November 27
Time to burn off some of
that turkey. Let's play some games!
Abbey's
Family
ABBEY (enjoys long walks with the
family and learning the bass)
DONNIE (Mathman, Mathman...)
GINNY (mom, master of the flower domain)
DON (dad, where her guitar skills come from) |
Marissa
Family
MARISSA (working out and out on the
scooter)
ELIANA (obsessed with photos)
DEBBIE (mom, silly stunts
KEITH (dad, karate is his game) |
They're ready to play, and I think we
should get them psyched to win $10,000 tonight.
SONIC WHAMMY'S PREDICTION: SODA
If that's not enough, how's Los Cabos sound?
Cranium Brain Break: Pin the Brain on
the Newton
Abbey & Marissa get the blindfolds on and get spun around, and the
commands come flying from the family. They're both way off wide and
looking the wrong way. Marissa even finds her way all the way back
to the Monopoly steps for a moment. Abbey finally turns the right
way and creeps her way to Todd's forehead for the win.
ABBEY'S CARD: SOCCER BALL
MARISSA'S CARD: MONEY BAG
BOUNCE'N'BOOGIE BOGGLE

After all the turkey, some people would just want to sack up and
hibernate for the winter, but that's not what this game is about.

it.

ABBEY'S CARD: WHEELBARROW
CRANIUM PIANO
My uncle likes to play Christmas carols at the end of the night when
we visit them for Thanksgiving. So this is fitting for me.
Abbey goes first against Marissa.
4531232345432
I thought that one was going to forever because they kept getting so
tired and just bouncing to the neighboring number. But Marissa finally
jumped to 1 at the end of the sequence instead of 2.
SCORE: 10-0 Abbey
Donny's now up against Eliana.
2321453135
Donny hit the 2 on the 4.
SCORE: 10-10
We're tied as the moms come up to play double keys for double points.
It's Ginny vs. Debbie.
1535
Ginny bows out early with a 4 on the 2nd 5.
SCORE: 10-30 Marissa
Bringing it right down to the dads. Don and Keith face off.
1235453123
Keith hits a 4 on the 1st 3, and we tie it up.
SCORE: 30-30
Abbey and Marissa come on back to break the deadlock.

Marissa finally feels the strain with a 4 on the 1st 3.

YAHTZEE BOWLING
I haven't seen a Yahtzee since I started
doing this. Come to think of it, I haven't seen it happen period. Maybe
tonight's the night.
Abbey's gonna roll second for the first frame, so Keith's heading down
for his family.
KEITH: 35566 > 35566 > 55666 (FULL HOUSE)

DEBBIE: 24445 > 44466 > 24446 (TRIPS)

That full house they had wasn't big enough, so they had to roll again.
And now we have the roll-off. Marissa and Donnie have elected to
represent their teams.

DONNIE: 13556 (PAIR)
WINNER: MARISSA
MARISSA'S FAMILY WINS: An Island Bay Wave rocker hammock from Hayneedle

MONOPOLY CRAZY CASH MACHINE
Another good series of games tonight, and
it's Marissa with the 3-4 defense edge. Let's see what everyone's racked
up.
Marissa's going first.
MONEY BAG: $510
PIGGY BANK: $470
PRETZEL: $555
CAR: $610
TOTAL: $2,145
It's a lower $2,000, but anything over $2,000 is tough to get in 3
cards. Can Abbey do it?
SOCCER BALL: $810
HORSE: $725
WHEELBARROW: $330
TOTAL: $1,865
WINNERS: MARISSA'S FAMILY
Whoa! Congrats to Marissa for pulling it out. I thought Abbey was gonna
get it after those high cards, but the wheelbarrow didn't push it over.
So which one would have done it?
BIG MONEY CARD: IRON
Ugh, I had it a week early again!
Thanks for giving us your energy this week. Now go rest and gear up for
all the shopping.
