Mesa cousins fight for cash on 'Family Feud'

Daily News-Sun

Following in the footsteps of the Hatfields and the McCoys - two clans infamous for the feud between them - the Finch family of Mesa appeared on the game show "Family Feud."

They were there to duke it out with the Freedman family of Los Angeles. And we won't know whether the Finch family won the fight - and more than $100,000 and a new car - until Monday. The show airs that day at 1 p.m. on KTVK (Channel 3), according to game show officials.

Cousins appearing on the show include Taffee Eagar, McKenzi Greer, Tawni DeWitt, Heidi Marble and Ramsey Finch.

We do know that they posed for pictures with the silver-haired game show host John O'Hurley.

"The cousins had a great time on the show," "Family Feud" spokeswoman Courtney Smith.

She said the family members were under a "gag order" of sorts, and couldn't let the cat out of the bag about the results of their trip to California several months ago.

Smith said the family of remarkably resembling cousins plan an annual trip every year, as a way to keep in touch.

"This year they decided to try to win big on 'The Feud,'" she said.

"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," Taffee said in a press release. "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," O'Hurley said. "This will be a perfect chance for them to share the story with the rest of the family."

The Finch family - which includes Taffee, a photographer; Heidi, a nursing student at Gateway Community College; Tawni, a wife and mom; McKenzi, whose family members said always has a good joke; and Ramsey, a labor and delivery nurse - will be aiming for top the prize of $150,000, plus a new car, according to game show officials.

The show was taped before a live audience in Hollywood.
