March 11
March Madness. It's all
about games. It's all about shining moments. And it's all about
families getting together to lose the box and get in on some action
in Operation, Simon Flash, Spelling Bee, Guesstures, and Twister!
What, you thought we were talking about basketball? No, we're
talking about Family Game Night?
Benjamin's

Lindsay's
Family

A trip to SBS could end up in a trip
to... ALASKA! Not only that, we've got $8000 in the bank for whoever
finds the Super Crazy Cash Card.
THE CHAIRMAN'S PREDICTION: SACK OF MONEY
Cranium Brain Break: Assembly
Required
The picture today... has a tooth missing and an evil moustache.

how to treat him, so she gets the first card...
LINDSAY'S CARD: TRAIN
BEN'S CARD: PRETZEL
OPERATION: SAM DUNK
Cavity Sam is prepped for surgery... with a few balls. Todd's test
roll... Burp Bubbles.
Lindsay gets on the board with the
Giggles. Daniel and Jessica get Phone Finger. Kim burps out. And the
dads go cold. Lindsay's family leads, 450-400. And the Ringing in
the Ears is now in play. All of
the kids light the nose, so it's up to the adults to bring it home.
Moms... no help. Scott... Burp Bubbles for 150. Mat needs something
worth more than 100 to win. BUZZ.
FINAL SCORE: 550-450 Benjamin
BEN'S FAMILY WINS: three nights at Yosemite (Curry Village)
BEN'S CARD: MONEY BAG!!!! A little louder, Ben.

TWISTER LIGHTS OUT
Let's bring out the sweet spot... Kids are
first.
There go the dots as the kids do so well. Lindsay goes lights out on a
dot ... as does Benjamin.... as does Daniel. Carley wins one for
Lindsay's family.
Parents are nervous, but ready. Mat went to blue instead of left hand
red, so he's out. And Kym gets dot-robbed. Tie game!
A tie game sends the kids back on the smaller floor. Lindsay falls off a
dot, while Daniel moves his foot too early. And Benjamin loses his dot
and the game.
LINDSAY'S FAMILY WINS: DXG HD camcorder
LINDSAY'S CARD: AIRPLANE
MONOPOLY CRAZY CASH MACHINE
It's split in the middle with Benjamin's family getting the lion's share

his cards first.
