Think of it as “Feud 2.0” if you like, because the new season of America’s favorite family game show is bursting with big changes, and the Finch Family of Mesa, AZ is going to be part of the action. Bigger cash prizes and a brand new car are just two of reasons to tune into this season’s FAMILY FEUD. Mesa’s own Finch Family will face off against the Freedman Family of Los Angeles, CA on the exciting new season, and they will man their buzzers beginning on Monday, October 26. This exciting new season of the classic game airs Monday-Friday at 1:00 p.m. on KTVK (Channel 3).

The Finch Family – which includes Taffee, a photographer; cousin Heidi, a nursing student at Gateway Community College; cousin Tawni, a loving wife and mom; cousin McKenzi, who always has a good joke; and cousin Ramsey, a labor and delivery nurse – will be aiming for top prize money of $150,000, plus a brand new car, when they appear in America’s favorite family game show, taped before a live studio audience in Hollywood.

“My cousins and I try to stay in touch by taking a fun trip together each year and this time we decided to try and get on a game show,” said Taffee. “I sent out a text message to everyone, and the first four that replied are here on the team to play The Feud.”

“The Finch Family is here for a great bonding experience,” said host John O’Hurley. “This will be a perfect chance for them to share the story with the rest of the family.”

Will Mesa’s Finch Family win enough to take home a great prize on The Feud? We’re not saying, but viewers can find out by tuning in beginning Monday, October 26.

The Feud is hosted by the ultra-suave John O’Hurley (“Seinfeld,” “Spamalot”), whose razor-sharp wit has made him one of the busiest men in show business. Each weekday, on the all-new variation of The Feud, O’Hurley will guide the audience through the exciting new changes that make the show such a modern classic. First up is the lightning-fast Bullseye Round, where the families have an opportunity to stash away up to $15,000 from the very first buzzer. With the extra money up for grabs the families now have the opportunity to win an increased prize of up to $30,000 in cold hard cash at the end of the Fast Money Round. In addition to the bigger payout per day, each family that wins for five days in a row will drive home in a stylish new car. Add this to the brand-new family profiles where viewers can learn more about their favorite families and an updated set featuring modern living rooms and fans of The Feud are in for a whole new experience with America’s Favorite Family Game Show.
