...contestants, during the introductions at the beginning of the program, apparently need to use an adjective to describe their family members. I, for example, couldn't simply say, "I have a wife and two daughters;" it would have to be, "I have a lovely wife and two wonderful daughters."
For future reference here are some suggested adjectives for various family members:
Spouses/Significant Others:
swell
pretty or handsome
demanding
flirty
cheating
estranged
imprisoned
Children:
spiffy
well-behaved
spirited
rambunctious
annoying
silent
Parents
loving
aging
venerable
ailing
tight-fisted
ice-flow-bound
