Simpson family wins “Family Feud”

The winning streak has come to an end for Arkadelphia native Vernon Davis and his wife, two stepsons and sister in law, playing under the Simpson name, on “Family Feud.” Their third and final appearance came down to a sudden death round, in which their competitors, the Warf family, had the better answer.

 

On the second day appearing on the hit TV show, “Family Feud,” the Simpson family won the $20 thousand prize with a final score of 266. 

 

In their first episode, they fell just short of the prize money, earning only $745. Davis’s wife Daphne and stepson Sage answered the questions in the Fast Money segment of the game show on both the first two episodes.

 

Vernon graduated from Henderson in 1992 and joined the military, climbing to the rank of Colonel in the Army while Daphne is a General. Davis even created a family tradition revolving around the school with a heart.

 

Whenever the family passes by the university, the first one of his children to say, “That’s Henderson State University. My dad graduated from there,” gets a dollar from Davis. On one occasion, his son (not featured on the episode) sent him a video driving under the pedestrian bridge on 10th Street saying this line in hopes of earning a dollar.

 

“It felt like icing on the cake,” said Davis. “It was such an amazing experience to share with my family. We created a memory that will be cherished for a lifetime.”

 

Although their time on the show is over, the family walked away with $20,745 in prize money. Their original plan to save the money remains.
