Family Feud

One of my favorite shows. It's mindless but it can be fun trying to guess what the average polled group of Americans would answer to various questions, some of which are leading with double entendres. And of course, the contestants can be hilariously clueless. Like a recent one who gave an answer that was already given, and then kept assuring Harvey, "It's up there, I know it is!"...

But what is it with Steve Harvey and the cars? All last year when he pointed at the automotive prize for five day winners, it would be "A brand new Ford Fusion" or other Ford product, menationed by name.

But this year the Fords are gone, and instead a perfectly acceptable Jeep Renegade. OK, granted the Renegade is not the most attractive ride, but hell it IS a Jeep. They are not necessarily supposed to be good looking.

So I am guessing that Family Feud had a deal with Ford and part of that deal was to announce the brand and the model several times in each show. Maybe Fiat Chrysler cheapened out, agreed to provide a low end model but didn't sweeten the deal as much as Ford had. Just guessing, mind you. I wouldn't think that Harvey has a love for Fords and a hate for Jeeps. Or does he?

But that was the John O'Hurley version. I liked the celebrity lookalike appearances - and it turned out that Dolly Parton and Marilyn Monroe were the smartest - and George Bush was hopeless.
