Needing only 18 points after another family scored 182 points to win $20,000, the contestant scored 0!
Even compared to painful game show moments of late, Tuesday’s “Family Feud” was a doozy. The Sass family, of Stockton, California, needed a mere 18 points to score 200 in the final round and secure $20,000. That pretty much meant that all Anna Sass had to do was utter just one semi-popular answer among the five poll questions that host Steve Harvey asked her to complete.
Since we’re writing about this, you might already have guessed the outcome. But it doesn’t make the clip above any less cringeworthy.

Nakamura would easily score 200 pts himself.
I once had an opponent down a queen and a rook with no compensation whatsoever. I ended up blundering into a force mate. I imagine the woman felt the way I did.
That’s not exactly a bad performance. She had 3 excellent answers which, unfortunately, have been given by the first player. That ate up her time. It’s not always easy to think of the second-best response. I’ve seen this happen at least twice before during Richard Dawson’s time.
