One year ago, 29-year-old Sakle Howell heard that “Family Feud” tryouts were coming to Boston.

Sakle, who grew up in Medford with her siblings Tricia, 30, Daniel, 23, and William, 35, along with their cousin Oneal, 32, told her family about the auditions. As avid fans of “Family Feud,” everyone was on board with going out for the show.

“They liked us at the tryouts,” Sakle said. “They even sent us to a second audition in another room.”

The Howells waited for several months to find out if they had been selected. Then, sometime in February or March, they received a phone call from “Family Feud” offering to fly them out to Atlanta to be on the show.

The episode featuring the Howells will finally air on Oct. 25 at 8:30 p.m. on Channel 7/WHDH.

The family described the overall experience of going to Atlanta and filming the show as “a big party.” The crew from “Family Feud,” including the show’s host, Steve Harvey, made everyone feel welcomed.

“[The staff] gave us the energy to give a good show,” Oneal said. “I didn’t feel out of place at all … All the families were great too. Everybody was super friendly.”

Tricia described Harvey as “fun and relatable.”

“He made us feel at home on his stage,” she said.

“He kind of took your mind off the fact that you’re going to be on TV,” Oneal added.

To prepare for the show, the family primarily watched “Family Feud” episodes. They believe that their diverse occupational backgrounds made them an ideal family for the show: Tricia works in criminal justice, Sakle works in social work, Oneal is a pharmacist, Daniel works in public health and William is in the air force reserves.

“The way they come up with the answers on the show is they survey 100 people [randomly],” Tricia said. “So it’s important that we’re coming from different backgrounds, even though we’re a family unit.”

At the same time, knowing each other also helped them on the show.

“Throughout the show, I’d be thinking, ‘I know I’m not going to get this… I might get this… is my brother going to get it?’” Sakle said. “I kind of had a feel for the answers, just from being family and knowing each other and what we’ve been through. That would help us decide whether we were going to play or pass, things like that.”

The Howells are inevitably excited and nervous to watch the episode when it airs. Though filming took about an hour in total, the episode is cut to 26 minutes, so they don’t know exactly what it will be like.

“I just don’t want to end up as a meme,” Oneal said. “You don’t know how they edit it.”

While it appears as though contestants have some time to answer questions during the show, the Howells said that they actually have zero seconds to answer a question after hitting the buzzer.

“Even though it’s the silliest questions, it’s stressful,” Sakle said.

The family nonetheless had a great time filming and agreed that the experience was unlike anything they had done before.

“I can only say good things about it,” Oneal said.
