Five Surrey P.E. teachers rallied late in the game show to win $10,000 for their school.
On 鈥淔amily Feud Canada鈥� Monday (Sept. 18), a Queen Elizabeth Secondary team beat another from a school in Westlock, Alberta, to win the night鈥檚 big prize during a special Teachers鈥� Week promo.
It was a nail-biting victory for gym teachers Tavis Bowie, Shawn Klein, Sukh Badwal, Frederique Muirhead and Danielle Calbick, who were shut out early in the game.
A couple of timely correct answers put the Surrey team into the Fast Money Round with 鈥淔eud鈥� host Gerry Dee, who encouraged Klein to stay positive despite some dud answers to survey questions late in the game.
Key to the win was when Klein answered 鈥渇our鈥� to a question about the ideal number of people for a group project, giving the team more than the necessary 200 points in the final round.
A jubilant Klein gave Dee a good shove before racing to celebrate with the Q.E. team.
Their reaction is shown in video below.

鈥� BACK STORY: .
The Q.E. team, the only one from B.C. during Teachers鈥� Week, buzzed in for a chance to win $10,000 in equipment and supplies for students.
Representing Queen Elizabeth Secondary on the show was a thrill, Bowie said prior to the show air date.
鈥淲e鈥檙e a pretty fun group of individuals so I think everyone was excited to try it out and represent Queen Elizabeth in a positive way. Sometimes the inner-city doesn鈥檛 always get the best press, so I think this was just a neat way to show the kids, you know, here鈥檚 a group of your teachers, you can laugh at us or make fun of us or, you know, have a joke on us at our expense, right?鈥�
