Some Yellowknifers are in Toronto this long weekend, competing on Family Feud Canada\u2019s eighth season \u2014 although it\u2019ll be some time before Team Chanthalangsy’s appearance makes it to screens. <\/p>\n
The team is led by captain Sousanh Chanthalangsy and includes her husband Alex Bornilla and her cousin Linda Khounkhong, all from Yellowknife, along with cousins Somkid Khoukhong and Bounmee Chantharangsri from Manitoba.<\/p>\n
Yellowknife residents may recognize Chanthalangsy and her family, as they run the popular food local truck One of a Thai.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am feeling excited, nervous, like my stomach has been in knots for the past few days,\u201d Sousanh Chanthalangsy said, before the weekend. \u201cI\u2019m less nervous because I\u2019m with my family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking to CBC News along with Chanthalangsy, Linda Khounkhong said she was looking forward to the experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is such a positive thing that we can take away, and it\u2019s a lasting memory that we\u2019ll carry with us,\u201d Linda said.<\/p>\n
Chanthalangsy said a Family Feud producer reached out to her on Instagram and asked if her family would want to apply to be on the show.<\/p>\n
Chanthalangsy said she had “no hesitation.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore I even applied, I just made sure I asked my family members \u2026 everyone\u2019s like, \u2018Yes, let’s go!\u2019” Chanthalangsy said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like we have this competitive nature,\u201d Linda said. \u201cWe\u2019re confident that we\u2019re just going to go and crush it.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the show, two families compete to guess popular answers to survey questions asked of 100 people. The grand prize for winning the final “Fast Money” round is $10,000, and a family can defend their title for up to three games, meaning they could come home with up to $30,000 in prize money.<\/p>\n
The cousins said the group was practicing answering questions quickly, and working on their strategy as they prepared to tape their appearance in Toronto.<\/p>\n
\u201cBasically we watch the show, and we\u2019ll tap the counter and be like, \u2018yes, that\u2019s the answer,\u2019\u201d Linda said. \u201cJust hoping that whatever comes to our mind will be the top answer.\u201d<\/p>\n
The team discussed strategy as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it\u2019s easy, we\u2019re going to play, but if it is something that we know is going to be really hard, we\u2019re going to pass,\u201d Chanthalangsy said.<\/p>\n
Linda said she hoped the team could put any differences aside during the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully there won\u2019t be pushback between, especially, the sisters \u2026 well with my sister,\u201d she said. \u201cWe can butt heads a little bit \u2026 but that\u2019s part of the ‘feud’!\u201d<\/p>\n
Chanthalangsy said Family Feud Canada is a show her family watches \u201call the time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is like a dream come true for us to be on this game show,\u201d Chanthalangsy said.<\/p>\n
Their episode will air in the fall, when season eight of Family Feud Canada premieres on CBC Television and CBC Gem.<\/p>\n
