Sheryl Thompson and her family have always joked about going on a show like Family Feud Canada.
The thing is, sheB次元官网网址檚 not the kind of person to not follow through on an idea like that.
B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 the type of person that likes to walk my talk,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淎nd so I say, you know what? TimeB次元官网网址檚 up, letB次元官网网址檚 do this.B次元官网网址�
So she and her family (Julie Bronson, Robyn Ross, Iris Rayburn and Marian Atkinson) put together an audition tape and sent it off.
B次元官网网址淲e all wore our cedar bark hats,B次元官网网址� Thompson said. B次元官网网址淚t showed Campbell River, it showed our Nation, the canoes. It was really good.B次元官网网址�
Somebody at CBC must have enjoyed it, because after a few interviews and Zoom meetings, they asked Thompson if she and the family could come to Toronto for filming in September.
B次元官网网址淭o myself, IB次元官网网址檓 going B次元官网网址榟olyB次元官网网址次元官网网址� But to my team, yeah, I said, B次元官网网址榶eah, letB次元官网网址檚 do that,B次元官网网址橞次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淔amily Feud paid for all our expenses except for our food, they flew us from Campbell River to Toronto, gave us a beautiful hotel right downtown and and then we went to Family Feud.B次元官网网址�
The episode, which aired Dec. 5, has the Roberts family, who are members of the We Wai Kum First Nation, facing off against the Wilson family from Whitby, Ontario. For those who donB次元官网网址檛 want a spoiler, the episode is available to watch . While the RobertsB次元官网网址� didnB次元官网网址檛 prevail against the Wilsons, they sure did have a good time.
B次元官网网址淲hen IB次元官网网址檓 nervous I get really animated,B次元官网网址� Thompson said. B次元官网网址淚 just say something really crazy which makes people laugh and itB次元官网网址檚 kind of like letting them know youB次元官网网址檙e the same as me. You know, weB次元官网网址檙e not different B次元官网网址� ThatB次元官网网址檚 just how we roll in our family. We like to laugh a lot and I think thatB次元官网网址檚 the point of the show too.B次元官网网址�
The Roberts family also stood out because they wore their traditional Cedar hats and regalia on the show, which was ThompsonB次元官网网址檚 idea.
B次元官网网址淚 wanted to do something different,B次元官网网址� she said.
Though they did not win, they did get $200 each from Family Feud Canada. They decided that since they were already in Toronto they would do some things that they always wanted to do like watch a Blue Jays game and visit Niagara Falls.
ThompsonB次元官网网址檚 favourite part of the experience was coming home to people in the community who were excited about the local exposure on TV.
B次元官网网址淭hat, and joking around with Gerry Dee,B次元官网网址� Thompson said.
B次元官网网址淚 encourage anybody to give it a try,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淵eah think of something you need about your family and and go for because itB次元官网网址檚 quite easy.B次元官网网址�
