Episode 2.10
October 30

Yes, I'm still here in the midst of the October snow. And with the earliest snow day from school in my life. *sigh* Well, I got the games to keep me warm, so let's start it up!

Michelle's Family
Leader: MICHELLE (Bocce player, and kitchen diva)
CHRISTOPHER (Waving to us on his water skis when he's not busting a move on the floor)
DENISE (Flowers grow for her)
THOMAS (Out for a ride on the bike. Motorcycle, that is. Hey, give my dad a call.)
Ashley's Family
Leader:
ASHLEY (Another cooker, and she knows how to state her case)
LANCE (Skateboarder)
KAMIKO (Loves to dance, Ashley does NOT love to watch)
GREG (Out for a ride on the bike. No, just a bike.)

All right, they're pumped, and $10,000 is what they're hunting for.
SONIC WHAMMY'S PREDICTION: IRON
And the big trip tonight is to get out of the snow and off to Cabo San Lucas.

Cranium Brain Break: Trash the Host

I got thrown off by this one, since it looked like Michelle's group was landing 2 at a time in a couple spots. Would've mattered, too, because it ended up as a 4-4 tie. Because of the tie, the team who sank one first wins... and it's Ashley.

ASHLEY'S CARD: PLANE
MICHELLE'S CARD: DOG

GREEN SCREAM

Ashley will go second. 90 on the clock.

Michelle's category: Landmarks
White House, Empire State Building, Leaning Tower of Pisa, Golden Gate Bridge, Taj Mahal (PASS), Space Needle, Colliseum, (TIME UP!) Gateway Arch
TOTAL: 60 points

Taj Mahal & Space Needle ate up all the clock.

Ashley's category: Amusement Parks
Popcorn, Roller coaster, Ticket, Ferris wheel, Cotton candy, Bumber cars, Caramel apple
TOTAL: 70 points (TIME LEFT: 38 SECONDS)

Too easy this time.

ASHLEY'S FAMILY WINS: A Casio Workstation keyboard
ASHLEY'S CARD: SKATEBOARD

BOP IT! BOPTAGON

I know I keep thinking of UFC when I hear the word Boptagon, but I heard last night's pay-per-view had a shocking departure, so it's still fresh this week. Sorry.

Here's the lowdown:

1) KAMIKO (Pulled on a kick)
2) CHRIS AND LANCE (Rotated on a reverse)
3) DENISE (Fell asleep on pull)
4) TOM (Fell asleep on honk)
5) MICHELLE (Bopped on a reverse, that's new)

ASHLEY'S FAMILY WINS: 6 tickets to Knott's Berry Farm
ASHLEY'S CARD: HORSE

TWISTER LIGHTS OUT!

The kids start it off. Ashley reached so far onto the board that her right foot came on before it was supposed to. Lance then gets bumped for moving the right foot on a left command. Red wins in a sweep.

Now for the parents. Kamiko switches her feet, too, moving the left when the right needed to move. Denise loses her dot next. The dads play it tight, but Thomas loses his dot, tying it up.

The kids come back up for the speed round. Lance moves a hand this time instead of a foot, then Ashley moves the wrong foot quickly after for another red sweep.

MICHELLE'S FAMILY WINS: A Sports Authority gift card
MICHELLE'S CARD: PRETZEL

CONNECT 4 BASKETBALL

With the lockout, it's the only game in town. Michelle goes first, and here's where the winning combination ended up:

OORRYOO
OORYRRO
YRRYYYR
RRYYRRY
YYRRYYY
RRRYRYY

Blocks all over the place, and I actually thought we were going to end up with a tie. It took forever to even put one in column 2. And fittingly, that's where Christopher landed the winning shot.

MICHELLE'S FAMILY WINS: A 1-year California State Parks membership, plus a Kelte tent
MICHELLE'S CARD: CELL PHONE

YAHTZEE! BOWLING

Michelle will go first. Greg & Thomas head down to clean up in the first frame.

Ashley: 13345 > 33356 > 13336 (TRIPS)
Michelle: 11466 > 44566 > 44566 (2 PAIR)
WINNER: ASHLEY

Now for Frame 2:
Michelle: 22456 > 44456 > 44456 (TRIPS)
Ashley: 11346 > 13444 > 24444 (4 OF A KIND)

Michelle's family likes repeating on the last roll, don't they? Doesn't help against the sweep.

A pair Street Surfing Whiplash scooters
BATTLESHIP

MONOPOLY CRAZY CASH MACHINE

We've got a classic 3-4 defense. Nice and even. But now it's time for the money to do the talking.

Ashley's gonna start.

BATTLESHIP: $585
PLANE: $810
HORSE: $880
SKATEBOARD: $1,200
TOTAL: $3,475

Wow, that's a real nice total. But we've seen 3 cards beat that before. Michelle hopes this is one of those times.

DOG: $635
CELL PHONE: $650
PRETZEL: $1,000
TOTAL: $2,285

WINNERS: ASHLEY'S FAMILY

Some nice money tonight on both sides. But it's Ashley who's heading for Cabo. And am I landing in the win column?

BIG MOMEY CARD: BOOT

Nope. It's coming, I swear. Well, gotta go find some blankets. Seeya next week!
