Episode 2.23
February 19
Happy President's
Weekend, everyone! The great debate begins now between two families
to decide who should be the Family Game Night Party nominee in this
year's election. OK, maybe not. Let's meet everyone.
Danielle's
Family
DANIELLE (Always ready
to eat, and play the slide whistle?)
Sister: GINA (Should I wear this?)
Mother: JOANN (the "centerpiece" of the family)
Father: FRED (I should repaint this wall, then this wall...) |
Kegan's
Family
KEGAN (amateur golfer... very
amateur)
Twin sister: KEELY (fashion designer in training)
Mother: JULIE (sew-er, Keely definitely takes after her)
Father: THOMAS (paintball) |
We always find good families for this
show, and for these guys, let's give them a shot at... $15,000!
SONIC WHAMMY'S PREDICTION: CAR
Jamaica awaits for the winners, so let's get these guys on their
way.
Cranium Brain Break: House of Cards
The cards are quick to stack, but Kegan can get his building to
stand, Danielle can't.
KEGAN'S CARD: BATTLESHIP
DANIELLE'S CARD: HORSE
SORRY! SLIDERS
Kegan places his prize dot on the 1-3 border SSW, Danielle's is in
the NW 3. Kegan chooses to go second for the first round.
Danielle's first push is a bust, and Kegan overpushes, too! Gina gets
hers to bounce back... but onto the danger dot! This opens the door for
Keely, who hits her prize dot AND a bullseye for the lone score of the
round.
FINAL SCORE: 0-5 Kegan
The parents are up now. Julie starts with a solid 3, while Joann hangs
on for a 1. Thomas's slider is even closer to the edge of the 1. Fred
makes a bump to shake things up, but hits the danger dot with his while
bumping Julie's piece off the wall and just back into the 1. And that
ends up being the difference.
FINAL SCORE: 1-2 Kegan
KEGAN'S FAMILY WINS: A 2-night trip to San Diego with tickets to Sea
World PLUS 32-inch LCD TV
KEGAN'S CARD: THIMBLE BOP IT! BOPTAGON
Joann needs a nudge in the demonstration, but that gets the ball rolling
for a rousing game. I'll bet Danielle can't wait to get to Pull It since
it sounds like a slide whistle.
1) Joann AND Thomas (Reverses on a rotate)
2) Fred (Reversed on a rotate)
3) Danielle (Rotated on a reverse)
4) Keely (Pulled on a twist)
5) Gina AND Julie (Reversed on a rotate)
These guys were VERY good at this game. One of the longest and best
games ever.
KEGAN'S FAMILY WINS: A 1-year California State Parks pass, plus a 6-man
tent
KEGAN'S CARD: CANNON
SPELLING BEE
These moms will be more skilled than our congressmen in trying to
spell things out to us after this game is over. Kegan's going to go
second.
Joann: FINS, SHOE, PANDA, DIAPER, TOENAIL (TIME UP!)
SCORE: 500
Julie: DESK, MOLE, RULER, PARROT, (TIME UP!) CABOOSE
SCORE: 400
DANIELLE'S FAMILY WINS: A trip to Cirque de Soleil Iris
DANIELLE'S CARD: PLANE
SIMON FLASH
Let the Senators focus on the issues, we'll
focus on the colors.
YBRG (Danielle), RYGB (Kegan), YBGR (Kegan), RGBY (Danielle), GBYR
(Danielle), BYRG (Kegan), GRBY (Danielle), YRGB (Danielle)
FINAL SCORE: 5-3 Danielle
Points 3 and 8 were SO close. I thought drag races were close, these
points were decided by microseconds. Great game!
DANIELLE'S FAMILY WINS: A Casio Workstation keyboard
DANIELLE'S CARD: TRAIN
CONNECT 4 BASKETBALL
Shooting for the starts and the break of the
deadlock now. Danielle's going to shoot first.
The winning layout:
OOOOOOO
OOOOOOO
OOOOROO
OOOOROO
OOYOROO
OOYORYO
We're into flawless victories these days. Four straight, and it's over.
DANIELLE'S FAMILY WINS: A Boomers gift card
DANIELLE'S CARD: IRON
MONOPOLY CRAZY CASH MACHINE
First half of the show was all Kegan, second half was all Danielle.
We're playing a 4-3 defense for the first time in a little bit, so this
can go in either direction.
Danielle will feed the cards first.
IRON: $780
TRAIN: $1,200
PLANE: $815
HORSE: $760
TOTAL: $3,555
Wow, that's an impressive total for 4 cards. Kegan, the stage is yours.
CANNON: $555
THIMBLE: $920
BATTLESHIP: $15,000!!!
TOTAL: $16,475
WINNERS: KEGAN'S FAMILY
Unbelievable! For the second week straight week, the first card picked
in the whole show is the Big Money Card! Kegan wanted an explosion with
the Battleship, and he got it! And now, he's off to Jamaica.
Well, we'll have another battle next week. Will we have three in a row?
Gotta join us to find out. Bye!
