'I will officially be known as the Cat Man.' Why this man gave such a wonderfully weird answer on 'Feud'

There are few things better than a truly bad answer on Family Feud Canada (we're looking at you, Eve Dubois!), but some of those bad answers are so deeply weird, you can't help but wonder: How on earth did this come out of their mouth? And will they ever live it down?

When Hakeem Bambata had his turn at the podium, the stakes could not have been higher. The game had come down to Sudden Death. Whoever guessed the top answer would move on to play for $10,000. 

And then came the question: Name something you eat frozen. 

Hakeem slammed the buzzer first and then blurted out his answer: Cat. 

Sudden Death: Name something you eat frozen

You heard that right. He answered "cat."

We know some of you had the same reaction as his wife.

And what makes for good TV definitely makes for a lifetime of roasting from your family.

"Everyone is like 'you are the weakest link that's why they put you at the end.' My mom, siblings, my in-laws, like everyone teased me," says Hakeem. "I am happy to say that I can now laugh it off now." 

And he is resigned to the fact that a new nickname is inevitable. "To be honest, I think after this episode, I will officially be known as the 'Cat Man'."

Why did Hakeem say cat?

It was a classic case of nerves. Or maybe "cat's got your tongue?" Sorry.

Fresh off of the podium question "Name an animal that is used to describe someone who is sneaky," Hakeem's thoughts going into Sudden Death were still stuck on animal answers.

Knowing how much pressure there is to answer first, Hakeem focused on hitting the buzzer — but he neglected to listen to Gerry Dee's question. "Since I zoned out...I thought it was smart to think along those lines and I thought of 'cat'," says Cat Man Hakeem.

Despite the outcome, Hakeem says his family had an amazing experience being on the show. 

What a good sport!
