By the end of the first round of the Fast Money Bonus portion of Family Feud, the Biglane family was only 12 points away from winning $20,000.
Host Steve Harvey during the show suggested that the prize was all but theirs and that the biggest party in Natchez was not far away.
“If ya’ll win this money, it’s going to be the biggest watch party ever in the town of Natchez, Mississippi,” Harvey said on the broadcast.
Harvey must have known what he was talking about.
By the end of Thursday night’s episode, a packed Smoot’s Grocery celebrated and cheered wildly when Harvey announced Team Biglane as the winners.
The evening’s celebration was, as Harvey predicted, the biggest watch party in Natchez Thursday night.
Competing on the show were Lauren Biglane Middleton, Rebecca Biglane Black, Presley Taylor Jennings, Joanna Biglane McNeel and Melinda Jet Biglane.
Thursday night was the family’s debut. They will also be featured in episodes on Friday, April 21, and Monday, April 24.
In Natchez, people can tune in to watch it at 6 p.m. on those dates on the following channels:
- Dish Network – Channel 11
- DirecTV – Channel 13
- Sparklight – Channel 32
