The season premiere of the latest season of the celebrity ABC game saw the celebrity contestants being tasked with answering questions faster than their opponents and win money for the same.

In a clip uploaded to social media, the young Taissa, played by Tawny Cypress goes up against the adult Taissa played by Jasmin Savoy Brown. The two danced their way to the center of the stage where Steve Harvey stood and asked them questions.

In another clip, Samantha tells the camera that while they were having fun, they were losing quite badly. She is then joined by Tawny who stated that they can hopefully pull it together. When the young Taissa asked Samantha why they were losing, Samantha responded by saying:

"Listen, okay, Steve looked at me with his mustache and smiled at me."

She noted that the Celebrity Family Feud host’s expression shook her and before she knew, the buzzer went off. She added that it wasn’t her fault. In the video, Samantha still had faith that her team would win.

However, at the end of the episode, the Yellowjackets adults won the segment and walked away with $25000 on behalf of GLAAD, formerly known as Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
