In an unforgettable moment on “Family Feud,” host Steve Harvey was left astounded by a contestant’s response that went beyond the ordinary. Known for his composure amidst the myriad of unexpected answers on the show, Steve encountered a contestant named Don who truly set a new standard for surprises.
The incident unfolded during the “Fast Money” round of a recent “Family Feud” episode. Don, in a high-stakes bid to secure a $20,000 prize for his family, was faced with a series of questions. When presented with the prompt, “Name the same old gift husbands to buy their wives year after year,” Don’s response was “Diamonds.” This answer not only caught Steve off guard but also prompted an immediate confirmation from Don’s wife, who attested to receiving diamonds from her husband annually.
The revelation prompted a lively reaction from the studio audience and another family member, who playfully remarked on how spoiled Don’s wife was due to his generous gifting tradition. Steve, seizing the moment for comedic effect, expressed his astonishment to the audience, humorously exclaiming about Don’s lavish yearly gifts and playfully reprimanding him with a light-hearted jest, using his cue card for emphasis.
The situation took an even more surprising turn when the survey results revealed that Don’s answer of “Diamonds” resonated with 16 other participants, propelling his family’s score to a winning total of 206 points and clinching the coveted $20,000 prize.
The exchange between Steve and Don became a highlight of the show, sparking lively discussions and reactions on social media platforms like Instagram, where “Family Feud” shared a snippet of the memorable moment. Fans of the show lauded Don as the “diamond man” and humorously suggested that he had inadvertently set a new benchmark for husbands everywhere.
