- June 28, 2018
The show America Says is a fast-paced trivia game show in which teams of contestants attempt to fill in the missing words in phrases or quotes that have been surveyed across America. The game is hosted by actor and comedian John Michael Higgins, who guides contestants through several rounds of increasingly difficult word puzzles. In this particular episode, The Preciados face off against The Dinner Party, both teams competing for a chance to win a cash prize and bragging rights as America's smartest contestants.
The Preciados consist of a family of four from Cypress, California - mother Julie, father Carlos, and their two children, Daniel and Nina. They describe themselves as a competitive family who loves to laugh and have fun. The Dinner Party, on the other hand, is a team of four friends from the Chicago area who enjoy getting together for dinner parties and socializing. The team includes Kim, a stay-at-home mom, Allison, a nurse, Steve, an attorney, and Ben, a teacher.
As the game begins, John Michael Higgins explains the rules of the game and introduces the first word puzzle. The teams have to guess the most common word or phrase that comes next in a series of incomplete phrases that are shown on a screen. For example, if the first phrase is "Life is like a box of...?" the correct answer would be "chocolates." The teams have to buzz in with their answer before their opponent does, and the team with the most correct answers at the end of the round wins a point.
The first round is fast-paced and competitive, with both teams showing their knowledge of common phrases and popular culture references. The Preciados excel at guessing phrases related to their culture, such as "arrivederci" and "fiesta," while The Dinner Party is stronger in categories such as sports and movies. The round ends with The Preciados in the lead, 4-3.
In the second round, teams have to guess the missing word in a quote from a famous person. John Michael Higgins reads a quote with one or more words missing, and the teams have to buzz in and fill in the blank. For example, if the quote is "I have a dream that my four little _____ will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character," the correct answer would be "children." The round ends with The Preciados still in the lead, 7-6.
In the third round, teams have to guess the most common word that comes to mind when people are asked to describe something. John Michael Higgins gives a category, such as "things that are sweet," and each team has to come up with the most common word that people associate with that category. For example, if the category is "breakfast foods," the most common word would be "pancakes." The team with the most correct answers at the end of the round wins another point. The round ends with The Dinner Party making a comeback and tying the game, 9-9.
In the fourth and final round, called the "Triple Threat" round, teams have to guess three words that fit a certain category, such as "things you might find in a toolbox." The teams take turns giving answers, and if they can't come up with three words in a row, their opponent gets a chance to steal. This round is tense and nail-biting, with both teams showing their knowledge and quick thinking skills. In the end, it comes down to the final question, and the winning team pulls ahead by just one point.
Overall, the episode is a fun and exciting showcase of the game show America Says. The two teams are evenly matched, and the game is filled with laughter, tension, and memorable moments. John Michael Higgins is a charming and witty host, and the puzzles are entertaining and challenging. For fans of trivia and game shows, this episode of America Says is sure to provide plenty of entertainment.
