America Says Season 4 Episode 52 Brew Buds vs. Cooking Crew

In season 4 episode 52 of America Says, we see the Brew Buds take on the Cooking Crew in a battle of knowledge and wits. The Brew Buds team consists of four friends who share a love of craft beers and have even started their own brewery. The Cooking Crew, on the other hand, are four foodies who love to experiment in the kitchen and pride themselves on their culinary creations.

As the game begins, host John Michael Higgins presents a series of survey questions to the teams, each with a list of possible answers. The goal for each team is to guess the top responses given by a group of 100 Americans surveyed. The first team to reach 300 points wins the game and a chance to advance to the bonus round.

In the first round, the Brew Buds and Cooking Crew are asked to name ingredients found in a classic Caesar salad besides lettuce. The Brew Buds strike first, quickly guessing croutons and Parmesan cheese to earn points. The Cooking Crew responds with anchovies and Caesar dressing, tying up the game.

The next question asks the teams to name toppings commonly found on a pizza. The Brew Buds correctly guess pepperoni and mushrooms, while the Cooking Crew struggles to come up with popular toppings like sausage and onions. With their lead growing, the Brew Buds continue to dominate the game, correctly guessing popular TV shows and types of pasta.

The Cooking Crew is not out of the game yet, however. As the rounds continue, they begin to catch up, correctly guessing popular flavors of ice cream and different types of cheese. As the game progresses, the tension grows, with both teams inching closer and closer to the 300 point mark.

In the final round, the teams are given a category and must guess as many items as they can within that category. The first category is types of beer, and the Brew Buds quickly run through the list, guessing IPAs, stouts, and lagers. The Cooking Crew responds with popular types of wine, before moving on to types of cuisine and popular fruits.

Finally, with just a few points separating the teams, the final category is revealed: musical genres. The teams frantically guess popular genres like hip hop and rock, but with time running out, it's unclear who will come out on top.

In the end, the game comes down to just a few points, with the Brew Buds squeaking out a narrow victory. They move on to the bonus round, where they have a chance to win a grand prize. As the episode comes to a close, it's clear that both teams gave it their all, and that the survey responses of the American people can sometimes be surprising and unexpected.
