Episode 5
November 12

It's Friday. It's the Hub. It can only mean one thing... GAME NIGHT!

Let's meet the players...

Mackenzie's wacky family consists of herself, her brainiac brother Tyler, and her parents Jodi and Jeffrey. RED FAMILY... READY!
Lauren's family has herself... Then boarding-school mom Suzanne, her dad Andrew, her brother Garrett, two dogs, two guinea pigs, and a snake. The animals aren't playing. YELLOW FAMILY... READY!

Five games will be played. Each win will give the family a choice of 21 Monopoly Crazy Cash Card (3C's). Each card has a different dollar amount. Tonight's top value: $10,000! Both families keep everything they win.

Tossup: Guess Who?

The tossup will determine which family gets first pick of the Cash Cards, and who will play first in the first game. Each team is guaranteed at least 1 Crazy Cash Card.

GUESS WHO...

1) ...won a gold medal in the 2008 Olympics?
2) ...was the NBA's MVP in 2008?
3) ...is the all-time leading scorer in L.A. Lakers history?

RED TEAM answer: Kobe Bryant...

4)  ...won his fifth NBA championship in 2010? It is KOBE BRYANT!

Mackenzie gets the first 3C, the BATTLESHIP. Lauren picks the DOG. How much is that doggy on the board? We'll find out soon. First...

And the family with the most money at the end of the show wins trip to Jamaica!

GAME 1: BOUNCE 'N' BOOGIE BOGGLE

On a five-by-five Boggle board, you will have 2 minutes to come up with as many words as you can. Each one is worth one point for every letter, and the team with the most letters wins. Remember: all letters must be touching, and all words must be at least three letters long.

The board:

F A I R Y
R E E L S
E R A K A
E B Y I V
Z E R O E

MACKENZIE'S FAMILY    LAUREN'S FAMILY
LAY (3)               FAIRY (5)
ZERO (4)              REELS (5)
LEER (4)              FREE (4)
BRAKE (5)             BREAK (5)
LAKE (4)              BEE (3)
SAVE (4)              FREEZE (6)
FEEL (4)              REAR (3)
RAKE (4)              ERA (3)

YELLOW FAMILY wins, 35-32. That gives Lauren another card, the TOP HAT, and the family gets a Vocopro karaoke.

GAME 2: CONNECT 4 BASKETBALL

In the classic game of four-in-a-row, the families must connect four balls in a row horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, taking turns shooting at the game board. In this episode, it takes two games to win the match.

GAME 1: RED (vertically)
GAME 2: YELLOW (vertically)
RUBBER: ...

WINNER: RED on the horizontal. They win an American Heritage air hockey and another 3C... the SODA.

GAME 3: SORRY! SLIDERS

Each family will get two chances to slide their pawn onto a target downstage. The outer ring is worth 1. The middle is worth 3. The bullseye is 5. If your pawn is bumped to the SORRY! zone, then the points are taken away. Most points wins the game, and it takes two games to win the match.

GAME 1: Yellow slides... 1. Red slides... 3. Yellow then slides... SORRY!... as does red. Red wins, 3-1.

GAME 2: Red is first... with 3. Yellow.. BULLSEYE! Red... BULLSEYE! Yellow... SORRY! RED wins the match, a Jolly Time popcorn maker, and another 3C... our favorite, the THIMBLE.

GAME 4: CRANIUM

Tonight, we're playing ... EVERYONE!

STAR PERFORMER: Mom will have 30 seconds to act out as many activities as possible. Each one is worth 20 points.

Jodi gets three activies for 60, while Suzanne... skunks out.

DATA HEAD: Mom will have to identify US states for 10 points each.

We're tied at 20 at the half, meaning that Yellow still trails, 80-20.

CREATIVE CAT: Dad will have to sculpt an object. Each team will have ONE try at it for 50.

Both dads nail their object. Red still leads, 130-70.

WORD WORM: Identify the word as it is being revealed either from top or from bottom. Each word from the team captain is worth 30.

Mackenzie beats Lauren, four words to one, so with the final score at 250-100... RED WINS! They take the PRETZEL 3C... AND a Nintendo Wii!

GAME 5: BOP IT! BOPTAGON

Each family member is at one station, with it alternating red-yellow-red-yellow across the circle. Each family member is in front of a task.

COMMANDS
- Twist it (A twist machine where you use your body to twist)
- Pull it (a large pull)
- Shout it (Microphone)

- Whack it (Hammer on target)
- Honk It (big bike horn)
- Crash it (Trash can Cymbals)
- Bop It (Bop it pod)
- Rotate it (Move one position Clockwise)
- Reverse it (Move one position counter clockwise)

When a command is called, activate your station. If you miss your call, you are eliminated. If you activate your command when not called for, you are also eliminated. Last family standing wins.

Round 1) Garrett & Tyler REVERSED it when they should've rotated it. Each family still has 3.
Round 2) Andrew & Mackenzie did the same... only with ROTATING instead of reversing. Down to 2 a piece.
Round 3) Jodi... did what Garrett & Tyler did.
Round 4) Lauren REVERSED it too much.

Down to Jeffrey and Suzanne...

SUDDEN DEATH: ... Jeffrey REVERSED it when he should've ROTATED. YELLOW WINS! They get the final card... a PIGGY BANK. With that comes a prize, a ride on the Goodyear Blimp!

MONOPOLY CRAZY CASH MACHINE

The family gets to keep all the cash and prizes they won, but the family with the most cash wins the bonus prize of a trip to the FDR in Jamaica!

Lauren's family has three cards to load first. They also have a blimp ride and a karaoke.

Piggy Bank: $475
Top Hat: $715
Dog: $2000
TOTAL: $3190

Mackenzie's family needs more than that to win. Remember, they have four cards, the air hockey table, the Wii, and the popcorn maker. They need these to count.

Pretzel: $335
Soda: $540
Battleship: .... SUPER JACKPOT!
Thimble: $4000
