When Darci is asked to name something a doctor might remove from a person she responds with… a gerbil. Her face when she realizes what she said is priceless.
2. Loins and Lawns
Steve Harvey is utterly baffled by this woman’s accent. Is it loin or lawn? No wonder he’s confused!

Harvey thought Riccini said something she absolutely did not say. After she repeated “yes, blame my parents,” he couldn’t stop laughing.
4. He’s White
When Bill is asked what women think their husband has in common with the Pillsbury Dough Boy, Bill responds with “he’s white.” “That’s the best answer I’ve ever heard,” Harvey says. “I love real answers.”
5. Naked vs Nekkid
Contestant Arvell is asked to give another word for “naked.” He says “nekkid,” and doubles down on his answer. “You can’t possibly be trying to pull that off on national TV,” Harvey says.
6. Something That Gets Passed Around
Harvey is shocked at Chris’ answer to “something that gets passed around.” The best part? He was right!
7. Hiding Phone Numbers
Harvey looks downright confused in this Fast Money round. When asked about something in their homes people always hide, Bill says “phone numbers."
8. Vegas Is Not a State
Harvey asks what state someone would like to move to when they retire. Contestant Luisa says “Vegas." Two big red X’s!
9. Popeye Eats What?
When asked what Popeye’s favorite food is, contest Eve had an unusual answer. “Chicken!” she said, doing a little dance. Facepalm emoji, anyone?
10. Describe Grant Denyer
Poor Grant Denyer probably regrets having a whole round dedicated to him! When asked what word best describes him, contestant Leanne says “short.” Ouch!
11. No Noisy Insects
Contestant Anna was asked to name just one noisy insect. Just one! Her answer? “Pass.” Not even one insect, Anna?
12. So Hot
When asked “What’s the highest priority for you when you’re looking for a partner?” contestant Jessica says “HOT!” Grant Deyner almost falls over.
13. Buzzer Fails
Poor contestant Jake wasn’t behind on his answers—but he did flub somewhere else. Jake managed to somehow miss not once, but twice—one of the biggest buzzers on game show TV. Oops.
14. Who’s the Host?
Terrell Suggs gets a little too aggressive with the buzzer, leading Harvey to say, “When you leave, we still have to use this!” When Suggs tells him what the question was, Harvey gets ruffled. “I’m the host!”
15. Chicken Badge
Poor Jono—you can see the exact moment he lost his train of thought. When asked to name a badge, the contestant said “chicken badge.”
16. Texas, Really?
When asked about an object designed by a man because it’s uncomfortable yet sexy, contestant Ryan says, “Texas.” Harvey gives him several chances to confirm his answer and he just doubles down. The host’s face says it all.
17. Who’s Funnier Than Steve?
When asked “Name a TV host who’s almost as funny as Steve Harvey,” the host does not seem amused by some of the answers. For some he seems almost insulted!
