the 'judges' on "Jeopardy!" were too harsh, Harvey couldn't help subtly mocking the player.
The question Harvey asked was, "Name a TV show where you see a judge being too hard on someone." Tavita hit the buzzer first and came up with the top answer, "Judge Judy," within a second. The team automatically won the question, and they decided to play.
While Tavita did exceptionally well, his teammates had some shocking answers in store for Harvey. After the face-off, the turn went straight to Uriah. The contestant seemed not to understand the question, as he answered with "Jeopardy!" without much thought. When Harvey gave him a hard look, and the room erupted in laughter, it apparently dawned on the player that he had given a stupid answer, as he said, "Wait," with his hand on his head.
Harvey then went on to mock the player, elaborating on just how stupid the answer was. He said, "Yeah, 'Jeopardy!' You know, he's like, when you answer the question, you could just say, 'Yeah, that's right.'" As everyone looked to the board, expectedly, the answer wasn't up there, and the team got their first strike.
Other teammates of Uriah didn't seem to do well either. It seemed like Tavita's winning answer set them on the wrong path, as the next player, Tiana, answered the question with "Law & Order, which wasn't on the board. With this, the family was close to getting their third strike and losing both the round and the game. It was now all up to Sika to come up with a winning answer and save the game.
"We got two strikes. Come on, family. This is going too fast. The other family can steal," Harvey warned the player before reading the question to him. However, Sika remained on the same track and answered the question with "Judge Steve. Unfortunately for the Ulutoa family, the response wasn't on the board, and the team struck out, almost within a minute into the round.
The turn then went to the other side, to the Beeson family. Harvey explained the situation to them. "Here's the deal. I got 3 answers left on the board. If you give me any one of those answers, your family steals, your family wins this game. If it's not there, the other family gets a chance to play 'Sudden Death,'" Harvey said before reading the question.
After a brief discussion, the team lead, Lisa, answered with "American Idol," which luckily for them was on the board. Harvey then revealed the remaining answers on the board, which included "America's Got Talent" and "The Voice."
