Take it from the Dinsdales, this is how your family will get noticed by 'Family Feud Canada'
One of Canada’s quirkiest families shares their ‘Feud’ adventure to winning more than $20,000.
Did someone say "juicy butts?" Yes, turns out that was an actual answer given by Sarah from the Dinsdale family — and it was on the Family Feud Canada board!
This family's electric personalities and go-getter attitude are just a couple of the reasons why they caught producers' eyes and rode a three-day winning streak in Season 2!

—@FamilyFeudCaWe caught up with the Dinsdales to hear about what their Feud adventure was really like.
Happy birthday, let's play the Feud!
The "Dinsdale Dream Team" consisted of siblings Steph, Johanna and Sarah, mama-moose Amanda and dad Chris.
The whole idea to apply for Family Feud Canada came from their dad as a birthday gift to their mom.
"We all lived in different places all over Ontario, so for [Amanda's] birthday we came together to make our [application] tape. Just for something we could all do together to give my mum a laugh," said team captain Steph. "Little did we know it would result in the adventure of a lifetime and over $20,000!"
"When Steph told us we made it onto the show my mind was blown," said Sarah. "We practiced Family Feud with the card game and app version! All the practice paid off."
Fresh Prince of Dinsdale
Probably the most memorable thing about the Dinsdale family happened way before they even hit centre stage. The family's rendition of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song for their audition was definitely one for the books, and one the producers won't forget!
The Fresh Prince rap idea stemmed from both Sarah and Steph spending years swapping out lyrics to the song for camp activities, so it came out naturally for them.
Their audition held the energy that we all wish we could carry with us on a daily basis.
Style on 100!
It's a shame that our contestants don't get any points for their outfits, because the Dinsdale family's style is definitely one for the books!
Steph said that planning the outfits was one of their most favourite parts of prepping for the big day.
"I created mood boards and pitches for my family," said Steph. "The denim on denim was our favourite as we all have quite different fashion styles, so we really got to customize our looks to fit our personalities while still looking dapper, confident and matching!"
On their final day, the family came decked out in ugly sweaters.
"The 'ugly' sweaters at the end was another funny choice we made as we joked around saying, 'We didn't think we'd make it this far, so this is just our regular clothing,'" said Steph. "While we repped the ugliest sweaters we could find from the thrift stores."
What are you waiting for?
Are you or a family member still on the fence about applying for Family Feud Canada? Take it from Chris — you don't want to miss out on "a once-in-a-lifetime" moment.
"[It's] a moment in time that we'll look on fondly for many years to come," said Chris. "And [it's] an amazing silver lining against the bleak background of the pandemic. I would tell any family to go for it and enjoy the process."
