Faith Evans vs. Ross Mathews and USA Gymnastics vs. USA Swimming

A combined tournament of Faith Evans vs Ross Mathews and USA Gymnastics vs USA Swimming (September 24)/Kandi Burruss vs. Cynthia Bailey and DWTS vs. Shark Tank (September 26) is the finale of the Celebrity Family Feud 2017 season. It is the first time since Kelly Clarkson vs. Amy Schumer and Bindi Irwin vs. Chrissy Metz (September 10) that the final happens on a Thursday. Due to DWTS playing Tuesday, a season 25 results show on week 2 might not be happening.

The finale takes place in the United States to prepare themselves for the 2017 Petit Le Mans. The IndyVision Song Contest 2017 will be moved to December 5, 7 and 9, to be scheduled in Russia a week before the 2017 Swiss Open.

It will be the last Celebrity Family Feud episode until the 2018 FIFA World Cup, as it was renewed for a fifth season.

Seeds
Since the episode is one of the last two episodes combined after the 2017 Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma, it was changed from standings after Sonoma used for the 2017 Swiss Open to captains. Since the repeat of Kelly Clarkson vs. Amy Schumer and Bindi Irwin vs. Chrissy Metz is September 10 and another repeat is during the 2017 Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma, the final two tournaments (September 17 and 24/26) will be captains. For Quizizz, it was also changed from a Metagross hogging game to a Pee Saderd hogging game.

The seeds were internationally selected by Abomasnow and Eldstar at Pocono. Despite his new song "ก่อนสิไป", Pee Saderd will be the no.1 seed in both the Sonoma and September 24/26 tournaments, since his October 19 birthday were weeks away in both tournaments. Volcarona will be seeded 5th, and wrecked the IndyCar party, and is the only Pokemon not named Aurorus, Dragonite or Nidoking to qualify for the top 8 seedings in 2017 episodes.

With Volcarona seeded 5th, Volcarona's seeding is the highest Serbian seeding at a Grand Slam level tournament since Novak Djokovic at the 2017 Wimbledon Championships, when he retired from his quarterfinal with Tomas Berdych. These seedings will also be used on the September 17 tournament, due to the race clashing with the tournament.

Notably, Josef Newgarden is the highest-seeded IndyCar driver, ahead of his Team Penske teammates Will Power, Simon Pagenaud and Hélio Castroneves. Russian Pee Saderd grabbed top seed due to his great results with finals in every 2017 tournament expect Kelly Clarkson vs. Amy Schumer and Bindi Irwin vs. Chrissy Metz, where he fell to Carlos Muñoz and Neil deGrasse Tyson vs. Rick Fox and Boy Band vs. Girl Group (August 13), where he lost to Volcarona. Pee Saderd's records remain the best tournament record in the show's history. Scott Dixon will be seeded 3rd and Simon Pagenaud seeded 4th, behind Saderd and Newgarden. Hélio Castroneves, Will Power and Graham Rahal grabbed seeds 6, 7, and 8, respectively.

All seeds get a bye to the second round, in both September 17 and 24 tournaments.

The Twitter mistakes the Gymnastics team as the winners in the second game on September 24. All remaining seeds that voted for the Gymnasts had advanced. With only Pee Saderd, Mario Lopez, Maneesh Gupta, Decidueye, Vaporeon, Skorupi, Marko Manieri and Heracross advancing, this marked the lowest amount of seeds that advanced to the third round since Kelly Clarkson vs. Amy Schumer and Bindi Irwin vs. Chrissy Metz (September 10), when Aurorus, Wario, Nidoking, Larvesta, Pee Saderd, Ed Jones, JR Hildebrand and Carlos Muñoz advanced. In both tournaments, the only seed that advanced to the third round in both was Pee Saderd, who turns 45 three Thursdays from the tournament's final. In fact Saderd was defending champion in both episodes. Out of the seeds that are seeded in both this episode and the 2017 Swiss Open, only Saderd and Lopez advanced, while the others voted for the USA Gymnastics team and were eliminated. Additionally, Saderd and Lopez were both born in October of the 1970's and before Tony Kanaan. Saderd was awarded the Celebrity Family Feud king for advancing in every episode expect Kelly Clarkson vs. Amy Schumer and Bindi Irwin vs. Chrissy Metz, when he suffered a shock exit in the hands of Carlos Muñoz, hence 19 years and 2 months younger than him.

However, they apologized as the Swimmers eventually won the Feud.
