Episode 2.2
September 2
Welcome back if you've been watching the two-hour
season opener of FGN. If not, where've you been? You missed a big money moment!
Anyway, time to kick things into overdrive with rounds of... Boggle, Green
Scream, Cranium, Guesstures, and Yahtzee on Family Game Night!
Let's meet the players...
Michael's
Family
Michael's a chemist in the making,
sister Sarah plays handball, mom Robin can juggle anything, and dad
Howard is a trumpeter |
Azia's
Family
Azia loves drawing, brother Gyasi
loves his dog, mom Kimberly needs fashion advice, while dad Eric is
a computer genius |
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, but the team with
the most cash at the end of the show will win a family vacation in
Orlando!
Cranium Brain Break: Pin the Brain on
the Newton
Cranium Brain Breaks 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.
In this Brain Break, your team will have to
pin the Cranium brain onto the cranium of our brave heroic host. The
captains will be blinded by their opponent's moms, and the rest of the
family will have to direct.
Michael's the first to pin the brain on the Newton to pick the first
3C... the THIMBLE (C-Note: My favorite). Azia picks the BATTLESHIP.
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.

Three family members are suspended above the
Guesstures "Pit". The fourth has to guess what it is they're acting out.
If they get it right, it's 10 points. If they get it wrong, no penalty,
and they can keep guessing. If they pass, the family member drops and
the next family member has to act the next word. they have two minutes
to score as many points as possible.

guessing. They get salute, helmet, manicure, piano, soccer, hot, banana,
unicorn, tooth, kite, and jacket, passing twice for 120.

family takes to the sky. They get arm wrestle, lipstick, juggling,
glasses, violin, headband, torch, motorcycle, eating, telephone, globe,
and flute, passing four times for 120. Remember, ties are broken by
fewest amount of passes. Michael's family had two to Azia's family's
four to win! They get a Trapeze School New York lesson on Santa Monica
Pier AND the IRON 3C.
