- December 10, 2018
In season 2 episode 11 of America Says, the competition heats up as the Tenants take on the Mom Club. Host John Michael Higgins leads the contestants through a series of survey questions that are based on various topics ranging from pop culture to current events.
The Tenants are made up of four friends who rent an apartment together. They have been friends for several years and enjoy spending their free time hanging out and exploring their city. The Mom Club consists of four stay-at-home moms who met through a local mommy group. They are all seasoned parents who have a wealth of knowledge about child-rearing, meals, and managing a household.
The first round of questions begins with the category "Products that make life easier." Each team has to come up with the most popular answer to questions about various products that make everyday life easier such as smartphones, dishwashers, and vacuum cleaners. While the Tenants manage to score some points, it's the Mom Club that pulls ahead with their answers about baby monitors, strollers, and nursing pillows. The score ends up being 200-100 in favor of the Mom Club.
In the second round, the teams are quizzed on pop culture topics like movies, TV shows, and music. They have to name the top answers given by the survey respondents for questions like "Top action movie star" and "Most popular TV reality show". The Tenants manage to make up some ground here, with their knowledge of popular movies and TV shows, but the Mom Club still manages to come out on top by correctly guessing the answer to "Most popular streaming service." The score at the end of this round is 375-275, in favor of the Mom Club.
The third round of questions is centered around current events and news stories. The teams have to guess what the survey respondents answered to questions like "Most talked-about news story of the year" and "Most recognized world leader". The Mom Club manages to score big points with their knowledge of political leaders and world events, but the Tenants are not far behind, with their answers about viral news stories and social media trends. At the end of the round, the score is 550-450, still in favor of the Mom Club.
In the final round, the teams have to guess the most popular answers to a series of questions that relate to their opponent's team. The Tenants are asked questions about the Mom Club, while the Mom Club is asked questions about the Tenants. They have to guess things like "Most common name among their kids" and "Best trait of the other team." The points in this round are doubled, so it's anyone's game.
Both teams end up doing well in this round, with the Tenants showing off their knowledge of the Mom Club's children's names and the Mom Club correctly guessing that the Tenants love to cook together. In the end, however, the Mom Club ends up winning with a score of 1000-890.
Overall, this episode of America Says showcases two very different teams who share a love of competition and trivia. The Mom Club's experience with child-rearing and household management proved to be an asset in many of the questions, while the Tenants' knowledge of pop culture and social media helped them to stay in the game. It was a close competition, and both teams should be proud of their performance.
