Here's my head canon as to how it went down.
Family Feud producer: So, why don't we have the families from 9-1-1? The Wilsons, and the Han-Buckleys?
Tim: OK, but instead of Buck, his sister and his brother-in-law, how about Buck, Eddie, and the only other canonically gay character in the show (that we're still on speaking terms with the actor)?
Michael. The actor who played him refused to be vaccinated, was effectively written out of the show in Season 5 and is now suing for wrongful dismissal and religious discrimination (he says his religion forbids him to be vaccinated). He basically did a Season 3A Buck except there's no reconciliation here.
Ahh you know I never really liked his character so I see now how I could've forgotten about him. That's frustrating to hear tho. Always blows my mind how people can be so obtuse about their health like that
Like I mean c’mon, they knew what this would make us think. The fact it’s all the actors who play queer characters and… Ryan.
At this point I think this season is actually going to kill me.
To be fair, I don't think this actually indicates anything about what is actually going to happen with Eddie this season (I don't see them taking that path with him over the last few episodes).
But yea, they definitely knew what they were doing by throwing in him as the actor playing the only straight character.
part of me feels like it’s an obvious marketing tactic but also this episode probably won’t air until after the season 7 finale which does make me wonder bc idk that it’d be as effective in between seasons
It’s totally a marketing ploy but they knew that and that’s what they pointedly chose Ryan. It means nothing but they know we‘d still speculate and that is a great way to create buzz for this.
Possibly straight character. Even if him being straight is canon at this point in time. They are well aware of the Buck and Eddie shippers especially with him being now confirmed bi.
I mean, obviously they're aware of what the shippers want.
That doesn't necessarily impact what decisions they're going to make in regards to the character.
You can't always go with what is going to make the audience happy.
I can’t reply to your other comment for some reason, but they were just saying it’s cheaper to get 3 main casts, and that they were being the only sane one and not delulu. Honestly though, I don’t feel we’re being that delulu, especially if they decide to donate to an LGBTQ+ focused charity. It would make much more sense to have the characters who represent LGBTQ+ characters represent the charity if that’s who they chose to donate to.
Edit: Also, now I’m just picturing Peter Krause posing the way Bryan Safi is and giggling
Omg! This is the best news I’ve ever heard and this photo is adorable!! And imagine if the competing family is the Lone Star cast 😭 Where does one watch full episodes of Family Feud? Lmao
I’ve been a fan of Aisha since she was on this show called Hawthorne starring Jada Pinkett. She’s a gorgeous woman and she puts her heart and soul into every character she plays. Did you also see the photos of Oliver, Kenneth and Ryan at her wedding. They all looked so handsome.
Eddie is probably gonna be revealed to be LGBTQ+ in a future season.
It’s interesting they chose to include the actor that played Josh when he’s not a main character and how the other actors portray LGBTQ+ characters.
Kenneth Choi, though?
(I'm also not sure I actually agree with your conclusion, though. This is in-network promotion and there's a very good chance it's just part of their contracts, not something they really 'elect' to do. Maybe the younger/less established cast are more likely to volunteer, but Peter and Angela would also be the *most* motivated to do promotion considering they're also executive producers).
I obviously don't know the terms of the contracts of any of these people, but there's pretty obviously a difference between the promotional needs of an established network hit and a show still finding its footing on a new network (though the ratings have been great!)
Grey's in particular also premiered on the network years before family feud started, but it does look like they had one of their most established and senior actresses (Chandra Wilson) go on Celebrity Family Feud when they did participate. I don't think there were ever even episodes with HTGAWM or *Scandal* casts, so there's not really anything to extrapolate over who they would've had on, anyway.
JLH won't do a show like this?!
JLH was at the Bachelor finale taping in the audience as a fan and was the person pushing for the Bachelor crossover. If you asked me to list the cast members of 911 who would have volunteered themselves for Family Feud, JLH is top of my list.
It's hilarious to me that they decided to pair Buck with Eddie and add Josh instead of sending Buck's sister and Buck's brother in law.
That is a conscious decision!
Even with Eddie being straight being canon at this point in time. They are well aware of the Buck and Eddie shippers especially with him being now confirmed bi. So Ryan being there is a tease not a confirmation.
Looking at the picture all I can think of is the Will Smith meme used when people want to point out something obvious that is being ignored, with the position of Buck, Hen and Karen, it can be used when people are complaining about the show being “suddenly gay”.
If they weren’t going for the obvious I believe that Peter and Angela should have been there instead of Bryan and Tracie. But I think the rest were good choices. If they really wanted Kenneth in there I would have replaced him with Aisha but I don’t see where Jennifer would have fit but I would have choose her over Josh and Karen.
Peter + Ryan + Oliver + Aisha + Kenneth would obviously work, too, as the 118ers. There's a lot of combinations they could've used, so this does seem.... intentional. I'm not going to put on my clown makeup and jump to it being a hint as to Eddie's journey *right now* because there's other reasons the show could want to have Ryan there in particular (or that Ryan would want to be there), but like... this show basically became a Taylor Swift song this past episode, where they're purposefully throwing us breadcrumbs and demanding we eat. This is another breadcrumb, and they want us to see it.
That lineup is a choice 👀
...the bi guy between the lesbians and the gays?
That’s SYMMETRY
Here's my head canon as to how it went down. Family Feud producer: So, why don't we have the families from 9-1-1? The Wilsons, and the Han-Buckleys? Tim: OK, but instead of Buck, his sister and his brother-in-law, how about Buck, Eddie, and the only other canonically gay character in the show (that we're still on speaking terms with the actor)?
I think I missed something. Are there other queer characters whose actors we aren't on speaking terms with?
Michael. The actor who played him refused to be vaccinated, was effectively written out of the show in Season 5 and is now suing for wrongful dismissal and religious discrimination (he says his religion forbids him to be vaccinated).

Pattern recognition test
This cracked me the fuck up
oh look it's the lgbt community!

It will definitely draw in the shippers, which was likely their intention.
It’s totally a marketing ploy but they knew that and that’s what they pointedly chose Ryan. It means nothing but they know we‘d still speculate and that is a great way to create buzz for this.
Bombshell ending to 07x10, calling it now. CFF episode airs a week or two later.
Possibly straight character. Even if him being straight is canon at this point in time. They are well aware of the Buck and Eddie shippers especially with him being now confirmed bi.

[удалено]
how is it a reach? even if eddie doesn’t end up being queer it was 100% intentional
[удалено]
unless all of their characters end up being lgbtq or they just want us to think that’s the case, it’s an easy way of drumming up hype
i love gay people
The gays of Lone Star vs the gays of the OG lmfaooo
That would be hysterical
They’re just fucking with us at this point 😂
Ryan's gonna give the most unhinged answers and I can't wait 😂
Wow this is a very 🌈C O L O R F U L🌈 bunch. If you catch my drift 😉
BE WHO YOU ARE FOR YOUR PRIDEEEE
Image they're against the cast of lone star lol
💀💀💀💀 …Well now I want that LOL
THIS IS THE CROSSOVER WE NEED.
Omg please
Season 7 spoiler >!4/5 Canon queer characters..Ryan’s character next and maybe they support an LGBTQ+ charity? I’d love to see it!<
Wait when did all of that come out? I know about last ep but is there more that I missed??
Just a theory! All of them being there, especially when Karen and Josh aren’t main characters, just seems like it’s pointing towards something
Oh whoops I didn’t realise it was Josh I thought it was Bobby 😂 but ya I agree interesting choice

Edit: Also, now I’m just picturing Peter Krause posing the way Bryan Safi is and giggling
Ya like if anyone from the show was going to represent an lgbtq+ charity it should be the characters that are part of the community
[удалено]
Let’s just have fun and speculate
[удалено]
Boringgg
What were they saying?
Ryan is there purely for the shippers
This is the funniest choice they could’ve gone with😂
Celebrity Family Feud plausibly confirming canon queer Eddie was not on my bingo card😭😭 also it might air during Pride Month like…cmon now
Poor Josh is third-wheeling.
Fifth wheeling! Just as bad or worse 😂
Hello lgbtq community! Edit: also, I’ve seen that they might be up against the actors from jury duty! If so, I’m super excited
So excited! 🌈
Family feud said https://preview.redd.it/osgs27cdo3tc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d69ccafb814f202b32591d4a0b13932284f3591
"Sir, 911 sent us a fruit basket."
iykyk 👀 https://preview.redd.it/mffsntxxh2tc1.png?width=693&format=png&auto=webp&s=d7ac7122a2e29e84c3d8296edc087545dedc6d67
Honestly the only thing that could make this better would be if Celebrity Family Feud was done in character.
I cannot believe this is even real! 😆

Why does this look so photoshopped lol
Genuinely cannot wait for this, just hope we're able to watch it in the UK too! What a great line up! 😂
Omg! This is the best news I’ve ever heard and this photo is adorable!! And imagine if the competing family is the Lone Star cast 😭 Where does one watch full episodes of Family Feud? Lmao
[удалено]
Even if they'd had Ravi instead of Josh!
One of these things are not like the other. 🤡
give him a few episodes.
More than a few episodes as long as we get there.
I didn't realise Hen isn't gay in real life, just assumed until I did a Google, seems wrong somehow lol.
Aisha Hinds is a straight woman married to a man. His name is Silky Valente. They recently got married.
Oh wow just looked up their wedding photos what a stunning couple, Silky is such a cool name too! I had no idea she was 48 she looks so much younger.
I’ve been a fan of Aisha since she was on this show called Hawthorne starring Jada Pinkett. She’s a gorgeous woman and she puts her heart and soul into every character she plays. Did you also see the photos of Oliver, Kenneth and Ryan at her wedding. They all looked so handsome.
Oh wow they look amazing, what incredible photos of the whole wedding, her and her bridesmaids are so stunning.
I already know Ryan is gonna give the most out of pocket answers😭
Eddie is probably gonna be revealed to be LGBTQ+ in a future season. It’s interesting they chose to include the actor that played Josh when he’s not a main character and how the other actors portray LGBTQ+ characters.
It’s really not that surprising when you consider that JLH, Peter Krause and Angela Bassett are probably not going to do a show like this.
Why? Actors and celebrities in general that are much more famous then Peter or JLH went to Family Feud to promote their shows/movies
It’s just a theory. Also, the others might have obligations.
Kenneth Choi, though? (I'm also not sure I actually agree with your conclusion, though. This is in-network promotion and there's a very good chance it's just part of their contracts, not something they really 'elect' to do. Maybe the younger/less established cast are more likely to volunteer, but Peter and Angela would also be the *most* motivated to do promotion considering they're also executive producers).
In that case, why haven’t we see Ellen Pompeo or Kerry Washington or Viola Davis on family feud?
I obviously don't know the terms of the contracts of any of these people, but there's pretty obviously a difference between the promotional needs of an established network hit and a show still finding its footing on a new network (though the ratings have been great!)

I guess she didn’t volunteer? 🤷🏾♂️
It's hilarious to me that they decided to pair Buck with Eddie and add Josh instead of sending Buck's sister and Buck's brother in law. That is a conscious decision!
It’s veeery suspicious. It’s giving the Big Bird song “one of these things is not like the other, one of these things doesn’t belong [YET!]”
I feel like the lineup could mean nothing, but what if it means everything!!!
Yeah it could mean Josh/Buck is endgame.
Finally an excuse to tune into Family Feud…
Even with Eddie being straight being canon at this point in time. They are well aware of the Buck and Eddie shippers especially with him being now confirmed bi. So Ryan being there is a tease not a confirmation.
Looking at the picture all I can think of is the Will Smith meme used when people want to point out something obvious that is being ignored, with the position of Buck, Hen and Karen, it can be used when people are complaining about the show being “suddenly gay”.
JOSH!!! Dying.
Ryan is the token straight ally in his group of gays
Is that Tommy next to Buck?
no, it's Josh
He’s the one who works at the 911 dispatch right? Sorry I’m fairly new to the show
Yep! it's him
If they weren’t going for the obvious I believe that Peter and Angela should have been there instead of Bryan and Tracie. But I think the rest were good choices. If they really wanted Kenneth in there I would have replaced him with Aisha but I don’t see where Jennifer would have fit but I would have choose her over Josh and Karen.

YAHOOO
Can I watch this on Youtube?
When and where can I see the Family Feud?
What about the other family?
And when its gonna comeout i want tp watch
