Episode 2
October 15

Hope you enjoyed the premiere on Sunday. Now get ready, because Friday night... is GAME NIGHT! Ditch the box and let's meet the players!

Johnny's Family: Big sister Christine is a bassist who's learning Japanese. Mom Kathy is a computer teacher. Dad Johnny is also a bassist. Get ready to play, RED FAMILY!

Diego's Family: Emilea is a great drummer. Dad Jesse and mom Jodi go all out for Halloween. The YELLOW FAMILY wants you to hop on the bus, because you're going to school.

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: $12,500! 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.

1) Began acting when he was only 11 years old.
2) Was given a DeLorean and a '65 Mustang by his grandfather.
3) Recorded a duet with Vanessa Hudgens

YELLOW TEAM answer: Zac Efron...

4) Has appeared in "17 Again", "Charlie St. Cloud", and "Hairspray". It is ZAC EFRON!

Diego gets the first 3C, PIGGY BANK. Johnny picks the BATTLESHIP.

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

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:

T I P U T
W A L L S
N A I P I
T F E E T
S F L A B


There is one Boggle bonus word. And if the family finds it, they get a digital music player. The word... WAFFLE.
