Laverne Cox has won fans over in the very first all-trans team in Celebrity Family Feud. The star teamed up with her chosen family, which included TS Madison, Joslyn De Freece, and Mila Jam. They faced off against Diplo and his family in a recently aired episode.
The Episode was a Hit with Fans
The episode was a real hit with fans. Unlike the normal version of the hit show , Celebrity Family Feud sees stars and their families compete to win money for a charitable cause of their choice. Cox posted a video from the set saying that they are going to have some fun, and certainly look good doing it. The teams also had a bit of fun at the expense of Steve Harvey, the host of the show. According to both teams, fun was had the entire time, with some moments leaving Harvey speechless. Unfortunately for Cox, her team lost, and the Diplo family was victorious. With that said, they all seemed to have loved the experience, and made history by just appearing on the show.
The Resurgence of Family Feud
Family Feud is undergoing a bit of a resurgence right now, with a 27.7% surge in demand. There was also a 712-spot increase in the show’s market ranking, showing that the show has a good foothold in television ratings. Steve Harvey is hosting the 2025-2026 season, with the original show being hosted by Richard Dawson and then Ray Combs. Other show hosts include Louie Anderson, John O’Hurley, and Richard Karn. The Celebrity Family Feud version of the show is currently on ABC and is very popular with fans. You also have All-Star Family Fortunes, which is an alternative, celebrity version of the British Family Fortunes show.
There have also been a number of games released, based on the popular show. The digital Family Feud game features game modes that include couch vs. couch, live show modes, classic, and party battles. There is even a live casino UK game based on the popular show. Family Feud Live from Las Vegas is a live-streamed casino game that is hosted from the MGM Resort. The interactive game adapts the TV show by using survey data, with the wheel featuring outcomes and bonus rounds. Titles like this help to showcase the popularity of the game show, as well as help it to appeal to modern audiences in new formats.
All in all, Joslyn De Freece and Miss Peppermint helped to add a lot of entertainment to the episode, and it also helped to make history for the show as well . As the first trans team to compete on the show, it served as a powerful moment of trans representation. It helped to give the trans community more visibility, and it also showcased unity in a whole new way. Cox decided to appear with her chosen family, rather than her own family, which again is unusual for the show, but at the same time, has helped to pave the way for a very powerful episode.
