2. Family Feud Contestant’s Inappropriate Gerbil Answer Everyone’s entitled to five minutes of fame, though for one Family Feud contestant, it’s unlikely this is the way she wanted to earn hers. In February, when told, ‘Name something a doctor pulls out of a person,’ her answer of ‘Gerbil’ unsurprisingly didn’t make the cut.

She removed the enhancements and kept to her natural figure.
