Tonight on Family Feud the Normans have walked away with the show's biggest prize package yet - a whopping $20,000 and a brand new car.

Desiree, Dave, Atarangi and Raymond Norman appeared on the show for the maximum five nights, during which they also got the highest player one fast money score yet achieved.

"I was over the moon," says Dave.

"I couldn't actually believe it and I was standing there like a stunned mullet," says Atarangi.

Desiree says the family plans to split the money evenly.

"I've got a trip booked for Tahiti in April of next year, so now I can actually afford it," she says.

Atarangi's going to take her nine grandchildren to Rainbow's End for a day.

They family drove away in a brand new Suzuki Swift, which Dave describes as "small".

"We're big people," adds Atarangi with a laugh.

"It smells new. We haven't decided if we're going to keep it yet."

Family Feud isn't just about winning money, it's about having fun and loads of laughs. Desiree says the funniest moment of her family's stint on the show was when Raymond was asked to name something he pulled, and he answered "the ladies".

And of course, being on the show for such a stretch meant the Normans spent a great deal of time with funnyman host Dai Henwood.

"He's gorgeous! I want to adopt him," gushes Atarangi.

"We want to take him home," adds Dave.

The family's advice for anyone else going on Family Feud is to simply enjoy it.

"Don't go on it to win money because you'll ruin it for yourself, you'll take away the fun element," says Atarangi.

"That way there's no chance of disappointing yourselves. If you win, bonus - if you don't, oh well, you had fun. But in saying that, we did win a lot!"

Family Feud is broadcast weekdays at 5:25pm on TV3.
