The way John o'hurley treats the women on the show. He must be sexually deprived as he is always asking the women to hug him tightly. This is discussng to me. Please have this stopped. It spoils the show. Thank you.

Inappropriate questions. "What kind of fruit or vegetable could you use in the kitchen or the bedroom?" Too many sexually charged questions, responses and facial/body responses. This is Family Feud. Clean it up. Also find it discriminatory against other races. 50% or more black. What gives. Contestants should represent the population. How angry would folks be if other shows didn't represent the population base.

Done with it. Now on to send my complaints to your sponsors.

I am not surprised that white people do not like the show now. Steve is not a good host. He said himself that he is new and is still learning the rules. There is also staff informing him if an answer can be accepted or not so its not really his fault. I watch sometimes, and my husband and I see many mistakes that are made. But not just in the favor of blacks but whites too. Steve is just being himself. I think the white guy that hosted who kissed everyone in the mouth was disgusting; most of the families were white, but my family still watched. I think we as humans always think about race instead of just watching a darn tv show. They have brought many families back on the show because they weren't given a fair shot (they announced it). I Personally don't like the sexual questions, but they were being asked before Steve started (answers come from surveys not the show). That's just what the world has come to. You worry about the perversity of the show for your children, but your comments are just as offensive. I thought why is there always white against black too, but white people would just DIE if there were two black families. White people, just because your family is white and your community is white does not mean everything should be white. There are other races and other communities. It is just a game. And the woman who thinks this should be on BET, no, then they would all be black. You don't own the show. Wow, we cant even watch the same tv show. I don't get how you can be that caught up in race to automatically dislike something because you see black people- Enough that you would "complain"! How can you read your comment and not think, "this is how I feel, but how stupid it sounds reading it."

Steve Harvey often ask guess what they do for living. I don't think that's the best question. A better question would be for him to ask them to tell him something about themselves. In the event they are employed doing something for living that is embarrassing or something that makes them less than proud or they are unemployed and don't necessarily want to share that with the world they can avoid feeling uncomfortable.

Steve Harvey does favor black family's. He jokes with blacks and seems to enjoy them more than white family's. I don't watch this anymore.

I've been watching family feud for many years and lately we just can't believe the ridiculous questions ..let alone the answers...one answer the other day was "massive dump" ..to get ready to wear a bikini..and this show is called"Family feud"..and I totally agree with the other reviews..Mr Harvey certainly favours the black family's and let's their answers slide...well we've given up watching your show Steve! Bye!

I totally agree that there seems like there has to always be a black family on with a white family and Steve Harvey does treat them differently. Also, a man of his position and money should know how to speak proper English. He begins every show by saying that the families want to win "theyselves" a lot of money. Theyselves isn't even a word. And I can no longer watch this show with the kids because the answers they post on the board are just plain dirty. Why can't they be phrased in a better way like they used to be. It sometimes borders on porn!

Queen of Caps, turn your caps lock off. Everything on TV now is sexually oriented and grotesque and none of it is suitable for young children. Kardashians? We call them the Lardassians, or interchangeably the Kartrashians. Are any of you being held hostage and being forced against your will to watch this smut, I doubt it. How about you all just turn the TV off, sell the stupid thing and buy some books. Your brain and your children will thank you.

THE SHOW IS RIDICULOUS NOW, AND IS NO LONGER FAMILY ORIENTED! IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE FOR MY CHILDREN AND I TO WATCH TOGETHER ANYMORE. IT USED TO BE APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES AND NOW IT'S SEXUALLY EXPLICIT WHICH IS INAPPROPRIATE, AND CORRUPT. IT WAS ONCE A BRAIN GAME THAT WAS SUITABLE FOR YOUNGER VEIWERS TO WATCH. AND NOW IT'S STRICTLY XXX RATED ADULT FAMILY GAME SHOW. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REAL FAMILY FEUD? THIS SHOW IS CORRUPT! IT'S SAD TO SAY BUT I NO LONGER ALLOW MYSELF OR CHILDREN TO WATCH FAMILY FEUD ANYMORE. IT'S SHAMEFUL! AND WHAT ARE WE TEACHING OUR CHILDREN OF THE FUTURE? IT'S TIME TO AWAKEN PEOPLE, & LEAVE IGNORANCE BEHIND US! HAPPY NEW YEAR'S TO ALL! "2014"

I myself am African American I will say, some of your post are racist and disappointing. especially the comment about not wanting a Mexican President, and African American only making up 12% of the population not 50%. However, I have watched Family Feud for years. I have noticed more diversity on the show. I think because the host is black more blacks are applying to be on the show..it's that simple. Steve needs to be fair to all families. Steve is old school...you just feel happy seeing someone look like you (just how many of your comments reflect the same point..you want to see more white people like you)
Family Feud ratings are at a all time high since Steve. Yes, I have noticed the questions have been more sexual. I agree, this could be tone down. Maybe the producers are trying to reach a mature demographic. I'm not sure of the reasoning. On a positive note, I have seen more Asians, and Hispanics on the show. I just watched an episode with an African American Muslim family. The show needed more diversity! However, I would like to see more family focused questions...but if the Nelson ratings show a older demographic is watching..I don't see a problem. My favorite host are Steve Harvey and Ray Combs hands down.

Ok I'm BLACK and I agree steve harvey treats the black contestants way better than the white contestants. I don't like it... I can tell he favors the black families. Which is not bad but he should treat everyone the same. Ever notice how he never asks the white family's about their occupation or hobbies... I just don't like it and I don't like him. He's not even funny and yes.. It's a bit explicit. I want a new host like Cedric the entertainer or Tom Brady... Please get rid of Steve!

Recently watching episodes with Steve Harvey. The answers that are on the board are a bit embarrassing like slang. This is a family show and I dont think answers on board were provided exactly from surveys such as turdets or sexually explicit words. I dont know if anyone else has noticed. I am going to try and contact higher ups and just find out whats going on

OK..i was watching older episodes of family feud that I had recorded with Steve Harvey as the host. I have never had any problem with Steve at all in the past. I always enjoyed his humor and entertainment value. Well, after watching all of these episode of family feud with almost every show being one white and one black family I sort of felt that he was bending the rules a bit for the black families. I'm not racist by any means. So I came here to my pc and googled these words to see if any one else felt the same way. ( steve harvey treats black better than whites on family feud ) wow..what a crap load of people agree with me. Not that I really give crap because I don't but just sharing what i thought and wondered if I was being bias or other people felt the same. As it turns out I'm not bias.

Hello,
The FAMILY FEUD is supposed to be a family show but the questions asked by Steve Harvey are too sexually explicit. I alway loved watching the show with our children and now our grandchildren but lately we cannot sit and watch it together since you just don't know what to expect.
I suggest that the show gets back to being oriented where people of all ages can enjoy it.
Thank you
Concerned grandparent.

I have stopped watching what was once my favorite game show, it is a one sided game, going in favor of blacks since harvey took over, i've heard wrong answers given but if they are black it's o. k., you can just see the joy and glee on his face when they win, that commercial where the black woman keeps yelling and I quote, we're going to play steve we're going to play steve, eleven times has tooo stop, I hope someone can read all this letters of people complaining, these has to stop, family feud has gone to the blacks

This is the most racist show. I no longer watch it. Steve Harvey is always cracking on the white familys. Almost every episode is a black family against a white family. Come on now. If people don't see what I'm talking about that's crazy. Dancing around and gospal singing. People don't need to hear that. I want to know what's up with blacks verses whites. They made there point damn we have a black president now. Now if there was a white host actting the way he did. The blacks would be on the phone with the NAACP so fast. Its ###.

The constant applause the director of the current show encourages only adds noise to the show but not excitement. I find that and asking the contestants to shout "20 THOUSAND DOLLARS" in the final round very annoying to the point I am about ready to stop watching. Also they could help Steve (the best host since Richard Karn) with some suggestions about what to say so he doesn't end up sounding like a machine. There are other ways to open the show besides "We have another good one for you" or calling a contestant up could be said in other ways besides "Give me Blank".

Love the show, I think steve is so funny, at first I thought he was nicer to black family's, you see a hint of extra happiness at times when they win, however this is the way of the world, he can't help it, (example: if your child was playing who would you want to win)?
(there his "brothers" lol. I hate all the black bull... at 54 I have decided, since america has been "invaded" by "mexicans", iranians, russians etc. we need to like someone besides us american whites, if I have to choose I like the blacks, they marry whites, and some of them don't care! (I play family feud on face book, real fun but what a scam! so everything has something bad. i'm just thankful we don't have a mexican president, that will end it all!

episole 113 Krueger vs Riley The Krueger were cheated Jeff gave answer of French fries and steve said he couldn't say that. Then the Riley family was able to steal it with the same answer. Why was it not ok for one the ok tor the other family. Then they didn't give the mom Diana a chance to answer her question.Think they need to review the episole. It makes people like me not want to watch this show. I like it when it's fair.

I've been watching the show for years. I will say I enjoy the show. I'm to the point where this show should be put on BET as every episode "MUST include a black family. I ask why, Do more black families apply or do more black families get accepted to play. Either way with Steve H at the helm or production staff picking who is to play each show.. I would say that some fishy business is going on. U watch and do your own math. Show has a BET feeling to it as well as shows it BIG TIME.

He lets the black people cheat. Lets them give answers after the buzzer. The buzzer time is extended for black people. I've seen the buzzer go off right after his question for white people. His jokes are not funny at all... no talent. He gets mid evil if someone says something he don't like. Steve Harvey is a blatant racist on Family Feud. He needs to be replaced with someone who has talent and fair to all races of people.

Reverse Discrimination is Wrong Too

Tonight (1/17/12) was outrageous. Steve Harvey, who always favors the African American families over the white family, allowed an African American contestant in the final round to get the $20, 000 to retract an answer and then gave him unlimited time (the fellow took about 4 additional outside of the seconds) to come up with an answer. That answer won the family the $20, 000. Without being given the extra time, the chance to retract the bad response and to come up with a second one, they would not have won. I don't begrudge the family, who played a OK game otherwise, but what was allowed was against the rules. I've never seen any other family been permitted to retract an answer and come up with another one OUTSIDE of the 20 second time period. Earlier in the game, Harvey also encouraged another from the African American family to retract an answer and come up with another, which he did. That one was wrong and didn't help the family, but the one that got them the money was simply unfair since other families have not been given special treatment to win. HARVEY IS A RACIST ### and the producers are as well for allowing it. Imagine if the races had been reversed...
