May 8, 2014— -- The Sass family only needed 18 points.

Those 18 points would have secured the relatives $20,000 on "Family Feud." Their episode aired Tuesday.

The show's "Fast Money" round involves two teammates each answering five rapid-fire questions. Tim Sass went first, obtaining 182 of the 200 points needed between the teammates.

Anna Sass was next. When host Steve Harvey told her how well Tim had done, she gasped and cheered.

"I need 18," she told Harvey. "That's all I need."

Yep. Eighteen. The questions began.

On a scale of 1 to 10, what chance do you have of dating a girl who's a '10?'

Four, she said.

Name a kind of place where people keep checking their watch.

Airport [repeating Tim's answer] ... Restaurant.

Name a noisy insect.

She shook her head. "Pass."

Name something a person's belly does.

Throws up.

A married couple might be deeply in ...

Love [a repeat answer] ... Marriage.

After the buzzer sounded, she shook her head.

"That was bad," she told Harvey.

Harvey revealed to totals attached to her answers. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero.

The crowd gasped, and Anna held back tears as her relatives consoled her.

"I'm sorry folks," Harvey said, apologizing to the crowd.
