The long awaited Yellowjackets episode and season premiere of the ninth season of Celebrity Family Feud invoked plenty of fan reactions, primarily from Christina Ricci‘s spontaneously silly responses.
The cast split up into two teams: the teen stars (led by Samantha Hanratty, who plays teen Misty) and their adult counterparts (led by Ricci, who plays adult Misty). Ricci was accompanied by Tawny Cypress (Taissa), Melanie Lynskey (Shauna), Lauren Ambrose (Van) and Warren Kole (Jeff), while Hanratty competed alongside Jasmin Savoy Brown (teen Taissa), Sophie Nélisse (teen Shauna), Courtney Eaton (teen Lottie) and series co-creator Ashley Lyle.
Led by host Steve Harvey, each teen star went up against their adult character’s ‘self’ up at the podium.
Almost fifteen minutes into the episode, the adult Yellowjackets were each taking their shot at answering “name a reason you know someone is rich just by looking at them.” They have gotten three out of the four responses on the board, and it was up to Ricci to lock in that round’s victory. To Harvey’s dismay, Ricci replies, “good hair, expensive hair,” to which Harvey (who is bald) quips, “oh, guess I’m back to being poor now!”
Ricci’s answer is enough to win the round, with “perfect hair” being the exact answer.
Ricci and Kole were then selected to compete in the “fast money” round. Upon being asked “how many minutes does it take you to fall asleep after you go to bed?,” Ricci replied, “320 minutes,” equivalent to a whopping five hours and twenty minutes. When Harvey went to review her answers, she justified it by exclaiming, “I was thinking seconds!,” followed up by, “listen, I got really nervous! I wasn’t thinking.”
Her laugh-inducing answers don’t stop there. After repeating Kole’s answer to “name something you put several of in a dishwasher,” (glasses/cups), she responds with “dishes,” a vague enough answer that scored her team 46 points on just that answer!

However, some fans on Twitter ere quick to comment, believing that “luck alone” won Ricci the title.

Despite Ricci being a highlight, the “Teen Yellowjackets” team brought the energy, which the show’s fans ate up.
The adults may have won but the teens had the most chaotic energy in the history of family feud and I love that for all of them#YELLOWJACKETS

Both teams were playing with the purpose of donating their earnings to GLAAD, a non-profit dedicated to promoting LGTBQ advocacy. Both teams won a donation in their name to the organization.
The first two seasons of Yellowjackets are available on Prime Video. Celebrity Family Feud airs every Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.
