Toni Braxton, who used to live in Atlanta, brought her sisters to battle Anthony Andersons family in the first episode of ABCs Celebrity Family Feud hosted by part-time Atlantan Steve Harvey.
Both families are playing for charity. The episodes were shot earlier this month in Los Angeles, although Harvey shoots the regular episodes here in Atlanta. And two of Braxtons sisters still live in Atlanta.
Despite a slow start from Toni, her family lifted her up and even she got a couple of answers right near the end. But credit Towanda and Tamar for getting enough right answers to win Fast Money and raise $25,000 for Lupus LA (since Toni has lupus.)
Sorry to say this but $25,000 seems awfully chintzy for a broadcast network giving out money for charity. Im just sayin. Wheres Donald Trump when you need him? (Oh wait, we know that)
Things got down and dirty quickly from the first question: Name something a n**e magician might pull a rabbit out of.
Anderson: His a**!
Toni was so flummoxed, she didnt have an answer.
His mom Doris then said nuts.
This show is going to h**l, Harvey said. Indeed, that garnered a big fat X.
Later , Anderson said you can be n***d and wear a hat. Ive done it! That was the No. 1 answer.
The Braxtons had a chance to steal but Toni botched it by blurting out foot without getting proper feedback from her sisters. That wasnt on the list. Points went to the Andersons.
Question No. 2 with Tamar vs. Doris: Name something the wife would not like to see the ex-husband buy after the divorce.
Tamar got the No. 1 answer with car.
Trina, who just got divorced, said emphatically, a ring for another woman. That was the No. 2 answer.
Toni uttered, a new woman. Shockingly, this was up there as a mail order bride.
The sisters almost cleared the board with six out of seven answers. Harvey laughed after Trina gave a bad answer (a car seat) and the sisters were not supportive. The tradition: Family Feud members are supposed to clap and say good answer! no matter how terrible the utterance.
Ultimately, Andersons answer motorcyle was rejected. The missing answer was a street w***e.
The Braxtons move ahead 93 to 88.
Question 3: Top 7 answers on the board. To 100 men: Name an animal more well endowed than you?
Trina: Elephant. Amazingly, just 13 people answered that. But it was No. 2 and Trina won after Derricks gorilla was a big fat zero.
Towanda confidently gave the No. 1 answer horse. Tracis giraffe got an X.
Toni tried hippo and received zip. Tamar said dog, and her sisters were skeptical. It came in No. 3 and Tamar was vindicated. What the world is coming to? Traci said.
Trinas bull came in No. 6. Towanda opted for walrus. It has the biggest p***s. I looked it up! But it didnt make the cut.
Anderson went for donkey and they won the points. The missing answers: whale and lion.
The Andersons had a lead. But the last round typically can win the day.
Triple points: Name a job just because they arent good looking enough.
Towandas answer: Model was No. 1.
Traci goes for stripper. That was No. 4.
Toni (uh oh) picks news anchor. Surprise! No. 3.
Tamar says actress for the win. And the Braxtons clear the board!
Tamar and Towanda opt for fast money. Towanda was up first.
The fast money questions to 100 women.
After how dates do you start wearing sweats? Towandas answer: 6 (0)
What is something people look for on Craigs List? A car (26)
Name a pie that starts with the letter P. (37)
Name something a guy likes to do while watching the Super Bowl? Eat food. (36)
A place where you find an aisle. A kitchen. (0)
Three good answers, two bad ones. Not bad. 99 points.
Tamar ended up with two okay answers, no answer on one and two great answers to seal the victory.
That would be four dates (11 points. Best answer was 10), a job on Craigs list (10), nothing for pie, drinking beer for the Super Bowl (44) and the seal-the-deal answer of supermarket for aisle (57).
