.
- In case you're wondering
why we're dressing like this,
Kristen and I are in
a shameless push for an Oscar.
[funky music]
- Which family could
be walking out of here
with $100,000?
*
- Oh, no!
- Is it gluten-free?
- It's gluten-free.
Oh, my God!
You guys should keep this
off your teeth.
I don't like this game.
- Shame on you, NBC.
Shame on you, viewer.
- Give it up for your hosts,
Kristen Bell and Dax Shepherd!
[disco music]
*
- Hello, and welcome
to "Family Game Fight."
This is my husband,
Dax Shepherd.
- Meet my bride, Kristen Bell.
- And tonight, two families
will be put to the test
in a series
of seriously difficult games.
Luckily, they're gonna have
a little help.
- News flash:
Kristen and I are splitting up.
- Right. But only temporarily
to play alongside each family.
- Yes. I was just trying
to be dramatic.
- Understood.
- Yeah.
- Makes for good TV.
- Yes.
And one family could be
leaving here tonight
with a whopping $100,000.
- Whoo!
[cheers and applause]
- All right, let's turn
this show up to 11
and meet our families.
- Time to meet my family.
Say hello to the Alongi family.
Lina, Lorenzo,
Sayda, and Joseph.
- Whoo!
- Yes!
- Nice!
- You guys are jazzed.
We're so happy you're here.
Will you introduce everyone,
Lina?
- This is my handsome
son Lorenzo,
my beautiful daughter-in-law
Sayda,
and my other
handsome son Joseph.
- And you're Italian, right?
- We are. We're Sicilian.
- Only by marriage.
- Got it. That's all right.
- That's even deeper, right?
That's deeper
than just being Italian.
It's like, "I'm Sicilian."
- Well, you know, you know?
- Do you guys cook?
'Cause Italian food
is my favorite.
- Oh, my God. We classify
ourselves as chefs, not cooks.
- We don't--we don't cook.
We're chefs.
- We're chefs.
- Oh, I love that.
- So we're always debating
with one another.
We're all--I'm cooking,
and then, well,
they could cook better than me,
so it's always--
- Big family meals.
- Always.
- What are your signature
dishes? Lina.
- Well, I am well-known
for my eggplant parmesan.
- Ooh!
- Mm-hmm.
- I love food.
I'm a huge foodie.
Joseph, do you have
a signature dish?
- I'm usually the pizza maker
out of the family.
- Oh.
- So whenever there's pizzas,
everybody wants me
to make the pizzas.
- I like a little bit of--
tell me if this is sacrilege--
pineapple, green pepper.
- Oh!
- You're dead.
You're dead to us.
- Oh, no!
[laughter]
- Come on!
- All right, I'm very happy
to have you guys.
We're definitely
gonna talk food.
And we're also gonna
win this game.
- Yes!
- Let's go! Let's go.
- Okay, time to meet
my exciting family.
Please, let me introduce you
to the Lams!
*
Peter,
Phaedra, Jack, and Cassidy.
Okay, Lam family,
welcome to the show.
This is very exciting.
First, introduce yourself.
Cassidy.
- Yeah, So hey, everyone.
My name's Cassidy.
This is my crazy uncle Jack,
my crazy aunt Phaedra,
and my crazy one
down there is my dad, Peter.
And we are...
all: The Lam fam.
- Yeah. The Lam fam.
Now, Phaedra and Jack,
you met on a dating app.
- [laughs] Yes.
- Yes.
- And you were lying,
which I just love.
Right out of the gate.
I love this strategy.
What were you lying about?
- My age.
- Okay. You're not 31?
- No.
- Oh. Okay.
But the other one's
even funnier to me.
Age, it's like, everyone's
gonna lie about their age.
- Right. You're gonna take it
down a couple pegs, of course.
- But-but also your location?
- Well, yes.
I lived in Mammoth Lakes.
- Were you in a prison
at the time?
- No, Mammoth Lakes.
So you know,
but I grew up in LA,
so if you say you're from LA,
you get a bigger pool.
- Right. Right.
- Mammoth Lakes area is--
you know, it's kind of--
- And Phaedra, how many years
did he shave off?
- I think, like, five.
- That's respectable.
- That's fine.
- Ten, you're pathological.
Five, you're standard, I think.
- Yeah.
- And it ended in a love story,
so it's all good.
- Yeah.
- All comes out in the wash.
- It worked out.
- This is gonna be a good one.
All right,
let's play our first game
and get this competition going.
- It's time to play
Pie Rollers.
- Oh!
*
In this game, Kristen and Dax
will each see a secret word,
then wager how many words
it will take
to get
their partner to guess it.
Three pies to the face,
and the family loses.
- Welcome to Pie Rollers.
The winning family will
leave here with 500 points.
Can I ask, Phaedra,
why were you selected?
- Because I think, maybe,
I teach second grade.
I know some words.
A few.
Anything past second,
though, you know...
- Yeah, yeah.
- Massive trouble.
- Now, we have a second-grader.
- Yeah.
- Well, just--
- Well, she would be like...
[dramatically]
"I'm a third-grader now."
- Yeah, yeah.
So if you can sit
in a classroom
with second-graders, boy,
you can get a pie
in the face any time.
Why were you selected?
Are you a wordsmith?
- No, I was selected because
I'm the best on my team.
- Oh, okay. That makes sense.
- Yes, Sayda.
Here we go.
Our first word.
- Mm.
Mm.
- Kristen, we got this?
- I can do it in three.
- I can do it in two.
- Ay.
- I can do it in one.
[crowd gasps]
- There we go.
- Okay, okay.
- I can do it in zero.
I'm gonna stare at you.
- I can do it in one.
It just came to me.
- Oh.
Stakes are high.
Coming right out of the gates
with a very,
very tall order to fill.
- Sayda.
- Get it wrong.
- Scampi.
- Shrimp.
[cheers and applause]
- Wow.
- Oh!
- [squeals]
[bell dings]
Oh, no!
- It is a surprise every time.
- [in slow motion]
Oh, no!
- All right, let's see
our next word.
- Oh, gosh.
- Okay.
- Okay. I can do it in three.
I was just thinking
of this time
that she cracked open
a bottle of wine
and...
locked the door to her bathroom
and drew a bath.
- I think I can do it in two.
- I could do it in two as well.
But it can't be done in one.
- Sayda.
- Yes.
- Greek...
god.
- Hercules.
[buzzer sounds]
- Oh!
[cheers and applause]
[ding]
- I'm so sorry.
Oh, Lord.
- Is it gluten-free?
- It's gluten-free.
Yes, it's gluten-free.
Phaedra, do you want
to take a guess?
'Cause I think you know it.
- Yeah, it's Zeus.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah, he was, like,
the main bro.
So I thought--I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
- That's okay.
- All right.
- Okay, let's get
the next word.
- I can do it in four.
- My life is in your hands.
- Ooh.
- This is the time when Dax
steps into the steam shower...
- No.
- And he really takes
a load off for the day,
and he stretches his sore,
big boy muscles.
- These are
weird visualizations.
- He's struggling.
He is struggling.
- Three.
- I'll take your three.
- All right. All right.
- I can't do it in two.
- Here we go!
- We're gonna do this.
- "And bear it."
- Grin.
[cheers and applause]
Yeah! Yeah! - Yeah!
- Yes!
- Oh!
[ding]
[laughter]
- Good job.
- Ahh!
- Yes.
- Okay, let's get
the next word.
- Let's go, Kristen.
- Ha-ha!
- All right, Dax, you got this.
That was a really
good one last time.
- Thank you.
It's a toughie, huh?
- Yes, it is.
- All right. Um...
I can do three.
- Yes.
- I cannot do it in two.
- Okay. Oh.
- Well, well, well.
- No pressure. No pressure.
- The heat is on.
- Come on.
- Lifestyles, rich, and...
- Famous.
Yeah! Yes!
Yes!
[cheers and applause]
- The Lam family
wins the game.
That's 500 points.
- You know what?
We're being smart,
'cause we were just warming up.
- Oh, yeah.
- We're waiting for the other
games to win it.
So it's not gonna be a problem.
Join us after the break
for more "Family Game Fight."
.
- All right! Whoo!
- Welcome back to
"Family Game Fight."
In case you're wondering
why we're dressed like this,
Kristen and I are in
a shameless push for an Oscar.
- Now, we didn't win the first
round, but that is okay.
I'll take your 500, Lams,
and I'm gonna raise it 1,000,
because that's what's
this next game has to offer.
I do have an instinct,
but I could be wrong.
Voice in the Sky,
what are we playing?
- Fruit Flies!
- Ah, yes.
- It's not what I thought.
- In this relay race,
each player attempts to fling
fruit into their crate.
The first family to fling
five pieces of fruit
into their crate wins.
- All right, let's huddle
up and do this.
The game starts
when we hear the horn.
All right, who should go first?
- You're gonna go first.
- I'm gonna go first.
A lot of pressure.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Let's say we bring
two food out there.
- Yeah.
- We shoot one, make it in.
Do we leave it out there
for the next person to come
in and jump and take that?
- Yes.
- Not even gonna ask about that
rule, 'cause the answer is yes.
- Okay.
- All right, everyone
in starting position.
- Oh.
Do we start on our backs,
or should we get romanced
to that point?
- Three. Two. One.
- Fruit! Oh, wait.
No, no, you guys--
- No, Dax, you gotta get it!
You gotta get it!
- You do?
- You gotta get it!
- Go, go, go, go, go!
- Get one! Get one!
- Kristen, come on!
- You can do this!
- Go! Go!
- Yes!
- Yes! Yes!
- Go, go, go, go!
- Go! Go! Go!
- Keep going! Keep going!
Keep going! Keep going!
- You got it, you got it,
you got it!
- Yeah, yeah, yeah!
- So close! So close!
- Keep going!
- Down, down, down.
- Yep. Yep.
Getting some height. Too high!
Go lower. Go lower.
Back up a little bit. Back up.
- Come on. Come on, come on!
Let's go, let's go!
- Back up. Back up.
- You got this!
- You got it, you got it.
- Too high. There you go.
- No, it's all twisted!
It's all twisted!
Untwist it.
Yes, yes, yes!
Take your time.
- Oh! I hate Fruit Flies!
- Little bit more height.
- Come on! Come on!
- Yes! Yes!
- Yes!
- Go! Go!
- Come on, go!
- Let's go!
- Kristen, Dax, you have
one timeout, remember.
- Oh!
- Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
- Amazing! One and done!
- Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
We got three! We got three.
- Yeah!
- Whoo! Come on, Uncle Jack!
You got this.
- Untwist it. Untwist it.
Take your time.
- A little higher, 24.
- On your back. Yeah, yeah.
- Higher, 24. Higher.
- Come on!
- No!
- Yeah!
- All right, let's go!
Let's go.
- Come on, last one!
Let's get it!
- One more, one more, one more!
Come on, mama, you got this!
- Higher!
- Time! Time! Time! Time! Time!
- Timeout called.
- We need to talk.
- He called a timeout.
- Timeout. He called a timeout.
- It's fine. We're doing great.
- First of all, you don't need
to be in a full spread eagle.
- Pull down more than back.
- So like...
- Down more than back.
- Down this way.
- Yes, yes, yes.
- Okay. Okay.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Go like that.
- Yeah.
And you have to shoot it up.
- Yeah, that's gonna work.
- Three. Two. One.
- Okay. All right.
[air horn blows]
- Okay, okay.
- Come on. Come on.
Try it again. It's okay.
- Project.
- Angle. Angle it. Yeah.
- Oh, my gosh.
- Oh!
- Yeah! Oh!
- Kristen! Kristen, remember,
you have one timeout.
- One more fruit.
- You have one timeout
if you want it.
- Timeout.
- Timeout! Timeout!
Timeout! Timeout! Timeout!
- Timeout called.
- Guys, this is down
to the wire; next basket wins.
- As much as you
can possibly pull back...
- Listen to-listen to Kristen.
- Get the major, major string
down here, and try
and straighten your legs.
- Do I hold it here?
- Yeah, hold it there,
and then
just let your hands go.
Put your legs this way...
- Okay.
- So you get more here.
More there.
Yes!
- I think your banana
fell out of your pants.
- Three. Two. One.
The Lam family wins!
[cheers and applause]
- That's all right.
That's all right.
It's our short legs.
It's harder. That's all right.
That's all right.
- Whoo, that was close!
That was close!
- The Lam family has
1,500 points;
the Alongis, zero.
- All right.
- That's okay. That's okay.
Don't worry. Okay?
We got this.
There's, like, a million points
to still be won, right?
We're just getting started.
We'll be right back
with more "Family Game Fight."
.
[cheers and applause]
[disco music]
- Welcome back to
"Family Game Fight,"
where, with a tiny bit
of help from me,
the Lam family
is leading the way.
- Whoo!
- That's no big thing.
- It's okay.
- But right now,
it's time for this.
- Dax and Kristen's
Halftime Showdown!
- Stretching.
- Stretch it out.
Stretch it out.
- It's the part of the show
where I get to do
two of my favorite things:
play with my husband
and eat lots of food.
- Yes, we are about to play
the lip-smacking game
that
you might know as Taste Buds.
[cheers and applause]
- In this game, Kristen
and Dax are blindfolded
and must taste and describe
mystery food items
to each other.
The family who best predicts
how they'll do
wins 1,000 points.
*
- Yes!
- All right,
time to enter your guesses.
- No telling how we'll do.
- It is completely impossible
to guess.
It can't be done.
- It can't be done.
- No.
- All right, guys, time
to lock in your guesses.
- Everyone locked in? Okay.
- Locked.
- We're locked.
We're ready to go.
- The service here is terrible.
- Yeah, I don't see any food.
- Yeah.
- So can we get some waiters?
- Waiter!
- Grab someone--
flag someone down?
- Ah.
- Yes, Claudia.
All right, the game begins
when we hear the horn.
Let's pop on our blindfolds.
All right. Be ready, Kristen.
- Three. Two. One.
[air horn sounds]
- Oh!
You put it on as a condiment.
- Sure.
- And it's kind of spicy.
- Ketchup. Mustard.
- No.
- Hot sauce.
- No. And you put it on
a burger, I think, maybe?
- Relish.
- No, no, no.
You put it on a lot of meat.
A lot of meat. A lot of meat.
- Oh, okay, A1.
- No.
Well, what's
kind of--what is that?
- Barbecue.
- Yes.
- All right. Come on. Come on.
- Yes.
- Right here, Dax.
- Oh, okay.
Halloween's known for this.
- Candy.
- No.
for the-for the vegetable.
- Pumpkins.
- Yep.
- Is it pumpkin?
- Well, and then a dessert.
- Pumpkin puree. Pumpkin pie.
- Yep.
- Oh!
- Oh, boy.
- It's salty, for sure.
- Okay. Salt.
- Oh! No. You know what?
- Tell me.
- I think that you
put it in pesto.
- Oh.
- It's a legume.
It's a legume,
but it's a hard one.
- Oh, my goodness.
- Like an almond,
but not an almond.
- And it's in a what?
- It's tiny.
It's tiny.
it's teeny-teeny-tiny.
- A caper. A caper?
- No, you love these.
You love these.
Like a-like a big tree...
- Olive.
- Is called a...
- A what tree?
- Like, a Christmas tree is...
- Is a conifer
- What kind of tree?
- A pine tree.
- Yes. Is it--
- Pine nuts.
- Yes.
- Whoo!
[dark tone plays]
-
No, it's not.
- Oh my--
- Let me taste it again.
- Oh, wow.
- [bleep].
- Okay.
- What kind of other kind
of legumes do you know?
- Beans.
- No. Babies like to...
- Peanuts.
- Remember the word you said?
The word you said.
- Pine.
- Yeah. And the other word.
- Pine-pine nuts.
- Names of other nuts.
- Time's up.
- What was it?
- The answer was
sunflower seeds.
- Oh, sunflower seeds.
[laughter]
- Well, I would say you have
egg on your face,
but in fact you have any number
of things on your face.
- It was sunflower seeds.
- Sure. Real tall flower.
- So that wasn't
our best game.
- Uh, that was terrible.
- We had some trouble.
- Did we get one?
- Alongi family,
let's reveal your guess.
Gosh.
- Something tells me we didn't
get to seven.
- Not even close.
- I don't feel
like we got seven.
- Didn't feel like seven,
did it?
- Lams, what'd you guys guess?
- Might have been seven minutes
on that last clue,
it felt like, but not seven
correct clues.
- We guessed six.
- Wow.
- Joel, how many did we nail?
- Two!
[bumbling music]
- Ouch.
That one was on me.
- Guys, we're no longer
gonna host this show.
- I'm sorry.
- I think it's quite
obvious that
there'd be much
better people.
- They shouldn't want us
playing on their team.
You guys should kick us
off your teams.
- Oh, wow, wow, wow.
- Which means, the Lam family,
you are the closest,
so you win 1,000 points.
- The Lam family
has 2,500 points;
the Alongi family, zero.
- It's okay.
- Okay, okay, okay, okay.
- Wait, can I say something?
- Tell me things.
- It's really hard to guess
the size of an object
when it's in your mouth.
I thought about that sentence,
and then when it came out,
I realized that
it sounded pervy, but...
- It's real dicey,
that sentence.
- It's-it's--but it is!
Put this in your mouth.
You tell me, how big is it?
How big is that?
Just small, right?
- It's like a sunflower seed.
That's about the size,
it feels like.
- All right.
- Okay.
Listen, Lam family,
you guys have done amazing.
It's been a pleasure
to be with you. But...
- Thank you, thank you.
- I think it would only be fair
if I took this current
hot streak I'm on--
which,
I'm not always on one.
Sometimes it's ice cold...
- That's true.
- My streaks.
I would love
to join the Alongis,
if you guys will have me.
- Yes!
- Absolutely!
Yes, let's do it!
- And I'm gonna
get my mojo back,
and I'm gonna come to you
with some power
and some heart, okay?
- Yes!
- All right, we're gonna head
back into the locker room
and talk turkey.
We'll be right back.
.
[cheers and applause]
- Welcome back to
"Family Game Fight."
I am with my new family,
the Lams.
- Whoo!
- Happy to be here.
[laughter]
- Alongi. Alongi.
- That's so scary.
- A-lon-gi. Alongi.
- Alongi.
And I'm Chef Boyar-Dax,
and I'm here
with the Alongi family.
all: Yeah!
[cheers and applause]
- All right, before we rock,
can
we take a look at the scores?
- The Lam family
has 2,500 points,
while the Alongis have zero.
- Not for long.
- Yeah!
- Not for long.
- That might have been my bad,
Alongis.
I'm sorry.
okay, but it's time
for our first game
since we swapped families,
and this one
is worth 2,000 points.
- This is where we get
back in the game.
- Yep.
- Now, I have an idea,
but Voice in the Sky,
what are we playing?
- Deep Dish Dash!
- And here's how
it's gonna work.
- I'll be receiving
the pizza orders.
Then I will pass that info
to Peter and Jack.
- Cue Peter and Jack. Oh, boy.
- Looking adorable.
And they will be working
together,
as you can see,
to build the pizzas.
- Get the toppings wrong,
and that pizza
will not be sent out.
- We've got all the standard
toppings back here.
We've got Swedish Fish,
butterscotch, sardines,
chocolate syrup,
powdered sugar,
and tarantula eggs.
- Oh!
- What?
- Eww!
- I can't eat pizza
without tarantula eggs.
I just will spit it right out.
- I know that about you.
- I gotta have
those taranty legs.
Okay, if the Alongi family
gets impatient,
they can hit
the ten second turbo button
three times during the game.
There's 90 seconds
on the clock.
And the Deep Dish Dash
will commence
when you hear the horn.
- Three. Two. One.
- Okay, butterscotch,
powdered sugar...
- Come on, guys.
- Swedish Fish.
Butterscotch, powdered sugar,
Swedish Fish.
You got it. You got it.
Butterscotch, powdered sugar,
Swedish Fish.
You got it. Okay.
- Turbo!
- Sardines.
- Sardines?
- Sardines.
- Oh, wow, that boogies.
- Swedish Fish, tarantula eggs.
- Swedish Fish.
- Yes.
- Tarantula eggs.
- Love it.
- Speed up.
- Sardines, Swedish Fish,
tarantula eggs.
- [inaudible].
- Tarantula eggs. Oh, my God.
Sardines, Swedish Fish.
Swedish Fish on this one.
Yeah. Butterscotch,
chocolate syrup, Swedish Fish.
- Together. Together.
- Butterscotch, chocolate
syrup, Swedish Fish.
- Oh, they're a mess.
They're a mess.
- Now, just some Swedish Fish.
Yes! Yes!
- Oh!
- Powdered sugar, sardines.
- Sardines.
- Tarantula eggs.
- Hurry, hurry. [inaudible].
- Powdered sugar, sardines,
tarantula eggs.
Powdered sugar, sardines,
tarantula eggs. Yes!
Chocolate syrup,
powdered sugar, tarantula eggs.
- Powdered sugar.
- Chocolate syrup,
powdered sugar, tarantula eggs.
- Tarantula eggs.
- Diction is important.
Tarantula eggs.
- Turbo!
- Yes. Chocolate syrup,
sardines, Swedish Fish.
Chocolate syrup, sardines.
Get those Swedish Fish
on there!
- Faster!
- Sardines, chocolate syrup,
throw some Swedish Fish
on there. Yes!
- Yes!
- Powdered sugar, sardines.
- Come on, guys!
Not too much time left!
- Powdered sugar.
- Yeah!
- Sardines, Tarantula eggs.
Yes.
- Yeah!
- Butterscotch.
- Butterscotch. Over there.
- Sardines.
- Make it faster.
- And Swedish Fish.
The last three.
- Sardines. Swedish Fish.
- The last three.
The last three. The last three.
Yeah!
Butterscotch...
- Time's up.
- Yeah!
- You guys,
there is no way
they're beating that.
- That's hard.
- Wow.
- Whoo!
Daxy, you want to play this?
- I don't. It looks messy.
But alas, it is our duty.
So
time to switch it up.
Alongis.
- The Lams got nine pizzas,
so the Alongis need ten pizzas
to win the round.
- Okay. Joseph and Lorenzo,
I believe you know what to do.
- Yes, sir.
- You guys have made a couple
thousand pizzas in your day.
- Yeah, a couple.
- Just a few thousand.
- Just a couple.
- Great.
- I know, these are the chefs,
so I'm actually--
I thought our score was good
until I remembered
how much they cook.
So regardless,
you've got 90 seconds.
The Deep Dish Dash
will commence
when you hear the horn.
- Three. Two. One.
- Chocolate syrup,
eggs, and sardines.
Gorgeous pie, guys.
- Okay, chocolate syrup,
powdered sugar, Swedish Fish.
- Oh, turbo.
- Okay, hit it. Hit it.
Okay. Butterscotch.

[air horn blares]

They didn't make it.
- Are you serious?
- I don't think so.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- The Alongi family got
ten pizzas,
which beats the Lams' total
of nine.
The Alongis win.
- Whoo!
- Wow, wow, wow.
- The Lam family has 2,500
points; the Alongis, 2,000.
- Oh!
- That's what I'm
talking about.
- That was a really quick
catchup, you guys.
But there's
one more game to play.
.
[cheers and applause]
- Welcome back to
"Family Game Fight."
We are just one game away
from our finale, Spin Cycle.
Hit us with the scores.
- The Lam family
has 2,500 points;
the Alongi family, 2,000.
- Very tight indeed.
- Anyone's game.
- Voice in the Sky,
what are we playing?
- It's time
to play Brain Freeze.
In this game, one player
enters the isolation freezer.
Then, their teammates see
a category and make a list.
The player returns to guess
items from the list.
But every time they fail,
it's a brain freeze.
After three of those,
the other family plays
to try and beat their score.
- Welcome to Brain Freeze.
Everyone is security hooked up
to their death devices.
The Lams are in the lead,
so they are playing first.
Every match
is worth 1,000 points.
Phaedra.
- Yep.
- Go ahead and head
into the freezer.
- See you, guys.
- You got this, Phaedra.
- Come on.
- We'll do good for you.
- Bring back ice cream.
- Okay, guys, you're gonna be
listing things
associated with New York City.
You have 20 seconds
on the clock.
Wait for the countdown.
We will begin with you
when you hear the horn.
- Three. Two. One.
- Empire State Building.
- Times Square.
- The Mets.
- Subway.
- Broadway.
- Big Apple.
- The Yankees.
- Business.
- Statue of Library.
- Dancers.
- Broadway.
- CEO.
- Airplane.
- Drag queens.
- Rockefeller Center.
- Blank.
- Bridge. Brooklyn Bridge.
- Crime.
- NYPD.
- Buildings.
- Time's up.
- Joel, let's get Phaedra
out of the freezer.
I just want to tell you all,
as someone who has been
through this process,
you are gonna love it
in five years.
In five years,
you're gonna look back and go,
"This was great."
But not until five years
has expired.
Okay, Phaedra, your family
just made a list of things
associated with New York City.
- Whoo!
- Okay.
- Okay. Time to start guessing.
- All right.
First one, Statue of Liberty.
Okay, Twin Towers.
- Okay. Well, unfortunately
that is not correct,
and I now have to hit this.
all: Ahh!
- Oh! Wow, wow, wow,
- It's okay. It's okay,
we're in it together.
- This is an evil, evil game.
- Okay.
- Phaedra, please resume.
- Um...
- You got this. You got this.
- Hot dogs?
- No!
- Unfortunately, that results
in a brain freeze.
- Oh, gosh! Oh, gosh!
- Oh, honey, honey. Okay!
Oh, boy.
Phaedra, you have one
strike left. Please proceed.
- Come on, Phaedra.
- Okay.
Taxis.
- Oh, no!
- I'm so sorry, my love.
That's three strikes.
- Oh, Phaedra. Oh, Phaedra.
Oh, boy.
- Oh, wow.
- I'm gonna cry.
- Oh, wow.
- That's okay, Phaedra.
That's okay.
- Were there also spirits
coming through yours?
'Cause it sounded
like you were possessed.
Whoo-oo! Okay, well,
after three brain freezes,
that means
time to switch it up.
- The Lam family got one
correct match,
which means the Alongi family
needs two correct matches
to make it through
to Spin Cycle.
- Okay, it is Dax and the
Alongi family's turn to play.
They need two matches
to make it through
to the Spin Cycle
for a shot at $100,000.
Lorenzo, head on
into that brain freezer.
All right. You got this.
Okay, guys, your category is...
things you see on a road trip.
You have 20 seconds
on the clock.
Mama, we'll begin with you.
Your time starts
when you hear the horn.
- Three. Two. One.

A few dupes.

- Just a little cold.
- It's a little cold.
A little cold.
- Just a little bit.
- Lorenzo,
your family
just made a list of things
you see on a road trip. Okay?
Remember, you need to guess
two things correctly
to make it through
to Spin Cycle
for a shot at $100,000.
Time to start guessing.
- Let's start with cars.
- Very nice.
- Monuments.
- I'm sorry, Lorenzo, monuments
was not on the list.
I'm very, very sorry
to do this.
That's a brain freeze.
- Terrible experience.
- I don't like this game.
- Shame on you.
Shame on you, NBC.
Shame on you, viewer.
- All right.
- Okay.
- Lorenzo, can you get this
back?
You need another one...
- All right.
- Before you get two
more brain freezes.
Give me another guess.
- Let's go with traffic.
Oh, no.
- I'm so sorry, guys.
Brain freeze.
- Oh, my God!
- This is not funny.
It's not funny.
- It's not funny. This is
so stressful for a codependent.
- Oh, my God.
- Not to make it about me,
guys, but...
- Oh, my gosh, honey,
I'm sorry,
are we stressing you out?
- A little bit.
- You guys, stop stressing
my wife out.
- Please. Please.

give me another guess.
This will make
or break the game.
- RVs?
- Oh.
- [cackles]
- Dax, it's not--
- Mom, the noise you made--
- That's not funny, Dax.
- You see the kind of pain
I can withstand?
- The Lam family wins!
The final score is
Lam family, 3,500 points;
Alongi family, 3,000.
- Guys, I'm so sorry
it went that way.
- Lam family, congrats.
You made it through
to Spin Cycle.
Join us after the break
to see if the Lams
can leave here with $100,000.
.
- Welcome back to
"Family Game Fight."
Congratulations, Lams, you've
made it through to Spin Cycle!
- Yeah!
- Good job!
Now, look, this all goes
well--by well, I mean we get
ten--you guys
are gonna leave here
with $100,000.
all: Whoo!
- Yeah!
- So let's do this,
and let's do it
in a game called Spin Cycle.
Oh, yeah.
Yes, yes, yes.
Oh, the Lam family.
- I'm ready for this.
All right, here's how it works.
Our job is to get you
to guess ten secret clues.
Can we activate
the platform, please?
We're gonna be spinning.
- This area is called
the Say It Space.
We can use unlimited words
to help guide you to a word.
- Okay.
- And then we will be moving
over to the Scribble Space,
where Kristen and all
of her artistic prowess
will draw something that you
will immediately identify,
which will be $10,000.
It's gonna be wonderful.
If you don't like
watching people do it,
don't look at the Do It Space,
because that is what
happens here.
- No words.
- No talkie.
No...
both: funny business.
- No funny business.
Just acting out the clues.
- Regular old charades.
- Well, I think that
made me trademarked, hon.
- Sorry.
All right, every correct answer
is worth $10,000. All right?
- If you get ten...
- Jack just got really excited.
- That is $40,000.
- No, baby.
- That's not the math.
- Oh, my goodness.
- Bring it up.
- Not 100 grand.
- 100 grand.
- No one told me!
- Let's go, let's go,
let's go, let's go.
- What will you guys do,
Lam family, with $100,000?
- We are all really big
Dodger fans,
and we would like to spend
that money on season tickets,
but when they get
to the World Series,
right behind home plate,
for our whole family.
- Oh!
All right, here's the
one thing I forgot to mention:
you will also be spinning
and getting faster.
- Ooh.
- Sorry about that.
- Ooh!
- Grab a podium.
- Oh. [laughs]
- You can start guessing
when you hear the horn.
- Okay.
