Ep 4. Stroller Squad vs. Marine Scene
- July 25, 2019
In this episode of America Says, two teams compete to fill in popular survey questions with the top answers given by Americans. The Stroller Squad, comprised of four women who all met through their local moms' group, faces off against the Marine Scene, a team of four active and retired members of the Marines. Host John Michael Higgins introduces the teams, and they begin the game by trying to guess the top answers to questions like "What's something you never leave home without?" and "Name a popular type of leafy green." The Stroller Squad takes an early lead, but the Marines come back strong in the second round.
In round two, the teams try to guess survey questions that were answered by a specific group of people - in this case, millennials. The questions include "What's a term used for someone who's out of touch?" and "What website or app do you spend the most time on?" This round proves to be a bit more challenging for both teams, as they try to think like millennials even though they're not all part of that generation. The Stroller Squad holds onto their lead going into round three.
In the final round, each team has 90 seconds to guess as many answers as they can to a list of survey questions. The questions in this round range from "What's a word that comes after 'chicken'?" to "What's something you might see in a veterinarian's office?" The Stroller Squad and Marine Scene both perform well, but in the end, one team emerges victorious and moves on to the bonus round.
The bonus round gives the winning team a chance to win up to $15,000 by correctly guessing the top answers to five survey questions in 20 seconds or less. The team is given one word as a clue for each question, and they have to guess the answer before time runs out. If they get all five questions right, they win the grand prize.
Overall, Stroller Squad vs. Marine Scene is a fun and exciting episode of America Says that showcases the camaraderie and competitiveness of both teams. The questions are both challenging and accessible, and viewers at home can play along as they try to guess the top answers before the teams do. John Michael Higgins is a charismatic and engaging host who keeps the energy level high throughout the game. Whether you're a fan of game shows, trivia, or just good-natured competition, America Says is a show that's sure to entertain and engage you.
