Heidi and Ryan Fowler are part of a family team that took part in a taping of Family Feud Canada in February, and the episode is now slated to be shown on Thursday, Oct. 8 at 2 p.m. on CBC-TV and CBC Gem.
The Fowlers joined other members of Heidi’s family in Toronto on Feb. 9 and 10, at the CBC Broadcasting Centre to tape the episode.
The family created an audition video and submitted it, and were later informed they were selected to take part in the nationally-broadcast game show. The family includes Heidi’s mom, Loreen Husband, her brother Benji and sister Maria.
Heidi said the auditions were really fun, starting with a dance-off to see which teams would play first.
“Each family that was there had a chance to play a round of the Family Feud game against another family. The producers of the show were really interested in our introductions and finding out about each family,” said Heidi.
The CBC game show is hosted by actor and stand-up comedian Gerry Dee, based on the international format of the long-running game show.
