America Says Season 2 Episode 21 Santas vs. clothing swappers

In season 2 episode 21 of America Says, titled "Santas vs. Clothing Swappers," two teams face off to guess the top answers to survey questions asked to a group of 100 Americans. The teams are divided into two groups with a holiday theme - the Santas and the Clothing Swappers.

Host John Michael Higgins brings the festive energy to the show, decked out in a red suit with white trim and a matching bow tie. As he introduces the two teams, he explains that they'll be answering a series of survey questions related to holiday traditions and clothing swaps.

The game begins with a toss-up round, where both teams try to buzz in first and guess the top answer to a survey question. The first question is about what people wear to holiday parties, and the Santas quickly buzz in with "Ugly Christmas Sweater" as their answer. It's the top answer on the board, earning them the chance to play the main round.

In the main round, the Santas take turns guessing the answers to survey questions related to holiday traditions, such as popular seasonal songs, foods, and activities. If they guess an answer that's on the board, they earn points. If not, control passes to the Clothing Swappers, who have a chance to steal the round.

As the game progresses, both teams rack up points and engage in friendly banter about their respective holiday traditions. The Santas talk about the joys of sitting on Santa's lap and sipping eggnog, while the Clothing Swappers enthuse about their love of quirky thrift store finds and the thrill of swapping clothing with friends.

The tension mounts as the final round approaches, with both teams tied in points. In a sudden death round, the teams are asked to guess the top answer to a survey question related to holiday movies. The Santas are first to buzz in, guessing "It's a Wonderful Life." It's a wrong answer, and control passes to the Clothing Swappers.

The Clothing Swappers huddle together, discussing their strategy. Finally, they take a shot in the dark and guess "A Christmas Story." To their delight, it's the top answer on the board, earning them the win.

As the game wraps up, the two teams exchange good-natured ribbing and congratulations. John Michael Higgins signs off with a cheerful holiday message, reminding viewers to cherish their own holiday traditions and the people they share them with.
