Neil deGrasse Tyson vs. Rick Fox and Boy Band vs. Girl Group (August 13)

For the July 16-July 21 tournament of the episode, see Neil deGrasse Tyson vs. Rick Fox and Boy Band vs. Girl Group.

A repeat of Neil deGrasse Tyson vs. Rick Fox and Boy Band vs. Girl Group will air August 13, 2017.

Joey Fatone was the defending champion, but he eventually played with his other Boy Band members in the episode, and thus couldn't defend his title. A Pee Saderd withdrawal was suggested as Saderd was limping in the Bachelors vs. Bachelorettes and Sandra Lee vs. Lea Thompson final against Fatone, but Saderd eventually participated in the tournament.

Seeds
Because Joey Fatone is playing, seedings are the Big 8 expect Fatone plus the top 16 entering Pocono. The choices of the no.1 seed were either Josef Newgarden who won three IndyCar 2017 races at Barber, Mid-Ohio and Toronto or Pee Saderd who won eight of the last nine Celebrity Family Feud tournaments.

Voting for the no.1 seed was like the Eurovision Song Contest voting for 12, 10, 8-1 points for their 10 favorite entries. The televoting went for Newgarden, but the juries went for Saderd. The televotes won the vote over the juries. It was mainly because of the televoting. Hélio Castroneves, James Hinchcliffe, Mario Lopez, Cameron Mathison, Gilles Marini and Apolo Anton Ohno qualified for seeds 3-8, while 9-32 are top 16 entering Pocono.

Aleshin will miss the rest of the 2017 season, and a new driver takes over Aleshin for the last four races, so therefore 17th in the standings entering Pocono, Carlos Muñoz, took over. Aleshin was therefore relegated to unseeded for the final episodes of the season and returns to the Russian flag from Polish flag after he was dismissed by his IndyCar team, suggesting that he will move to sports cars in 2018.
